C'mon guys -- just let this be. It'll die on the vine if you don't continue to feed it.

It's kinda like Freddy Kruger, just turn your back and it will die and go away.

One would hope so, but the Fit fanboys keep bumping it up in an attempt to make them feel better than every other Yaris owner who can't afford to buy both a Yaris and a Fit.

Or doesn't want to buy a Fit.

I'm fine with my Yaris and my Accent.

Ohhh....

Just for the record, I am very happy with my Yaris. I think it is an EXTREMELY reliable car, it's pretty fun to drive, (a lil' too much road noise in the cabin, but whatever) I think it's very cute, and has excellent resale value. I hope to have it for many more years.

However, since I own one of each, I feel it's easier to compare. Getting into the 2009 Phit Sport and driving it you realize it's a step up. It's still an economy car, but if handles the road better, (I'm talking about stock only) it's quieter, it has the Nav system (which I can't live w/o, lol) more air bags, and electronic stability control, along with a 5-speed AT, which makes it quieter on the highway. If the Yaris gets an A-, the Phit is a definate A+

If you feel I'm too biased, I respectfully defer to the Wall Street Journal, ladies & gentleman...

so you wish for us to crash our YARIS ? I find this very disturbing . FEEL A CHILL IN THE AIR . Must be P.K.s mouth opening , spewing a deep freeze

.

Maybe you should consider changing your USERNAME to PKICE .

How much more did your Fit cost than the Yaris though?

bobby · 11-12-2008, 02:45 PM

Several thousand dollars more...and as I've said on here a number of times, it SHOULD be a better and more substantial automobile; It costs a lot more. (Especially the way I ordered it...I believe I have every option available on the '09 Phit).

darthbauer · 11-12-2008, 02:47 PM

My yaris out the door was around 14k. I just did a build and price on a Fit and the MSRP is a little over 19k. Some of us got the Yaris because it was and still is much cheaper than the Fit.

Don't get me wrong, I think the new Fits are bad ass little cars.

nsmitchell · 11-12-2008, 02:50 PM

Yaris = economy = cheap $$
Fit Sport = economy with lots of goodies! = a few grand more $$

Three thousand more financed it $60.00 a month. Some folks may not want to spend the extra $60.00/month.

I probably would if I could afford it.

bobby · 11-12-2008, 02:58 PM

I decided not to finance. I saved the $$ beforehand, and just paid cash. I didn't see the sense in financing. The money I'd pay in interest is money better spent eleswhere. I also keep no balances on my c/c's. I'm not rich, (far from it!) but I just don't spend more than I can afford to pay at the end of the month.

No diss to anybody who can't or won't budget this way, but I've found this system works best for me.

darthbauer · 11-12-2008, 03:00 PM

I wish I could save up that kinda cash but it would take a while with all the other bills and food for the family.
