hihihi but keep in mind that the Fit has a peppy vtec engine and don't roll like the yaris in curves and the fit has 603 liters cargo volume and the yaris only 228.
don't miss your time...

When they have the ridgeline and fit in the same thread you know what kind of taste these folks have. The ridgeline is the most inefficient and ugliest truck ever made. At least the tacoma and soon to be tundra have some sort of effective towing or hauling. You can't even fit a full size matress in the back of the ridgeline. Whats up with that?

Why the heck would i want to buy a Yaris type car that is priced closer to the civic model.

Would you buy a Yaris instead of a corolla?

Keep in mind that the base Honda Civic DX is a teaser model. It has a low low price to get suckers into the dealership. It doesnt have AC, power windows, or power locks. So in reality, the Civic model to compare would be the LX.

The Ridgeline has more than enough capability than what most truck buyers actually need and use. The Ridgeline isnt supposed to be a tacoma/tundra equivalent. Let's face it; the average truck driver hardly ever goes off road or tows anything. They only time they use the bed is when they go to Ikea or Home Depot.

And whats up the mattress in the pickup bed rubric? Lots of big ass extended cab diesel behemoths cant do the same thing either. That doesnt mean it's a bad truck.

Man the fit is expensive. 14,400 for a base model, plus taxes. That is over $2000 more than I paid for my Yaris.

If you're going to make a space comparison, at least compare it with the Yaris with the 60/40 seats installed.

No difference. The back seats would not goes flater with the 60/40 anyway and the entry will not be wider and the floor could not be lower.

Stop cheating on Fit and drive what you can afford.

Uh, no, that's the point... the 60/40's do fold flat.

For the record, here's what the 3dr liftback looks like with the 60/40 rear seat folded flat.

Lots of room.

It's one of the many things done to allow them to sell the car for $10,000 instead of $14,000. It makes it cheaper for them to produce them for a global market.
