The Honda FIT...

[why?]

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?

[Thirty-Nine]

Actually the Yaris isn't a lot faster than the Fit. For God sakes; both cars have less than 110 hp! It's like comparing which glacier moves faster! :-)

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

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.

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]

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!

[frederick moller]

Yeah the FIT is damn ugly, and it has no inside fuel door release , for me that is important.Besides, the Yaris is one beautiful looking car, that gets better gas mileage with a 4 speed auto than the FIT with a 5 speed auto. My next car will be 99.9% a YARIS RS 4 door hatchback with the 4 speed auto.

[Yaris Revenge]

That side shot of the orange Fit looks remarkably like the Toyota Matrix, which I also find to be uncomfortably off-balance (one of the reasons I bought the Vibe instead). They both have the same weird bulge over the rear wheel, and the backward-sloping roofline that peaks at the windshield. Quite awkward. The front looks like it's straight outta' 1992.

(Yay! Bashing the Fit is fun!)

To be honest, I almost bought a Fit. I would have if it was available in a three door instead of a minivan-style five door. I like the way the front of the Fit looks and the bed-style layback of the seats definitely caught my eye. Oh well, I can still get a BJ in the Yaris. That'll hold until we get home.


Also, I hear rumors that a returning Honda CRX will be built on the Fit platform. That'll be neat to see.

i personally could go for either..
one of the main deterrents for me, was the body colored headlight bezels..
if it was black, itd be ok..
