But I agree don't get the options at the dealership - you can do them all later for way cheaper.

If you have over 13 grand to spend, don't even think about a fit - get a stock LB or sedan, and go on a shopping spree at microimage. :D

The facts don't support your claims.

Both the Fit and the Yaris come standard with A/C and all Fits come standard with power windows and locks.

The Fit also comes standard with a better sounding, more powerful stereo, four doors, a tach, a multi-information display, superior seating, a rear window wiper/washer, a telescoping steering wheel and a more powerful engine.

Futhermore, the Fit's automatic trans is a 5 speed, while the Yaris's is a 4 speed.

The Yaris that would come closest to the equipment level of a base Fit would be an appropriately optioned, 5 door hatch "S." The sticker on that would be $16,855 (including destination).

The Fit would still offer more equipment (as I noted above) and would sticker for $16,220 (including destination), which is $635 LESS than the Yaris!

The prices I provided are for the automatic transmission models; the price difference among the manual cars is similar.

For 80 bucks you have power locks with keyless, another 130 you have power windows, I had a fit she was great but when your looking for bang for your buck bare base Yaris and adding your own power is way way too cheap to pass up.

Then again I did see a commercial about a rather nifty looking Kia, though I know nothing about Kia the little thing was pretty bitching.

Thanks for the copy-paste from the other thread. If you get everything done at the dealership, then the yaris gets overpriced, that is correct. But give me 17 grand to spend on a fit or 17 grand on a yaris, and I'll take the yaris anyday.
