Fits start at $14,750.

Yaris starts at $12,205. Actually, since the Fit is a 5door, we'll compare it to the 5door Yaris.

Yaris starts at $13,305.

The Yaris has a MP3/WMA player OPTIONAL.

Fit is standard.

The Fit comes with SIX AIRBAGS!!!!!! STANDARD!!!!!!

I'm not sure how much the Yaris comes with, but I'm pretty sure its two, standard.

The Fit has SO MUCH MORE OPTIONS.

And I'm preeeeeeeetttttyyyyy sure that the Fit sells better than the Yaris. Because the Fit looks better.

Come on guys. Don't kid yourselves. I love my Yaris regardless. But stop thinking its the best damn car in the world.

The Fit is a better car overall.

I'm in agreement that the Fit is a higher class of car and has better qualities overall but the fact is, is that it simply costs more so of course it has more standard features. As I stated, no one wants a base Fit which is more comparable in price. They are plain and ugly without the bigger wheels and body kit.

BTW, the Yaris has SIX AIRBAGS STANDARD.

Oh, and the Fit doesn't have more "options" it has more features. In fact, the only "option" is the Navi. Fit's only come in two packages "base" or "Sport" with auto or MT.

No one ever said the Yaris is the best car in the world but there are certainly reasons we all bought it instead of the Fit.

What was your reason?

Can't gat a fit in a 2 door either....
'09 Yaris offers 2 or 4 door hatchback, you pick!

[Kal-El]

3 options - Sedan, 3-door hatch, 5-door hatch.
Fit=one body style.

Its cheaper, and my friend worked at Toyota. I would have just as easily gotten a Fit, if he worked at Honda.

When it comes down to it, I just want a car I can race. Fit, or Yaris. I don't care either way. Thats why I'm not so objective about either. I just see it how it is.
