Even worse is when you just want power window and locks, Toyota forces you to buy a whole slew of other options in option package 1&2. Pricing an automatic Echo sedan with power window/locks and the required option packages that goes with it (nothing fancy), price was at just under $15k! For less than $500 more, you can get a better looking (and probably better built) and larger near equivilent optioned Corolla, and you don't have to deal with that :ghey: center instrument panel.
very true, and thats why i said reliable, *decent* and new.... i didnt add in all the opther options because they arent there..... and yes, id rather buy a corolla for a few thousand more and get all those options.... thats why you dont see too many echos, but if all you want is a new relaible car, an can only affor 11k, then the echo is for you..... not for everyone.
