 Detailed review:

Love it!! I bought one after I did the research, seems like a high quality eco car!! Other reviews stated this car feels bumpy like a jeep- maybe its not as smooth as a luxury car but I own a jeep and this feels pretty smooth- good suspension! A jeep is bumpy, this car has small tires so you will feel a few of the pot holes but you dont jerk around like you do in a jeep- it feels pretty smooth to me- smoother than our pick up and jeep. I have been getting 42 MPG in my new XA! It doesnt come with cruise control but the dealership added it for pretty cheap! ($395) I love that it has a Toyota Engine!! I'm expecting this car to outlast our New 2005 Ford Pick-up as well as every other economy car out there. I was also able to buy an extended warrenty on the car for 70k miles/7 years. I'd recommend getting the manual tranny as its more fun to drive. Since the Echo is the top car for customer satisfaction and this is the same car with a different body I figured its got to be great- I almost bought the Hyundai Elantra but when I saw all the horrible customer reviews I went with the XA- Hyundai has a better warranty but its because they need it or their customers would be bankrupt.

 Also considered:

2005 Hyundai Elantra
