A Civic (4 door) wagon or (2 door) hatch would probably be the coolest car made today (in it's own catagory of course).

I loved the Civic Si Hatchbacks! I wanted one so bad...

I've owned 2 Civic Hatchbacks: 1988 Civic and a 1993 Civic VX. I loved them both very much!
I also owned a 1996 Civic HX CVT. I loved that car too.

I would say the answer to an MR2 would be the Del Sol VTech. I had a 1993 Del Sol Si and it was just the best car I've ever driven. In the summer it was that much better as I could go topless in less than 30 seconds. I would love it if Honda would remake the Del Sol as a hybrid.

The Fit and Yaris LB is a good comparison, but you can't compare a Civic to a Yaris Sedan. The Civic will mop the floor with a Yaris sedan, plus the Civic costs more and basically outclasses the Yaris.

The Civic and Corolla are in the same class.

Between my wife and me, we've owned eight Hondas: a '79 Civic, a '97 and '90 CRX, a '91 DX hatch, 1998 Civic EX coupe, 1998 Civic EX sedan (still have), a '98 Prelude SH, and a '00 hatch -- all were great cars.

The Yaris is my second Toyota product. I had an '05 xB, which I loved until the clutch crapped out on it. I traded it in on my Yaris, which has been great thus far.

Agreed. My friends went to Greece last summer and were ready to become diplomats so they could bring over a Civic hatch.

I agree, the Del Sol is a good match for the MR2. I recently sold my `85 CRX Si but I still have my `85 MR2.

Ditto.

And similar in price (note: i was never looking at the yaris RS or the fit sport topline models; and i was only ever looking at the 5door yaris too).

Plus them being in the same class (sub-compact) and all, with nearly same HP, torque, fuel efficiency, etc. etc. (even more so back in 07, before the new 09 fits came up w/ beefed up specs and offerings standard/available on it)

Because they don't make a civic hatchback anymore, the FIT is its replacement. In fact, I think it's the smallest Honda in the US.

I almost bought a used Civic SI, but at the last minute I opted for the Yaris instead because the SI owner wanted as much money for his 9 year old Civic as the dealer for a couple years old Yaris, so I went with the newer car.

I owned a Honda Civic first gen. for a while, then got a 1987 CRX which I kept for a long time, until about 2 weeks ago. Hondas are good cars!!!

yaris-me · 02-26-2009, 03:50 AM

I've never owned a Honda, just Toyota's and Nissan's. When I needed a car I didn't consider the Fit as equivalent to the Yaris. I never thought to compare. After I bought the Yaris, I became aware of the comparison. They are both great cars, but....................the Yaris is better!

Dorkinheimer · 02-26-2009, 09:37 PM

Be glad that people comare the Yaris to another good car, and not a Hundai or Kia...

beaglemobile · 02-26-2009, 11:09 PM

Another Civic hatchback lover here. I looked at several used ones before getting a new Yaris, in fact.

Anyone remember the Honda Accord station wagon? Or for that matter, the Accord hatchback? I saw a guy a few weeks ago with one of the HBs in mint condition.

I sure do! We had a Honda Accord HB before I got my first Honda, a used Civic first gen. I drove that thing to the ground. I saw an old Accord HB on Craigslist about a month ago, also mint condition, despite a lot of miles.

Agreed... and by all accounts that new Genesis coupe is looking to become one heck of an enthusiast car... Nissan and Toyota/Subaru couldn't get off their asses to build the next-gen cheap RWD coupe, now Hyundai's beat them to it!

Tamago · 02-27-2009, 01:06 AM

why does everyone compare the yaris to the suzuki swift, that's the one i want to know..

eTiMaGo · 02-27-2009, 01:10 AM

true, it's a well known fact that the old swift is a luxury car in disguise...
