This won't be a popular reply, but I'll give it anyway.

IMHO, the ONLY Yaris to buy is a lightly equipped 3 door hatch (base model).

The "bang for the buck" of the Yaris rapidly diminishes as options are added.

The Honda Fit is a better car for those who are thinking about spending more than $13K or so. The Fit Sport is a very refined car with a lot of content (power windows, power locks, tilt and telescoping wheel, better sounding stereo, better seats, 4 doors, etc). and can be bought new for around $16K.

Completely agree with you

This is not to say that I don't enjoy my Yaris, I do, but the main reason she's in my driveway is because she's ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION. Adding a lot options kind of defeats the purpose, well to me.

That's so true.
