Advice to buyer: |
Spend the extra for the upgrade package, A/C, and CD player - it's not that much more, and it's worth it, for sure |
Detailed review: |
My first car was a Saab 900S, which I loved. However, it was costing me way too much money to keep up, so I had to get a different car. I don't believe in buying used cars, because I think it's buying someone else's problem(s). Having limited income, I needed an inexpensive used car. I test drove the Toyota Echo, and it definitely had more comfortable seats and better quality interior. But I didn't like it enough to spend thousands more, so I opted for the Rio. I now have 18,000 miles on my car, and never had a problem (exceptlocking the keys in my car, and the free roadside assistance was there within ten minutes each time to let me in!). My sister bought the Echo and, let me just say, I'm really happy I chose the Rio. It's great in the city and on the highway - and all my friends have been pleasantly surprised by its quality and looks. I definitely recommend this one as the best 'starter' car. |
