Thanks everyone for your your replies.
I got the white sport with manual transmission.
I agree with the poster who said it's a bit steep for a subcompact, and California's 9.25% sales tax and high registrations fees are not helping the price either.
So from financial point of view I indeed took a plunge, but I have been thrifty and cheap for so long that I decided to pay the price this time. (Have never taken any of my cars for service, always repaired them on my own, often with used parts. Used to drive 50$ rust buckets, and a bicycle for 4 yrs while in college.
It is indeed like a little minivan, but the suspension makes you forget about it when you drive.
I am not a big fan of the dashboard design. The visors are indeed very unusable but i just made an extender from a leather/paper-like college theses books which I have a lot laying around.
The spark plugs luckily do not need replacement until 100K, as they are iridium. Of course I will be replacing them earlier.
The fit overall and especially its wheel are in high demand among thieves. This keeps me worried when I sleep at night and it is parked on the street in LA in a sketchy neighborhood. I installed 3 sets of wheel locks though. (two gorilla locks and one OEM set from honda).
Well in the end, Yaris and Fit are basically brothers. They are both subcompact economical cars which should not be competing with each other, but together going against larger and thirstier gas guzzling SUVs.
By the way, the Fit was my dream car, so even thought I could afford other cars, I just don't need anything else.
I love the gas mileage of this motor, the versatility of the interior, the driving experience, and the expected honda reliability.
Seeing Yarii around still gives me warm and fuzzy feelings and respect for their drivers.
