It is tough. I think all Yari are better looking and I think most people who have Yari get better MPG from their cars than Fit owners, BUT with how the rear seat can be manipulated in the Fit, the Fit has more versatility re storage of large items. I can't remember the specific mileage the accord had (I want to say 788k), but it was a bit under 800k and it had to be over 780k because I remember the article saying he'd had it for an even 10 years. I did the calculation right after reading the article and I remember the total broke down to an average of a little over 1500 miles per week.

i too, was going back and forth between the fit and the yaris before i got my 2012 LB... in the end, fits just cost too damn much, and the yaris gets better gas mileage on top of being $2000 cheaper.

2k will buy a lot of fuel. My (limited) Honda experience has been much pricier service, but can't say that applies acroos the country.

I'm a Toyota guy through and through anyhow.

....also some people find that a 3-door hatchback meets their needs better than a 5-door and the Fit doesn't allow for that option.
