When you spend 12-14,000 on a car... the difference in payment if you go up to a 14-17,000car is totally justified by the immensely better cars sold for only a little bit more - and features you'd pay extra for on Yaris is standard on all other cars.

What features are you talking about? I think certain safety features should be required on all cars e.g. side air bags, ABS, ESC, defrosting side mirrors (premium option?), projector lights (premium option?) My 2008 model doesn't have any of these but I know the 2010 has side air bags, ABS, and ESC on the base model.

Features for convenience like cruise control, power windows, power locks, etc. are nice to have and it's built into the Fit but not on the Yaris by the base model. Built-in GPS, bluetooth, and satellite options are nice to have but something most people don't need as standard equipment.
