Yari vs. Honda Fit

[Ron]

i've heard that of the honda fit too, more of a 'lively' fun drive. but if i was looking for something fun and quick to drive, it wouldnt be an econobox. the joys of the yaris for me are: comfortable, versatile, good on gas, civil, and adequately peppy; perfect for a daily to/from work vehicle. i have yet to drive a fit, and i dont really care to. its just ugly IMO.

[stuffy]

No, you can leave now, no one wants you here.

The Yaris is the ONLY CAR IN HISTORY to win both COY awards for EUROPE and JAPAN in the same year.

Now go take your pitiful temper tantrum and leave. Go justify your horrid purchase somewhere else, we are sick of you trying to justify your mistake to us.

lol why? !

I don't know why everybody is comparing the Fit vs. Yaris. They are completely different cars IMHO. They should be comparing the Fit againist the Suzuki Aerio SX.

The Suzuki Aerio is in a different class. It has a 2.3L w/ 155hp.

I think a more apt comparison with the Fit would be the Scion xA.

I realize I'm coming into this discussion a little late, but I have to agree here. Those pics at the beginning really close the deal. How on earth is Honda promoting the Fit as a sporty little economy car??? I think the public's reaction to it may be the same as to the Scion xB:

"Oh, look! That's a cool commercial! It must be a cool car! Sure it is! Look how cool it is on TV!"

Then once the ads have stopped airing, and the pretty people and the techno beats have faded into memory, they'll be left with one helluva ugly car.

I hate marketing. It's all so hollow, always trying to sell an image....

Yaris liftback looks more like a female car than male. Cutie cutie but no room and praticaly no performance to deliver... sorry that's it.

Banfal is banned since he is clearly a troll that is trying to overcompensate for some deficiency in his life by trash talking other car owners. Thanks for reporting his posts!

hang on a second, i never said that it looking like a mini van was a bad thing, under the circumstances you stated the fit could be a heck of a deal.

just not for me.

Jeez "39", you into Zen or something????? That was almost profound! Hey, no joke intended ..... that was well said.

And can't understand those silly idiots who designed the centered dashboard... Trying to start a trend ? Why show your passenger at what speed you drive ?
Completely stupid idea.

I disagree, I LOVE the center mounted dashboard of the Yaris (not so much though of the Echo).

The Yaris's centre-mounted dash was one of the big selling points for me in the car! It looks DAMN FINE IMO!

I think its a more intuitive design.

No worries "39", he's obviously some loser "Canadiens" fan, lost because he has no Leafs or Sens websites to pollute. It never pays to attempt to reason with an idiot. When he is finished here, he'll probably flit over to the Nikonians website and badmouth the D200.

Hey, I think the guy was trolling and deserved to be banned, but don't start painting all Montrealers/Habs fans with the same brush. You're just lowering yourself to his level.

Back to topic, I'm going Yaris for two reasons: I want the sedan, not a hatch, and I loved how incredibly dependable my Echo and my parents' Tercel have been. Plus, I like the look of the Yaris, while the Fit looks... mini-minivan is about right.
