Yaris HB's seem rare on Long Island, a lot of Versa's though - Toyota Yaris Forums

While I see the occasional second-gen hatchback on the road and a number of Echos (and Prius Cs) on my college campus, the third generation is like a unicorn around here--in fact, the local Toyota dealership has had only two SEs in stock since at least December. But the Fit is EVERYWHERE. I remember seeing at least one third-gen on every five-mile outing when I was visiting some relatives in southern California over the summer.

When I've bothered to check (online) the inventory of local Honda dealers over the last year or so, I've noticed they've had a steady flow of not just Fits, but manual transmission Fits.

Prisus's are very common here, lots of Rav 4's too. I did see 2 more second gen Hatches I saw white & a black one since I posted this, drove 50 miles a day too Ebony & Ivory together in perfect harmony. Interesting thing is every HB I saw was a different color.. far out huh ?
It must be the magical goddess of beauty & elegance Yaris herself blessing me from above with such an interesting array of colors to view & none repeated.
Yeah that's it, far out

oh, if it weren't for the ridiculous gearing in those manual fits, I may have bought one.

Ratio spaced too close together ? Ratio spaced too far apart ? Revs too high in 5th gear? ?????

My wife has a 2009 Honda Fit 5sp and the engine screams on the highway!

Too bad a 6-speed manual isn't available
