No need to fast for 2D echo, I just did mine.
I've never heard of any cars doing this, but if true, it sounds like a great feature to me. It would protect your brakes from overheating in an exteme case, but also will save your brake pads from wearing too fast. Since I don't see how this could be happening as the result of a defect, I'd assume it is designed this way intentionally. My 2000 and 2001 echo's do not do this.
I drive a stock 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, which is suprisingly fast. At the track, it ran a 14.6 in the quarter-mile. For a 1.8 Liter, it is much more powerful than one would expect.
It has a 108 horsepower 1.5-liter engine. But if you are asking this question - you are probably looking at the wrong car! :) You should be asking what the total cost of ownership is and how many miles per gallon it gets. That said, this car has a lot of zip due to its light weight. It can do 0-60 surprisingly fast, and can even tow 2000 lbs (has mounts for a hitch).
a Toyota
yes, very fast.
It's as fast as you can empower it to be!
It's and Enzo Ferrari, and it goes 220mph.
First of all, it is illegal to do so. Secondly, the only way is to disconect the speedo sender, which obviously also stops the speedo so you wont know how fast you are travelling, but that will stop the odometer.
Not as fast as a Toyota Camry 2012 V6
