GOOD-BYE YARIS, HELLO FIT! - Toyota Yaris Forums

bobby · 10-23-2008, 02:45 PM

...well, not quite. I did buy a new Honda "Phit" which I'm picking up on Saturday, 10/25/08, but the Yaris will still be in the family, so I'll still be on this forum.

I love the Yaris, but after test-driving the Phit, I was SOLD! I bought the sport model with Navigation system, in 'orange revolution metallic' which is quite beautiful. The car has 6 air-bags, ABS, electronic stability control, auto transmission, etc. Every available option. The seats are so supportive too!

Can't wait to get it...will upload photos. Here is a picture of it (from the Honda website) in the orange I chose.

Congratulations! I'm curious, do you have the ability to turn the ESC/EBD off at will?

Not my fav choice of color, but deff a nice choice of car. I havent seen one myself in person but looks very spacious from the inside and you got a great package in the sport wtih some nice features. Looking forward to seeing your pics of the interior etc. And a pic of it parked next to a yaris for size comparison would be nice.

Cheers

And congrats!

The honda is a well made car. In 3 months give us an update as to the real world MPG.

Thats like saying the Yaris looks like the Sienna.

Btw, don't let anyone bag on u for getting a Fit. Nothing wrong with it. IMO, its a better car than the Yaris, but it also costs more.

Just don't lower your car if you plan on parking that close to the curb thingy.

Well, Yaris doesn't actually look like the Sienna. The whole point is that the Yaris isn't shaped like a minivan the way the Fit is. Preferences on looks are all subjective though, so I'm glad the op enjoys the car. But coming to a Yaris forum and bragging about your Fit isn't going to get you as many compliments as you would probably like. We chose the Yaris over the Fit for a reason (or many reasons

).

Great looking car. I considered one, then priced it. :( Probably a good value feature-for-feature, but they don't offer one without all the bells and whistles (wouldnt' it be cool if you COULD get bells and whistles as an option?), and price was a huge factor in my decision to replace my CR-V. Do love Honda's, though. I've owned at least one Honda at any given time since 1992. Curious, what was the final price on that package?

Letsrock · 10-23-2008, 03:37 PM

Seperated at birth. Notice the mismatch rims on the Odyssey?

*jclo3313* · 10-23-2008, 03:49 PM

Yep!

PaidTimeOff · 10-23-2008, 04:10 PM

I saw one on the road last night. A wave of jealousy washed over me as that's a pretty nice car. Then I got home, turned around, looked at my car and then I felt great about my previous decisions. Just needed to be reminded of what I got and the price I got it for ;). Sorry, but personally, I take the stylings of the Yaris over the Fit any day of the week.

No kids, 2 door > 4 door imo

No kids 2 door> 4door :

what's with the posts with people going with the fit?
get out of here you yaris traitors! lol jk

Bredayaris · 10-23-2008, 06:20 PM

I hope you can enjoy it but for me it still looks like a minivan.

That is what is keeping me from buying the fit......

There is not one car on the road that EVERYBODY is going to like. I happen to love the looks of the Yaris hatch, and I also happen to love the looks of my new 2009 Phit Sport w/Nav. I have never owned a car which is so well-designed, safe, and so space efficient! It has room FOR DAYS! I love the "magic seats" which allow the back seats to easily flip UP, giving you all the room on the flat floor. Those Honda engineers are SMART!
