So they're only interested in one time buyers and not repeat buyers... dead people don't need cars.

The Yaris doesn't come with side airbags standard in some markets...

Oh, I know, we don't have them standard here... I was just making a comment about Honda backpedaling on safety. I don't see how it could help their MPG nearly enough to justify it.

Yeah, I'm a little baffled by the idea of cutting them to gain MPG. The Yaris, with them, doesn't seem to take a big fuel economy hit.

I am not hearing negative feedback from Yaris Drivers however.

I am happy with the Yaris. I chose Yaris over all other hatch options out there, for me this was the best choice.

My neighbor ,she, drives a Honda FIT. Guess it was what ,she, wanted. It looks good on, her

I know I would enjoy either car. I like the 4 doors of the Fit and the interior options. The more I see the Fit the less I like the lines of the exterior when stock though. Throw a few body mods on and it looks hot though. Not to mention better aftermarket and engine swapability.

We have to face the facts, it's a very nice car. Price alone dictated my choice.

I did drive a Fit when they first came out in my market, I noticed that the car is really go-cart like, reminded me of when i was a kid, and went to Kart-world...anyway, I do like the car, but I didnt want to pay 16k for the sport package, plus i dont like them now, too many of them... The dealer cant hold onto these, 20 in 20 out...like in 2 days.

I also have a grudge on Honda, It seems that too many people want a Honda, cause they are the traditional race/rice car. Same thing, they all are the same, last a while, can go fast with enough upgrades...but I wanted the different of many, so Yaris was for me. Even with 2 other Black Yaris hatches in my area, I dont care...still there is 4 Fits near me, within a 10 mile area...

the new slogen of Yaris should be..:

Be Different, Fit yourself into a Yaris.



Altogether the choice is your Chris, I know one thing is for sure, that you will be truely missed here on Yarisworld, All those DIY threads, and think of the Sombraro, I will miss it most of all. I want to see more White Yaris with black badges. With that said, dont go. please...think of the children.

Leaving a Toyota for a Dodge? I don't care how fast they are, that's a HUGE down grade. Now going from a Toyota to a Honda or vice versa, that's an equal swap. Unless you get a Ridgeline, that's not even a truck, it's a joke. Sorry if you like those, but if you want a truck, make sure a get low range and a real frame.
