Go with the civic and i'll explain why
The echo's havent been in production as long as the Civics have. When a car first enters the market for the first time (or first few years) you want to stay clear from it because if they decide to stop production on the car parts for it will skyrocket.
Next is the North American car companies VS European/Asian car companies... There is NO comparison between them and NA looses. I know civics which have lasted past 300k as long as you take care of it...i'd love to see a Ford do that :P
Parts and service
You'll be more likely to find parts used/new in the future when its time to start fixing shit on it with a Civic than you would with a Echo, just think how many of them are out there.
HOWEVER, if you're "leasing" with no intention of actually buying the car when the lease is done then it'll make no difference and i would go with the one you'd have more fun in!
