Interesting. I have 2 friends with jettas, one with a golf, one with a passat. They all love their cars. The passat owner especially. Of course, he has the turbo and it's chipped so it has like 250 horsepower plus he likes to tinker anyway.

I heard Echos didn't sell that well, which I figured was part of the reason they were rare. I do know someone with an Echo who loves it as well though, so people just hanging on to theirs could definitely be a factor.

I think the hardest part is finding manuals period, actually. The whole market is down to 15% manual from what I understand.
