I knew someone said Honda Fit looks like a Mini Mini Van, to be honest I think it is. And this is the main reason I chose my yaris 4 days ago. Small car needs cute and fun, yaris did it really well.

If there is any car out there to hate it is the H2 and other SUV's that are never taken off road

^ Err, I own a Fit and I think it's really REALLY great. And, I haven't had any problems with it. There you go
 The Yaris and the Fit are both great... it's not like you're going to get a crappy car if you go with one or the other. |

They are both great cars, and we had a lot of fun developing on both platforms. The Yaris really appeals to a wide swath of consumers (including older drivers) who are looking at the total cost of ownership, and find that the Yaris really fits the bill with it's high amount of utility, low gas mileage, light weight, extremely low price and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The Fit is its direct competitor, but is more noticeably targeted towards the youth demographic. It has a higher price tag, but does have more interior and exterior options, as well as more airbags. The Fit also has a high amount of interior volume, safety, and low gas mileage on it's side. They are both fantastic cars and appeal to similar demographics, where the Yaris seems to be the more popular choice for commuters, and the Fit for younger drivers/new car owners. You can't really go wrong choosing either.

Packy thats a nice car! My only gripe about the FIT is the long snout nose cause its USDM regulations
 Otherwise I like it cause its a small wagon/hatch (personal preferance) Silver is a great color. What model trim did you get?? I have a co-worker who is considering the FIT, what advise would give me to pass to him?? I know you might be bias but that's why I'm asking, just your review on the FIT. Great pics and keep us update!

I was hanging out here and over at the fitfreak.net forums fairly evenly until we bought a Fit, but I thought I'd come back to see how everyone was enjoying their Yari. As much as some folks from both sides hate the other car (Yari VS Fit), in the long run they both have extremely similar guts with different sheet metal on the outside. Let me see if I can answer everyone's requests and questions  My car is an automatic (IE paddle shifters, woo!) Storm Silver Metallic Sport Fit. --Mini-review-- Our reason for getting the Fit over anything else was because of the flexible seating, the feel and finish of the interior (it's SHARP!), the standard features, the paddle shifters, and the headroom. We felt claustrophobic test-driving the Yaris sedan, since the roof of the car dips up and back. It gives it a more agressive stance, but at the cost of interior headroom. It's not that our heads hit, but we just felt more closed in. We're used to the big windows on our Subaru Forester, so the Fit feelsl like the Forester's little brother. Trunk space is surprising in the Fit, and definitely bigger than, say, the xA. I love that the Fit Sport comes standard with all the airbags, ABS, cruise, mp3 CD headunit (200w, 6-speaker), foglights, skirt, spoiler, leather steering wheel and alloy wheels. Test driving the Fit was fun, and I thought that even with three people it did great, and the steering is sharp. The Yaris was just as peppy with three people, but I didn't feel quite as confident driving it. After pricing out an xA, xB, and sedan Yaris with the same equipment, they were all extremely close in price. After our test-drive, we knew we loved the Fit. My wife's biggest gripe about the Yaris was the steering wheel, since she's used to having a leather one in the Forester. Minor gripe, but that's what sold her. It is also reassuring to read all the reviews that equally enjoyed the Fit. They're both great vehicles, and it really comes down to what you want... better exterior looks (Yaris) and more choices on options, or a bit more functionality, more standard features and better interior looks (Fit). I can agree that the Yaris looks better than the Fit. It even reminds me of a Mazda 3! Here are some more pics, as requested!

Heh, I've always liked the Aztek, except for the wheels... they always look too small for the body. Closest thing you can get to an "armored truck" look.
The Fit does look like a minivan, but I think the right body kit could probably cure it. Love the colors, particularly that orange. What really sours me toward buying one is knowing that 90% of the other Fit drivers out there will be those little ricer punks with their coffee can mufflers and poser race stickers. I want no part of that image. ~YR

The three cars we liked best when testing were the Mazda 3 sport, FIT and Yaris RS.
The mazda was the best handling and performace, best looking intrior but I felt it was incomfortable (stiff seats) and the price was pretty compared to the yaris high when you start adding in all the extras. So that pretty much ended that. So it came down to the FIT and the Yaris... I felt the Yaris was more nimble and quicker off the line and on the hwy and it felt like you were driving a car bigger then the yaris actually is. The wife could not really tell any difference. The Fit felt like I was driving a lowered mini van, inside and out it looks and feels like it. Very nice interior layout and color, Performance wise they are very close but the fit feels lazy where the yaris feels a bit more peppy. (both were automatics) The dealer pointed out about the car not yet being crash tested and even stressed how he wondered how the fuel tanks under the drivers/pass seats would fair in a side impact crash test. That also got me wondering....hmmmm For us it came down to the yaris only because the car feels and looks like a car, handles like a car and has everything we wanted and needed. As much as I love the Honda's interior the wife kept bringin up how much it looks and reminds her of a mini van. If the Yaris RS was not available I would have likely gone with the Fit. |

Oh, and the crash-test results were another reason we went with the Fit. Keep in mind these are the NHTSA results, not the IIHS.
