i read an article that rated the echo the most cost-effecient car to own and operate,
good on gas, stingy on service.

You are right! The ECHO has been noted to be the most or one of the most low cost cars on the market (when it was produced), cause its "simplistic" its basic transportation, less stuff to break and also its a reliable Toyota, with one of the most reliable engines in its class, the ass kickin' 1.5ltr!

Good choice!

alexK nice choice. i'm just curious... did you get the sedan with the power package? or just the base? because you said you don't have stereo but i dunno if you have power windows/side mirrors/locks etc.

i find toyota packages weird because once you get a yaris with power package, then you get an integrated HU which is hard to get replaced with an better aftermarket one.

Here, on the S you can only add the power package and can't get the CVT (6-speed manual or 4-speed auto only) or the 6 disc indash changer. The SL comes standard with all power and the changer, You get the CVT if you opt for the non manual, and you can add the Convenience (iKey and Bluetooth), Audio (upgraded speakers and subwoofer), Sunroof, and Satellite packages... unfortunately, the Audio, Sunroof, and Satellite packages are all linked, can't get one without the other... so I figure, I'll just upgrade the speakers and put a sub in myself, then add in the XM Tuner (standard Nissan part used on ALL Nissans and Infinitis with XM) I never really have used the sunroof on my I30... so I don't figure I need it on the Versa, besides, that's just one more complication if I attempt a Carbon Fibre roof.

Here neither.

I cant get the CVT on an 1.8S.
Or the 6-CD player. Nor MP3 capability.

You need to get the 1.8 SL "Technology" package to get those features.

That's funny, all three are standard on the US SL Auto.
