Yes, it's a slightly bigger engine now. I have no idea about the 0-60 time, (not important to me) but the 2008 Phit was only a half-second faster than the Yaris...not exactly "smoking". Also, these tests were done on cars w/ MT...I have AT in both my 2007 Yaris and my 2009 Phit.

Thanks for passing along the review.

Marginally. Although it's longer, wider, and safer, the actual weight gain (correct me if I'm wrong) is about 50lbs.

Does the '09 Fit now have a DOHC instead of the old SOHC engine? That might help its power band to expand a bit.

DOHC now, 16-valve engine.

It's sweet.

What did your boyfriend pay for the Fit about $19400? Just too much money to compare in my book......

I'm not so sure I'm a zealot or a fanatic. I'm very very happy with my new Phit Sport, and very very happy with our new President. (After eight loooong years with the worst and most unintellectual President in US history, who wouldn't be happy with a brilliant man [soon-to-be] in office...?)

If that makes me a "fanatic", I guess I have no choice but to plead guilty, your honor.

(It seems like the rest of the world is pretty thrilled by Obama being elected, eh? Have you ever seen such celebrations all over the world?! It looked like Y2K all over again!!)

Bobby, you are ruining your rep on Yarisworld. Slow down a bit.

The Fit is awesome, no question.

The two cars are totally different though. The Yaris "feels" economy, the Fit "feels" sophisticated.

People who bought for economy are getting it in the Yaris, at least in the city.

The Fit does seem to shine brighter on the Highway MPGs.

You just sit back and enjoy all of your needless gadgets like USB Thumbdrive audio, Voice activated NAV System, Stability control, traction control, steering wheel mounted cruise and audio controls, 7 airbags, gobs of space, magic rear seats, built in MPG guage, tachometer, sport suspension, fog lights, and all that other stuff, the Yaris folks will enjoy what they have. Lots of cubbies and some other things.

I thought it had to be enabled by the ScanGuage to the tune of $125.00.
