Sorry guys, I bought the Fit.

[Kal-El]

Not a bad choice. It's is a great car but certainly costs a good amount more than Yaris although does come with more standard features. $18,600 is steep for a manual sun-compact.

Nevertheless, you'll definitely enjoy the car. Fun to drive, good seats, and lot's of versatility.

So I pulled the trigger on a White Fit Sport Manual. Paid 18,630 including taxes.

As for safety, now the Yaris has standard side airbags and ABS, I wouldn't consider the Fit to be safer. Maybe just by a hair. This shouldn't have been a primary reason for choosing the Fit.

Perhaps. The reason for this is that this body shape creates the most amount of interior space (outside of a pure box shape). Naturally, this will bring both cars close together in looks. Honda's primary goal with the Fit is for maximum space efficiency for a sub-compact. Hence it's name.
