We are going to pick up the car later today. 32900 km, Winter Grey Metallic, 1 month left on the factory warranty. We've been Toyota fans since our first Echo Sedan 2003 Manual Trans. We couldn't bear the thought of downgrading in fuel efficiency. Looking forward to our first little 3 hr road trip to the parents/in laws for the long weekend! Paid just under 20K including taxes, just under the book value according to a few websites. Was on a Chevy lot for months...

Thanks, I've been doing a little bit of P + G, engine off and on coasting with the Echo, This will be a bit different see.
Yup, no more turning the key to shut down; the engine shuts down at idle, light load, low speed, you name it.
Oooh! That was the color I almost bought Congrats on your purchase, you are going to look back and wonder why you didnt buy a Prius a long time ago!
Hi All, Already had the 16ft canoe on top, 100 kms of gravel roads (almost lost the right rear wheel spat!) and still staying below 5/100 from what I can see. Left it it ECO and kept the acceleration slow. I like how it handles the gravel, a bit noisier with stones in the wheel wells, nice and solid with the mass and longer/wider wheelbase (compared to an Echo!). Should have taken a picture...
