Dude, welcome to 2009. Hyundai is now among the best.
Yeah, they went up in quality, but price for price, I prefer a Japanese car, and you did buy a Toyota !
And when you trade both cars in a few years later, you'll lose less with a Japanese, I'm pretty sure.

I'll give you that much. Yes, I still prefer my Japanese cars but was just defending Hyundai as you basically stated that Hyundai and Kia aren't good cars.

true, it's a well known fact that the old swift is a luxury car in disguise...

I own a 2007 Yaris hatch, and a 2009 Phit with Navi. Having driven both, I can tell you that unquestionably the Phit is a better, safer, roomier, better handling car...by far.

That's all.

You paid approximately $19,500 for your Fit (auto?). How much was your Yaris again?

The Yaris was a lot less...it's also a lot less car. Less safer, less-than-steller handling, less air bags, less navi, less esc, etc.

As Toyota and Honda sales plummet during this Depression, the Phit sales increased 2.3% in February. Wonder why?

Given the price difference, it creates an unequal comparison. I quickly moved away from considering the Fit because of it's expense.
