3rd gen still economical or beaten?
I have been looking around the internet for ages but I could not get conclusive answers. Is the Toyota Vitz/Yaris still the most economical or hast it been beaten by the Honda Fit and Mazda2?

It is still economical but has never been the most economical. That is of course you are questioning economical from a fuel efficiency perspective. Economical in terms of long term cost of ownership, then I'd have to say yes, the Yaris would be in the running for top spot.

I believe the cost to own is a lot lower than the others. Also you get a lot of car for your money. Honda fits are filled with useless features that you don't need, yet people still rave about them. Id rather pay 11 grand for a yaris then 17 grand for a fit.17 grand is like civic and camry prices. Also don't read car and drivers review of the yaris, it has a lot of mis-information.

If you're talking cost per mile including:
gas repairs/maintenance insurance purchase price Then my money is on a used Yaris - okay value new; amazing value on the used market. |

I am talking about the fuel efficiency mostly. But it would nice to talk how reliable the car is compared to its Japanese competitors. In my mind, with regards to quality I would rank them Yaris 1st, Fit 2nd and Mazda2/Demio 3rd.
However, I am still puzzled about which is the most economical of the three. |

For pure gasoline economy, the Prius would beat all of them. But that's not counting the cost of replacing the batteries when they've reached the end of their life.

A lot of it depends upon how and where you drive. I've been averaging 40-41 MPG for the last year in my manual 2015 Yaris here in Phoenix, AZ - and that's better than I was expecting to be honest.

The cost of replacing the Prius battery is exactly why I traded in my 2005 Prius for a 2014 Yaris LE
