Yaris Vs ECHO Quality - Toyota Yaris Forums

IllusionX · 12-10-2008, 11:41 AM

Actually... the yaris has a different transmission... it SHOULD be only a shorter final gear, but i have not had the chance to look deeper into this.

i've had my echo for 2 years 46k, and my yaris for a little over 2 years and 54k now. Both served me very well with out any major problems.

bronsin: let me tell you what's different....

1) now has real SEATS.. not a park bench like the echo.
2) it's a much quieter ride than the echo
3) if you are driving standard, 1st and 2nd gear is much smoother...
4) 2009 now all come with a tach (am i wrong?)
5) it's a 5 seater
6) drive by wire... there's no more throttle cable
7) no more roof antenna (for the sedan)
8) Electric power steering. It's actually full electric, so there's no more PS fluid to change anymore.
9) the yaris uses Iridium spark plugs (some echo used them, but most had standard copper plugs)

i think that's all i can tell you off the top of my head. But even if the echo is 8 years old.. i guess you still can keep it for at least 5-6 years more.. ?
