2004 Toyota ECHO Sedan 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
disagree with your review
 I own the echo hatch(canada).I love it 
inside and out .I'm 6'4 and have had no
issues completely comfortable.As for 
the centre mounted gauges, my seated 
height usually interfered with my view 
through the steering wheel ,once 
you've tried it ,its always just there 
even while spinning the wheel.Handling 
wise i've driven everything from my 
old celica and previa up to new f-350 
work trucks I can definetly say that 
my echo handles a twisty road better 
than anything in my experience its so 
light you can throw it in to the 
corners and go fast feeling confident 
that you can decelerate and manouver 
in a hurry.
