What problems are you referring to? And where did you hear about this from?

they probably thought the mini van shape produce the best interior space...
which could be true... however, beauty has to be compromised...

True, and personally, I would need probably couple dozen of really 'STIFF' drinks for me to see Fits as cute.

well, you don't have to convince me it's a beauty...
the thing is people already associate soccer moms with mini vans...
and it's obviously proven from above posts that fit looks like mini van...
so, unless people start to associate hot studs with mini van...
fit will never get out of the mini van shadow and not to be associated with soccer moms...
but of course unless you think soccoer moms are hot... that's another story...

Maybe those who buy the Fit like to think of them as soccer MILFs

They've actually proven that beauty is not always subjective. The Golden Ratio seems to make things look better.

idk... i was on cb7tuner and posted a thing on the yaris when it first came out. Some liked it and some hated it.

the honda fit is nice because like all hondas... most parts are interchangeable. (sp?)

but personally the yaris is a lot faster than the fit. so go yaris.

How so? According to what instrumented tests?

Tha Honda Fits interior is a lot more versatile than the Yaris'. With that said...the Yaris looks better by a mile.

swng · 06-11-2006, 01:06 AM

I am starting to see the Fits in the Greater Vancouver area. They look a lot better than in pictures (I do not have an explanation). Not bad but I still like the look of the Yaris more, not because this is a Yaris board but because this is the way I feel.

eight_heads · 06-11-2006, 02:05 AM

well my parents had a Honda Odessey years ago and the Fit just reminds me too much of that from the side.... i just can't wait to get my Yaris in!

sroberts · 06-11-2006, 10:01 AM

I saw a Fit on the way to work last week and, whoa, whats up with the HUGE driver and pass. windows....and the little triangular window next to the mirrors. Just looks very awkward.

I have always had trucks or SUV's so I really do not know much about the compact car market. I wanted to get a small car just for getting me to work and back (35 Mile trip). I looked at all the compact cars with an unbiased view and I must say that the Yaris just looks better. Mabye the Fit has a more "peppy" engine, but for the purpose of hauling my butt around, I think I made the right choice. I thought the Aveo was a cool looking little car too and the price was right. But it was my second choice because the Toyota's just have a much better resale value.

Gonna be LOTS of tinted windows sold to Fit owners.

my friend finally got his fit this week after a big long wait, and i checked it out today,
ugly from the side, not so bad from the front
the passenger space is the same as the yaris, but the trunk is a fair bit deeper and i think this is due to the fact that the gas tank is under the front seats,
the magic seats are definitely a cool feature.

his is auto and it is a peppy little ride, much like the auto yaris's i have driven.

total bill for it was 23,000 compared to 17,000 (cad) for my yaris, but he has auto and 6 airbags.

i will take pictures next week sometime, is there any particular view anyone would like to see?

Yaris looks way better hands down! Of course this is coming from a Yaris forum I guess that is a give in

I know the FIT is a dated design, but the Yaris looks more athletic and aggresive/bold yet sophisticated, and the FIT is FUGLY!
