#4 of 5646 colors by mdrew Oct 23, 2000 (1:24 am)
I also thought the silver was cool but too common (read something about 25% of all new cars are silver! the most popular color nowadays). I liked the seafoam blue even better when I finally saw one and got one of those. Nobody has kicked sand in my face for having a "girly" car. Mongl-1: be a man: if you like it you should get it.

I like the white looks good and can be seen t night and is one of the safest colors on a car.I only pay $600 a year for full coverage with two drivers 38 and 39. Also have high coverage because I have a house and live in ct the land of bmw and mercedes . My husband is 6'3" and loves the room in this car the first one he does not have to crouch in to. My Echo has 7300 miles and had it since April love this little car.Jeanne
#6 of 5646 Dadyy long legs... :) by vocus Oct 23, 2000 (2:26 am)
I am 6'3, but tend to drive with my right leg slightly bent out to the right side. I want to be able to stretch out a little further than the Echo will allow. I also have a size 14 shoe too. If I could just get the seat moved back about an inch or so on its tracks (custom job), I would be perfect. Two of my friends have Echos (both first cars and both under 23) and love them. No complaints so far. One since April with about 6000 miles and one for about a month and 1200. Great little cars. Of course, that's no surprirse since they ARE Toyotas.

I meant to put "Daddy long legs" in the heading of my last post. That's what I get for trying to be a wise guy.
#8 of 5646 insurance -- djmick2 by crazy4disney Oct 23, 2000 (2:44 am)
Hiya -- I'm a single 34 year old female living in Houston also, and I only pay $69 a month for full coverage. I have no tickets or accidents. My insurance company is Nationwide, and it was a special "first-time car-buyers" plan. I also have discounts for airbags and an alarm, and I'm fixing to take defensive driving to lower the rate even more. Hope this helps! -gina-

My mom works in insurance in Houston. I'll ask her what you should expect and get back within a day or two.
#10 of 5646 Insurance... by vocus Oct 23, 2000 (3:23 am)
I have a 1999 Mazda Protege and my insurance for full coverage (25/50/25 limits w/$500 collision ded. & $100 comp) is $143 a month. Of course, I get a discount because my cousin (whose name is on my car as well) is over 30 and because I have renter's insurance w/State Farm as well. But $210 a month for a 30+ year old is NUTS! Check somewhere else. Even go to http://www.insweb.com or http://www.esurance.com for more info.
#11 of 5646 Ok, I have decided by mong1 Oct 23, 2000 (3:38 am)
I'm going to get the Seafoam Blue... it is real rare, the dealer said it is hard to find, I'm going to get it anyway (punish the dealer for stressing me out and push me so hard to buy from them ;p ). Does anyone have any gallery of Echo to share? I came across these site when looking for gallery: Red http://www.carweb.com/featurearticle/cw_article17.html Seafoam Blue (I don't think this is the actual color, should be close to): http://www.toyota.com/cgi-bin/top_frame.cgi?low_frame=echo%2fecho.tmpl&data_frame=%2fecho%2fintro_echo.html Gold: http://www.auho.com/autopics/html/picsToyotaEcho1.html Silver: http://www.auho.com/autopics/html/picsToyotaEcho2.html Blue: http://www.autospeed.com/C_articles/A_0665/P_1/article.html Green (the top picture): http://www.theautochannel.com/news/writers/lhill/2000echo.html I really want a picture that can be used as my desktop wallpaper... oh my god... I'm addicted to Echo o o o o))))...... PS: I'm expecting to pay $14,250 for a 4 door, 5 speed manual, with upgrade package 1 and 2, the rear spoiler, floor mat, alloy wheel... am I paying too much? What should I expect?
#12 of 5646 floor mats- mongl1 by forgetmenot2 Oct 23, 2000 (5:41 am)
I got 2 floor mats at a discount place for $10.00 total. They fit real nice and are plastic with the grooves in them to catch the water, mud, etc. I like those as you can take them and hose them down to clean um. By the way did I tell you the dark blue is really pretty and not that dark, oh ya guess I did. Well I haven`t seen the light blue and I think I would have really liked that just as much. Now go get your car. !!!!
#13 of 5646 Mong1 and Djmick2 by echoluvrst Oct 23, 2000 (6:07 am)
Mong1,      Just wondering given that your hotmail address starts with kc, if you live in the Kansas City area like I do. If you do, would love to meet with you once you get your Echo. Good luck on finding an Echo in the Seafoam Blue. Especially if you do live in Kansas City since that seems to be the rarest color. Have seen a lot of silver ones though. Originally, I was going to get a Seafoam Blue sedan, but I have decided to get a Blacksand Pearl Sedan instead. Djmick2,      I am a thirty seven year old male living in Kansas City. I have no tickets and no accidents for about ten plus years. I drive a 1993 Ford Escort Wagon with policy limits of 100k/300k/100k and low deductibles. My insurance is through American Family and I pay $62 a month. For the same limits, the insurance on my Echo is going to be about $70 a month. I think you are really getting hosed on insurance.
