05 Echo RS or 08 Yaris RS?

[tawheed]

Hey guys,

Newb here looking for a DD. Been all over the map but I've always enjoyed lightweight fun to drive cars, this will be a DD for the entire year which includes a lot of snow. I test drove an 05 Echo RS 5-door hatch with 101k kms (60k miles) and really liked it.. Now I've located an 08 Yaris RS, with only 70k kms (44k miles) for approximately the same price..

The Echo comes with winter / summer wheels and tires and a remote starter.

The Yaris has more features like power windows and mirrors.

While lurking here I did read the Yaris has an E-throttle, I've never been a fan of these - is it a major complaint in this car?

Are mods just as easily available for the Echo Hatch RS (as it was never sold in the States) and the Yaris RS?

Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated, I need (want) to make a decision in the next few days..

Thanks!
