 We have really enjoyed our Toyota Echo. 
If you are not after luxury, this is 
one to consider. It gets great gas 
mileage, and it has plenty of leg room. 
Our son is 6'2" and he has no 
complaints with the head and leg room. 
It has plenty of pep for passing and 
take-offs. And it cruises nicely down 
the road at 70 mph.
It sets up higher than any compact car 
we considered.
It also has plenty of trunk space. For 
the price, comfort and economy you 
can't beat it!
