Vs......

Everyone should be aware, if they aren't, that there will be three competitive models including the Yaris. There will be the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa (which I consider highly unattractive). Lets get a conversation going on this filled with tons of input...

Suzuki Swift isn't worth a shit! Believe me, it is also produced here, in Hungary, so I heard of it quite much. It is too small, its technic is out of date, and it is even not the cheapest car in its category.

Yeah, saw the
Swift + here in Canada, don't worth talk about. (try hear one of them on the road)
Fits -- Might be the biggest competitor of them all.
Versa -- Ugggggggggggly. Even worst then a Quest.
Caliber -- Not bad at all. But then......... American car....
Focus -- Another American.... but they try to make it look cool and kit and stuff is cheap.
Wave -- Price is attractive, but not fuel economy (espeically city.Up to 9l/km)
Aveo5 -- uh........... No. (have you seen the interior?)
Rios -- Korean, need to say more?
Accent 5 -- Read Rios

At least price wise, they are all competitors.
Needless to say, I love my YARIS.

Man that car is ugly.

I agree it almost seems to fit better in the Corolla class.

But that car is just way too ugly to even think about getting in.

It does look a little better than the fit though.

good for you ilusha55, buy whatever car you want for whatever reason,
but i can vouch for myself that the reason i bought the yaris is because i thought it was an attractive little car,
and regardless of owning a yaris, it is my belief that the versa is ugly, but then again, i don't like the styling of many nissan cars, personal preference.

32 mpg? although it is 120 hp, 39 on the highway sounds alittle bit better to me


the versa sedan would probably end up selling more anyway. if someone was going for a sport hatch, they would most likely swing towards toyota or honda because of the wide aftermarket variety


oh yeah, the versa is made in mexico, so shipping would end up being quicker, but IMHO id rather have something that takes longer to get here but i can be sure of the quality

It is! Actually it was my first choice, with the the interior size as the only drawback - the main reason i seek for a roomy sub compact now.
the yaris is very roomy for a small car, my family of 3 fits in it with plenty of room to spare, but it does appear that the versa is a bigger vehicle, as some have stated, is probably in a bigger class of cars than the yaris (suzuki aerio)

the versa won't have the same fuel economy as the yaris, but will still be good.

Uh oh. I think my Vibe got kinky with someone's Yaris. Then Nissan stole it away to raise it as their very own! Those b@stards!

I usually like Nissan's. The Murano is a really nice vehicle, even with the CVT. The New altima is going to look great. The Z is on my list of sports cars to own, and the sentra looks decent too.

The new maxima is seriously ugly, and so is the versa.
