This is a sad, sad day indeed for YarisWorld!

ECHOKnight2000 · 04-12-2007, 08:07 PM

So what are the reasons for this? Bigger aftermarket for the FIT, is that why?
I know what it is...its because Honda offers the paddle shifters

Anyway best of luck! Sorry to see you leaving!!

Really? You're trading it in for a Fit?

Dude, it still looks like a slammed minivan!

But hey, if you like it, do it to it homie. Your car now is so nice though...

TrancosRt · 04-13-2007, 12:13 AM

Please tell this is a joke...

What are we going to do without Chris' guidance (and DIY guides)??
:'(
And for Pete's sake... the Fit???

St_G · 04-13-2007, 12:13 AM

Hey, the Fit is a nice car, with some fatures that, if they matter for your needs, can certianly justify the extra cash. Just make sure you get the Sport. That base model is not much of a looker. And congrats!

ChinoCharles · 04-13-2007, 12:14 AM

Don't go congratulating yet. We still have time to talk him out of it.

yrsdrgn · 04-13-2007, 01:25 AM

biggest question: WHY?

Nutzoids · 04-13-2007, 01:50 AM

Yo man...whatever you decide...THANK YOU for all your guidance and help... I can safly say that my car would still be stock if it wasn't for your DIYs...

And i'm sure there are a ton of others on this site that can say the same!

Thank you and good luck... If you do go the way of the "Dark Side" please come back and let us know how your new car is...and bring us some Photos!

Yaris Revenge · 04-13-2007, 09:00 AM

Now who's gonna' wave at us while wearing a sombrero????

The Fit's interior is WAY cooler than the Yaris, but I wouldn't be caught dead in that micro-van. I actually WANTED to like it better, and just couldn't.

However, opinions are like assholes... everybody's got one. If you DO get a Fit, have fun with it!

jamal1984 · 04-13-2007, 09:04 AM

hey Chriss you don't look good on a FIT.

JDMVitz · 04-13-2007, 10:56 AM

Fit does seem to be an attractive alternative to the Yaris, especially how the aftermarket japanese tuners embrace this vehicle with aftermarket parts.

However, i heard the real life gas mileage is not what it seems. In Canada, they don't even quality for the eco-rebate, where the Yaris is qualified for $1000 cash back. There is rumour that Honda is considering taking out the side airbags (i think) to increase fuel mileage in order to qualify for the rebate, as a way of attracting more buyers.
