It offers great performance for the money, probably the best out there once you get over the fact that it'* a Neon.

Put 25,000 down towards a real vehicle... :P

good call, i love those cars

Echo ... cheaper than gas.

Echo Hatchback, which is Canada-only, is good stuff when it comes to bang for the buck. A nicely-equipped version should run less than $20k Canadian, and this includes stuff like alloys, TRD suspension and exhaust. Plus, Toyota reliability, durability, and resale value to boot. Better than the Daewoo-based Aveo BS that'* going around - they're priced about the same, too.

That just might be my choice... if not, sign me up for a fully-loaded Corolla. Seriously.

i would also take a saturn ion red line...

Wow... a Top of the line 4 door ECHO is only 17,951 MSRP, although ABS is a $340 option....

Saturn ion Red line? I've never heard of it. Anybody know anything about it?

its just an Ion w/supercharged 2.2 ecotec... same as the new for '05 cobalt ss

I like the Dodge Magnum for 25k
