Next project

[msmemory_archive]

OK, on to the next thing. I need a new car. At least, new to me. Candidate makes and models include Toyota (Prius, Corolla, Matrix), Subaru (Forester, Outback), Chevy something, Saturn something, Honda something. Or something else I haven't thought of.

Must have: mpg comparable to Prism (~30), auto trans, CD, excellent acceleration (I do have to drive in Boston), support system convenient to my home, rear window defrost. I expect to drive it for more than 100,000 miles, so reliability is key.

I really like the different dashboard configuration on the Echo - I feel that it takes less time and effort to check my speed by flicking my eyes down / sideways at an angle than to have to look down inside the steering wheel. However, other people definitely have different opinions, so I highly suggest test driving to see what you think of it (give it a couple of minutes, because it will seem a little odd at first).

I really love the thought that went into the design of the car in general (could give more details if requested, but I don't want to force a long essay on you :) ), but like anything else, it's not right for everyone.
