^^ Well said . I like the fit and have checked out "fitfreak" a few time and there are some really nice "stanced" and "jdm" fits on the forum . I got a yaris to be different , everyone has a honda and its just kinda "blah" imo . I've also had both of my hondas stolen so i'm not really tring to feel that pain again

It just come down to interweb haters, bottom line...

Kioshi · 08-04-2009, 09:55 PM

I agree w/ Charles....^^^

BUT do realize not ALL honda peeps are haters. My friend w/ a s2000 track ready gives me props for my little Vitz as well as a random Accord guy i met w/ a fixed up 2001 coupe~

I dont like Fit for several reasons, but i keep my mouth shut (thats why i have my sig do all the talking lol)...

And tomato, you're a good yaris forum member :)

You traded your Matrix xrs for the Yaris? wow. IMO the Matrix XRS is a really cool car., and I was really tempted to do the opposite trade in the first 6 weeks I owned the Yaris. I've settled down, now

Hope you don't miss your Matrix too much.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-05-2009, 12:09 AM

So you own a Fit? Anywho, welcome to YW. hahaha, how every you want to say the plural. I like to say Yarii tho.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-05-2009, 12:30 AM

Oh, hahahaha. What kind of Jetta do you have? TDI, 1.8T, etc? You can always sell it and get an econobox, hehehe.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-05-2009, 12:59 AM

hahah, I had an MKIII GTI 2.0, so I know what you mean. hahaha.

RacerFreakXXX · 08-05-2009, 01:49 AM

I find this so funny, it reminds me of all my friends(all own honda civics). They all gave me crap for buying a yaris and not a fit. They even hated when I had a 350z. I think it's just the love of a honda. I personally love honda but find everything overpriced for what I want out of a car. I would choose the 4dr fit over the 4dr yaris any day of the week for looks but I think the 3dr or the sedan look better imo. Again stating it's all based on opinion. I even drove an 05 si hatch and hated how it felt compared to the yaris.

I feel the fit finds a special place in my heart and should with every mico car lover out there. Same goes for the yaris, and honestly the fit has more to offer in luxary than the yaris does. Unless you were one of the lucky few who got a yaris with an auto package and especially with an s version. You would think the yaris would come standard with auto windows and locks and a tach, rofl.

I don't pay attention to other forums' opinions about the Yaris, or other drivers whom will give a smirk at the sight of my modded Yaris; I can't blame them for it, and I bet if we had a conversation about it they might become enlightened...

If I could, I'd have a subcompact garage, with a Yaris, a Fit, a 1st Gen xB, a Cube, and maybe even a Fiesta...

Cheers

jealous?

SHWING!

I want so much to like the Fit... Good reviews, and better standard features... But all I can see is minivan. The windshield seems too be at an awkward angle, the back end is flat, the nose is so long, and the body work is all flat... It just isn't a good looking car to me. Sometimes after I get out of my Yaris, I find myself looking back at it, admiring how pretty it is... I'm not trying to bash Fit owners in any way, but I just don't see how they can admire it so much...

Zaphod · 08-05-2009, 08:40 AM

Yeah, a slightly sporty subcompact that looks like a mini-van, gets fewer MPG and costs more. Where does that line start?

If I was going to overpay for a subcompact, I'd consider a mini cooper. And then I would be dreaming about a Boxter. Then I'd come back down to earth and start considering a Solstice (man you can find some deals on those these days). Then I'd realize that I have more cargo capacity on my Harley (with two passengers), and I'd go right back to the Yaris :)

Anyone have any idea to why this is? It got to the point on the forum where fit owners were so upset over The yaris being the #1 subcompact in initial quality according to one reviewer ( I don't remeber which) that fit owners passed it off as Toyota paying off the reviewers....

So why all the tension from the Honda guys?

On a side note, I'm really glad that this forum is focused on the yaris and getting the best out of our cars rather than bashing the competitors...

It has to do with self-identity. Immature lemmings who use material possessions to establish their sense of identity are almost always driven to feel harsh animosity toward any strong opposing presence that seems in some way undermine that sense of identity.

gokartride · 08-05-2009, 11:50 AM

I have definite reasons why I did not want a Fit, and definite reason why I chose a Yaris. Now, how to talk about those??? Not sure it is even possible w/o coming off as a hater, even it my intentions are otherwise. As soon as you start down that road, as soon as distinctions start getting made, someone somewhere is going to be offended and (generally) the whole thing unravels from there. Now, there are certainly diplomatic terms and non-diplomatic terms, true, but some will appreciate these and some will not. It's too bad really, as the distinctions that guide our choices are very real and potentially useful for future owners.

I wanted a two-door hatch and like Yaris styling and manuverability (small turning radius).

eric81 · 08-05-2009, 11:50 AM

I HATE Fits! Stupid Nintendo and their stupid Wii! Makes me feel lazy and fat. My Wii Fit character is rather round compared to how I look. I find this to be insulting. So, yes, I hate Fit!

WOW! I think you've nailed it! I don't think it could be put any better than that.

Of course that's exactly the idea a companies marketing dept is there to feed! Well said!
