well, the scion is decent. and the echo is... tiny, not powerful, tiny no legroom/headroom, storage room, tiny, ugly, slow, cheap looking, ugly.

but, that could be judgemental and a personal opinion.
Yes...the Echo is ugly, but tiny?not powerful?no legroom? maybe in comparisson to a Camry. But we are comparing this to a Scion xA. Not a large car. Same chassis if I'm correct. And definatly 100% the same power plant 1.5L VVT-i. So say its ugly all you want but you can't use those others as arguments not to get the Echo.

BTW I vote Scion too.:)

Yeah it is the same motor and chassis. The scion weighs like 300lbs. more but IMO its well worth it, Echo doesnt even have a tach (even on the manuals!) i got a friend with a manual echo and its got no tach. THe only bad thing about both cars is the center mounted dash.

I know that the 04 Echo doesn't have a tach, but the 05 Echo does. I just got my Echo HB 2 weeks ago, with a tach. I believe that even the 05 autos have a tach as well.
