Well, the Thai models have both the cool split/flat folding/sliding seats and four door liftbacks. I can't comment on the "agile" suspension, as I put aftermarket wheels on mine from day one, and it goes around corners just fine. Although I only drove about 10 miles on the stock rubber, I do have to admit that it was nowhere near as behaved/controlled in OEM config.

IMHO the Yaris LB is hands-down better than the Honda Jazz/Fit in every way - otherwise I would've bought one of them instead, naturally

I meant how the Fit seats fold like four different ways. It's a cool thing, and would have to count in the Fit's favor if I were writing a review or comparison, but made no real difference to me as a consumer since 99% of the time, I'm just carrying myself to and from work.
