Sorry guys, I bought the Fit.
I spent countless hours on this forum since 2006 but I slowly leaned towards the fit mostly for added safety.
So I pulled the trigger on a White Fit Sport Manual. Paid 18,630 including taxes. The only two things I miss in it that Yaris has is a better gas mileage, and a cute, complete look that the Yaris has. But on the bright side, my friend in Turkey got a black 2008 Yaris after her brother kept her Fit. :) I will still be around reading this forum. It's so friendly and has so many interesting folks (something I have hard time saying about FitFreak.net. That one is full of teenagers who are into modding their cars). :) Last edited by john21031; 12-27-2009 at 01:52 PM. |

Whenever i look at the fit if i stand back and squint my eyes it looks like im looking at the honda odessy. Its like they used the same design team to build both cars.

I love momentum.

Nothing to be sorry about, it's a fantastic little car!
The only reason I'm not driving a fit now is A.) Way too expensive for what you get, B.) I don't like four doors. |

Not a bad choice. It's is a great car but certainly costs a good amount more than Yaris although does come with more standard features. $18,600 is steep for a manual sun-compact.
Nevertheless, you'll definitely enjoy the car. Fun to drive, good seats, and lot's of versatility. Quote:
Perhaps. The reason for this is that this body shape creates the most amount of interior space (outside of a pure box shape). Naturally, this will bring both cars close together in looks. Honda's primary goal with the Fit is for maximum space efficiency for a sub-compact. Hence it's name. |

Very nice car and congrats on the purchase. I do agree for that price you paid though, for the same price or a PINCH more, you could have upgraded to quite a few nice vehicles.

It's a nice little car, though. (That does look like a mini-minivan.) |

I don't like the Fit's forward pillar which blocks visibility I don't like the Fit's lack of storage compartments I don't like the Fit's asymetrical controls layout for the aircondition and stuff.. It looks half-baked like they tried to just shove controls in there without planning it out well. But hey, it's always great to have options.. There's a car out there for everybody no matter what size and shape you're looking for. |

The nameplate Jazz is used in Europe, some parts of Asia, Australia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa - while retaining the name "Fit" in Japan, China, and the Americas. |

I like the clever, but simple interior layout of the Yaris liftback, The Fit’s dashboard looks silly IMHO. |

How many did you buy? I see you have pics of a red, white, and blue one. Maybe you're just supporting the ole USA? Or is that some kind of special color changing paint?

I personally don't think the two cars are in the same genre. The Fit does appear to be a mini-minivan (a 1/2 scale Odyssey) but we own an Odyssey and it's a great van!
But I see the Fit targeting the "young family with kids" crowd more so than the Yaris, which is more of a hip, economical "commuter car." Had I not owned an Odyssey I would have probably considered the Fit, but I wanted something that got great gas mileage, wasn't as common as Civics and Neons, and had a European flare to it. Hence, the Yaris was a natural choice... |
