Echo Hatch or Smart car?

[jlai]

I prefer the 4 door echo hatch for sure , with the right spoiler and rims , it can be quite appealing 

[szefob93]

i like the 4 door smart? ?   it is coming next year

[Ice-520]

I like the echo with mods

the only smart I like is their smart roadster

[FR3D]

I prefer echo with mods too, echo turbo!

I gotta say Echo... Smart is too filmsy.. is like they are going to fall apart.. too toy like.. 

[Absinthe]

If you don't care about speed, get the Smart..... it's quite an eye-catcher .  If you're planning to mod it, then get the Echo.

the Smart for 2 can't handle corners too, it was tested on topgear b4 and the car just went straight into the corner and off the track

i dunno if u guys has seen the white echo in richmond (branded Vitz badge at the back), that has gold(?)rims.... dun remember much...but definitely did the intake and cat-back and exhaust...

however..there's always the TRD supercharger for echo

Supercharger??  I didn't know they had one for the echo!  Oh well....forget that!  If you got the dough, import a Vitz turbo engine from japan and there you have it!  Instant power boost....plus, upgrade the turbo, intercooler and various other components and you'll have a B*tchin pea sized car to tear up some riced out civic.

sorry i hv no idea how the output is for the Vitz turbo?

any numbers?


generally speaking, the TRD...they made supercharger for almost EVERY engine size they hv..

for instance..cars like Scion, or Echo with the 1.5L..they hv one
1 for 1.8L like corolla n matrix
1 for 1.8L (celica GTS VVTL-i engine)
2.4L
3.0L...
4.7L too.. i think...

I guess Vitz turbo...we are looking at around 120-140hp?

[rancid]

they've had the vitz turboed a while back when they first came out in japan.  Just like the starlet engines...we just got the detuned version in the form of the tercel.  It was a damn nice engine too...still is.  They even have turbo charged corollas in the form of levins.  It's too bad toyota axed their sports car line up....they knew how to make good sports cars.  I miss the mr2 and supra so much!

[FR3D]

it'll be sweet if they bring the Levin back!

[Ice-520]

vitz turbo is in gt4, but I borrowed it to my frd,can't check now

anyways, have u guys seen the neew vitz for jap.? IMO, it is ugly as hell(or it is just too radical)

[_Haro]

Vitz RS is so cool......i saw a red one with gold rims and CF hood, pretty nice
does smart cost more than echo?

oh and the other day i saw a smart with a towing hitch at UBC.......wtf is that going to tow?

[Absinthe]

Hmm... baby stroller?

[Inno]

yeah........smart does cost more than echo....

the new echo looks ok....but then again....it's the design trend changing.....just like the new IS


lol....towing a baby stroller?? the wheels there are gonna fall off!!!
i would believe more for  a shopping cart instead.. lol

[Inno]

BTW.. i've seen ppl done BIG rims for the Smart on the road....

and they have like weird paint...with dots and stuff....are those styles from factory?!?!
