Consumer Reports - Toyota Yaris Forums

i guess they all wanted a mini-minivan?

For most folks the fit may be a better value and more usefull, gotta just face the facts. That extra space, fold flat rear seats, and more standard features makes it much more appealing to the average person.

The yaris is more appealing when baseline, its much cheaper and is wonderfully simple.

"just spend 3-4k more, and get alot more!", well, yea, but at that point your talking 20-25% more $... thats like saying "just get this car thats 37500, its so much better than this car thats 30000".

I could never drive the fit, not with its current styling... but thats just me. Kitted up it looks ok, but a yaris with equivelent mods will look much better... and apparantly from the last siphon mag, walk the fit @ the track.
