For the money, the yaris is much better. But I would drive the wheels of the echo's first, especially if you can work on them yourself.

I am planning to keep both echos and I do work on them myself. The reason I am looking for a new car is because my wife and I are expecting a baby soon and I want to get a quieter vehicle with more safety features for my wife. We also like to drive very long distance (1000-1500 miles) for vacation and I wanted something more comfortable to travel with the baby. WE also need to haul our bikes and this is why I was asking if you can fit 2 bikes in a yaris. I know you cannot in echo as it does not have folding rear seat...
