Congradulations Stuts!! That's awesome. Although as you said painful I'm sure you're very happy about your purchase. I'm jealous! I assume you got the hatch right? 5-door? 3-door? Getting a new car is very exciting, something to mess with-at least for guys. What color is it? Can't wait to see pictures!

YO Echo ya I did get the Hatch I got the five door I am so happy I did I was going to get the 3 but I thought a couple years down the road it would really start bugging me that I did not have four doors so ya I am pleased that I got the four door hatch well five actually lol the colour is Silver I got the Mp3 Upgrade Arm Rest and tint added on I also got the LE package oh another thing I think is neat the remote key that is cool everything the lock and unlock and beeper thing is all on the key itself that is neat usually it’s on a hole separate device they only gave me one which sucks oh well okay this is not really about the car but something that will I hope protect it if any bad guys come knocking today I bought the Master Lock TITANIUM series basically the thing that goes over your steering wheel and its suppose to protect your car from being stolen please check out website http://www.canadiantire.ca/assortments/product_detail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=140847439 6669482&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474396670271&bm UID=1144780748032&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524443278 477&assortment=primary&fromSearch=true

Anyways I am basically wondering what you guys think stupid or what????????????????????? For the Yaris owners and I am sure Echo we do have a theft device thing on the cars eh it’s a code thing that is in the keys the car will not start with out it anyways just thought I would say that

Hey stuts, I think silver looks good on that car-from the pictures I've seen and I saw a silver three door at the auto show back in March which I thought looked sharp. I don't have remote keyless entry or whatever you want to call it but I do have remote arm and disarm for my security system. As sad as this is I think its fun to play with, and you also feel important like you have a high tech car and its more expensive than it really is-okay maybe that's just me What do you mean its a code thing and it won't start without the keys? I think if you have a new car and have the money, security is a good investment, even if some one does steal your car (heaven forbid) at least you won't be clueless about it. For example if you're in school or work and your car is out of sight and sound (alarm) and someone breaks in your transmitter (depending on brand) might beep or flash and you will know someone has attempted or has taken your car. Happy motoring!!

Ya I hear ya with the Alarm Echo for now I will just stick with the Club thing that I have for the steering wheel and cross my fingers if some punk does try to break in it will deter him I have to say once again driving around in this car you get so many looks it is unbelievable I almost feel a little embarrassed I am not the type that likes a lot of attention I hope to wax it up tomorrow we will see what happens and ya the silver is sweet and the tint I got really sets it off I am very happy I got the tint anyways off to watch the Maple leafs loose another game

Congrats STUTS on finally getting your Yaris. Hope you enjoy it for a very long time as I've enjoyed my Echohatch. Welcome to the family and I know you'll love driving it.

Getting the Club is a smart move, a great visual theft deterent. The only annoying thing (as a friend of mine has one) is that it does take those precious seconds to put it on (and to take it off), especially if you're in a hurry or something. Nonetheless, it's the saying of "better be safe than sorry" and it'd be better with one than without. My Echohatch, however, has no alarm/immobilizer/club whatsoever. The way I think of it, is that if a skillful thief wanna steal my car, he/she can steal it no matter what I do. Besides, if my hatch is stolen, then I might be looking into a new Yaris If my car is done up with mods and stuff, then I'll purchase an alarm system of some sort. Right now I'm just enjoying it bone stock.

Last week I took my 2005 Echo in for a replacement rear bumper cover as a result of an accident in December. The rental car they gave me for a day was an 2007 Yaris 5 door with 15km on it.

Compared with my Echo the Yaris has considerably better noise insulalation. The doors are a lot thicker and make a satisfying thud when closed. It also takes corners a lot better. I always find myself leaning side to side when taking sharp corners in my Echo. I don't have plans on switching to a Yaris anytime soon though. The ads for the Mercedes B 200 Turbo have been catching my eye, but its a little too rich for my blood.

I don't worry about anyone stealing my Echo, I expect thieves would target more expensive cars.
