What I don't get is that I thought the Yaris outperforms the Fit in 0-60????? Yet that article says the Yaris has sluggish performance while the Fit has "peppy" performance?

Interesting article, thanks for the link. And I'm not sure what the official numbers are, but I know that on the day I test drove both the Yaris and the Fit, the Fit felt no "peppier" than the Yaris at all.

The Yaris has always beat the Fit in CTO comparisons...

The 09' Fit got a bump in HP (I think to 115), maybe that's why it's "peppy".

It's interesting that the Fit's initial cost is $2300-$2900 more than the Yaris but the CTO for 5 years is only $800 more. Higher resale?
