The Honda FIT... - Page 10 - Toyota Yaris Forums

frederick moller · 07-18-2006, 01:01 PM

Yeah,the Fit just doesn't cut it with me. I am a honda owner ('99CRV), but I am 99.9% sure I will be purchasing a '07 Yaris 4dr.hb.RS next year. To me the FIT is an UGLY car, sure it has a 5spd. auto option, but the YARIS still gets better mileage!

I am here to say that a manual yaris hatch IS faster than a manual fit (at least at freeway speeds). Some guy in my math class has one and we did several pulls on the freeway and I could routinely overtake him. This is probably due to the differences in gearing, as I assume the Fit has shorter gears than the Yaris.

I've seen these Fits. Yeah, Honda makes a great car. IMO, Honda is probably hands down the most prolific car manufacturer in the history of motoring. The Civic to this day is the most important car ever manufactured... affordable, reliable, efficient transportation brought to the masses. However, it doesn't change the fact that the Fit looks like a frickin' station wagon and you wouldn't catch me dead in one, any more than you would catch me in a minivan. I pop the hood of a Yaris and it just screams necessity. That is the coolest thing about this car... if you don't need it, be damn sure it isn't there! If the Fit had a shorter wheelbase and came in a two door, I might be listening, but it doesn't. It is what the Civic would have been... if it had been boring.

OK, I'm done venting. I don't drive a Fit, I throw one!

gets about the same mpg as a civic.

You could argue the same thing with a Yaris and Corolla. The bottom line is that the hatch configuration isnt offered for Civic; at least not in NA.

I had the opportunity to sit inside a fit during a local s2000 meet. The interior was far better and was very appealing. You can tell the owner spent extra $$$ for the fit. It was tricked out with springs, HIDs and yellow fogs. The guy bought it for 15xxx! IMO it was alot of car for the money.

Pretty sure Skunk2 are the ones that said this. Skunk2 is a big Honda tuner, so hearing them say this on Street Tuner Challenge was kinda funny.

i looked at the fit when i was looking for a yaris and no one had one. i think it is terrible looking. i prefer both the yaris and my gf's aveo hatchback to it. it is just ugly...i think it has to do with those headlights but im not sure.

what do people think of the nissan versa?

I'm not too fond of the Nissan Versa, its alright, I'm partial to it...if they changed the front then yeah it would be more appealing (IMO). Although I think it insults sub-compacts cause its the size or very close to a compact, but claims it competes with the FIT, Yaris etc.?? I don't know! It certainly doesn't get as good gas milage-sort of close. Enough of that, that's for a different thread.

That red FIT I hit (not to mention the ladies in front of the Yaris-shallow I know), I think that color looks good, the JDM spec FIT is better or an improvement over the USDM version (IMO).

Chaad32 · 07-27-2006, 07:05 PM

The fit is one fugly car....

Chaad32 · 07-27-2006, 07:05 PM

Looks like a small mini-van.

Sp33dY · 07-27-2006, 07:52 PM

yup. the JDM spec FIT is way better than the USDM IMO. but same goes for the Yaris as well...we always get watered down crap....

And again, WHY THE F* DON'T THEY EVER TEST THE YARIS HB???

SEaton · 07-30-2006, 07:23 PM

I can't believe some of your posts guys. HONDAS ARE GREAT CARS, and so are Toyotas. The Fit looks fine. As they say in Spain "Sobre los gustos no hay nada escrito"

SEaton · 07-30-2006, 07:24 PM

If there is any car out there to hate it is the H2 and other SUV's that are never taken off road
