I test drove both the Fit and the Yaris. The Fit is nice, and you're right you do get a lot of car for the money. There was like a $4k differnce between the Honda Fit Sport and the Yaris LB I was looking @. Driving the Yaris though It feels more powerful. I know the 2 motors are the same displacement but I guess It's where the powerband is in the Yaris that makes It feel more powerful to me. Anyway I ended up getting the Yaris, I think It handles just as well as the Fit If not better. I just hate not having power windows, tachometer and door locks, that's standard on the Fit. I love my Yaris though, plus it's about 200lbs lighter I think. I just think the Fit looks too much like the Odyssey or the Matrix.
