stay away from CR when buying ANYTHING... especially cars... pay attention to other magazines....

Go drive a Fit and see who's "minimally educated." (Hint: It's not Consumer Reports.)

The Yaris offers a lot of value in the base 3 door hatch style and when very minimally optioned. The Fit blows the Yaris away once options begin to inflate the cost of the Yaris.

Dynamically speaking, the Fit (Sport model in particular) is a much better handling car than the stock Yaris. The Fit also offers much more supportive seating, a better sounding stereo and a nicer gauge package. Many would argue that those things alone are worth the extra money, though the Fit includes even more (power windows and locks standard).

I love my Yaris, but it's not stock and the amount I've spent on improvements make me feel a tad silly.
