Hey, Check out this recent Wall Street Journal review of the 2009 Phit. Apparently, the Phit is tops in its class. (Leave it to me to pick the best!)

How about comparing the international models of the car, instead of just the American version? More Yari and Jazz's (as the Fit is called overseas) are sold around the world than in the US.
Lets say we took the extremes of both: Economy: Yaris 1.0l, 1.4l diesel vs. Jazz 1.2l. Yaris wins out here, as the Jazz is not offered in diesel, and the 1.0l is much better on FE than the smallest engine Honda offers in the Fit, which is 1.3l. 1.0l gets 56mpg imperial, while the 1.3l gets 53mpg imperial. Yes, it's unfair comparing these engines, as the yaris is also offered in the 1.3l form, but I'm comparing the lowest/smallest available engines. Sport: Yaris TS 1.8l vs. Fit Sport 1.5l. 132hp vs. 117hp. Once again, comparison may seem unfair, but the comparison here is between the most powerful versions one can get. Of course, we are comparing vehicles that aren't available here, but just for arguments sake, the Yaris is available in much more trims and engine choices than the Fit is. Nevertheless, we are just comparing oranges to oranges here. These are both great, cheap, affordable economy hot hatches, made by reliable Japanese automakers, and if the new generation sucks, it sure is going to be improved in the future. |

I like the Fit. I like the Yaris. I also looked at the Hyundai Accent. I didn't fit in the Accent, so it's out. Next in terms of pricing is the Yaris. When I checked last week they actually had some in stock vs the Honda dealer that had the $20,000 model (ha!) on the showroom floor and *one* other. The more I look at the Yaris styling the more I like it. Can't wait to get my own.

Owning both the 2007 Yaris, and now the 2009 Phit Sport w/Navigation, and I can tell you honestly that although I do love the Yaris, the Phit is a vastly superior car in virtually every way.

"vastly superior car in virtually every way".. did i hear this right.. as far as i know is that no car is vastly superior to other cars, each car has something better compare to other cars.. unless its on the expensive end..
