How closely have you looked at other cars like the Fit or Versa? - Toyota Yaris Forums

As a daily driver, I want:

1, cheap (good MPG, upkeep)
2, reliable
3, at least moderately fun to drive
4, good resale value

Didn't pick Honda Fit because dealers want $4000 markup, even he told me to "ignore" that little sticker...Greedy mofos not going to earn a penny from me. Besides, I really don't like the latest Honda/Acura manual gearbox and clutch. So fun to drive is definitely out the window....

Didn't pick Versa because it's a bit boring looking for my taste...I didn't even bother to test drive one....However, it does seem like more of a "proper" car.

Picked the Yaris. Mainly because friend of mine hooked me up (12.8k out the door)...Love the clutch (compare to Hondas/Acuras), cheap, reliable, wheels all the way out in the corners (tiny overhangs = nimble)....Also, as I recently found out a feature that Toyota never advertised for the Yaris...It actually IS a chic magnet!! You have no idea how many girls telling me how cute this car is...
