The Echo, as I said the other day, is about 3X boomier (the engine that is) than the SPI, nevermind the Zetec. The doors are indeed crap... the fiancee asked me where the rest of the barn was to go with those doors! :lol:
As for the stickier/wider tire route... hell, I can't wait to put 215/40R17s or something close to that on the SPI. It works for every car. The suspension on the Echo (going stock for stock here) felt wayyyy too sponge-like. It was much too eager to travel, and threatened to smack the bumpstops on spots in North Bay that the Focus ate up eagerly.
And I re-iterate, what the hell is a "cold coolant" dashboard light doing in a car sold in Canada? :D :lol:
