GOOD-BYE YARIS, HELLO FIT! - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

nsmitchell · 11-05-2008, 09:54 AM

voodoo - Were you using crusie or foot control. With Foot Control you can get better MPGs. I am using cruise control in both cars to be fair. Now I do have Michelin HydroEdge tires on my Yaris that are slightly wider than stock, so that may be affecting my MPGs. On my Yaris they are pumped to 44PSI. On my Fit I have not touched the stock tire pressure. Haven't even removed a valve stem cap. With the Fit Sports low profile tires, I don't think I'm going to inflate them over the reccomended PSI just for ride comfort. The Fit is a little rough over rough roads, but in a good way.

Good Point. My brother has a nice Craftsman digital tire gauge and I just bought a new tire pump.

that's probably what it is, my city trips are probably under 20 km round trips.

i don't have a scanguage either, but you're probably going to get a more precise reading by just crunching the numbers after filling up-

i would like to try out a scangauge to see specifically what kind of driving is giving me the best FE, but to spend a couple hundred bucks on it is not worth it even in the long run.
it would be nice to buy one as a group and give everyone a month with it to help them improve their driving, then pass it on to the next person.

I'd choose my silver egg over any other car in it's class anyday. It's small, inexpensive, good on gas, reliable, ..and surprisingly a chick magnet (wasn't expecting that, but I'm not complaining

)

nsmitchell · 11-10-2008, 09:36 AM

Yaris EPA Estimates are 29/35
Fit EPA Estimates are 28/35

1MPG off in the city... WOW! Not much difference there.

We all know these numbers are not real world, but it does mean they are close in MPGs.

i did read that while the new fit has more horsepower, the engine is more efficient now and gets better fuel economy than the previous generation despite having more power.
i'm not sure what technical changes were made to achieve this.

I believe they implemented dual-VTEC (sort of like how the Corolla has dual VVTI on both intake and exhaust sides).

. There's days I could use a catalytic converter . Especially after fast foods

I like the Fit. I like the Yaris. I also looked at the Hyundai Accent. I didn't fit in the Accent, so it's out. Next in terms of pricing is the Yaris. When I checked last week they actually had some in stock vs the Honda dealer that had the $20,000 model (ha!) on the showroom floor and *one* other. The more I look at the Yaris styling the more I like it. Can't wait to get my own.

Owning both the 2007 Yaris, and now the 2009 Phit Sport w/Navigation, and I can tell you honestly that although I do love the Yaris, the Phit is a vastly superior car in virtually every way.

I actually really like the exterior styling of the new 2door Hyundai accents. Very hot imo.

But the interior is boring and brtual IMO. i would not wanan hafta face that interior for 5+ years.

(but at that helluva good cash price of $10,000, whats to complain abt i guess? esp with that 5 year warranty too.)

I have a 2007 Hyundai Accent hatchback and it's a pretty decent car. Worse gas mileage than the Yaris (I get about 32-36 highway). The interior is boring and scuffs SO EASILY that it's annoying.

Here in Ohio they have a 20 year/200,000 mile warranty? weird.

SIPNGAS · 11-10-2008, 06:44 PM

So, why are you spelling it wrong?

Sorry, but you're on a Yaris forum..we kinda like these cars.

KCALB SIRAY · 11-10-2008, 06:46 PM
