Holly, I don't have a double standard. Not everyone is looking for the same thing, or what I'm interested in, and I recognize that.
I DO think Toyotas are generally pretty boring appliances. They work well, but are kind of dull. That said, at this price point the Echo is about as funky and fun as they come. The engine is pretty good! Didn't say I was against Echo at all.
I happen to love the Polo. It has big car features and feel in a small package. I don't necessarily want the cheapest car, I want the car that feels solid and has what I want with a quality feel, and the Polo fits that bill nicely. For me. Unfortunately, we don't have the Polo in Canada.
Where are you typing from? Austrailia? We don't have the same models or engines you do. Initially thought you were moving here with $20,000AUD to spend.
