Well, for perspective, just remember what kind of small cars were available 15 years ago or so. I had a 94 Hyundai Excel which was known for pushing the steering column into the driver's neck in a frontal crash. And virtually no small cars had any airbags at all.
So I doubt your multi-airbagged Fit is as giant a leap forward in safety from a plain jane Yaris than any modern small car is from one that's fifteen years old. Not exactly sure what point you're trying to make, but I wasn't talking about a 15 year old car. I was saying that I made a great choice in choosing the Phit. It's very space efficient, quiet, great stereo, Nav system, looks GREAT, and is the safest car in its class. I'm very pleased!

The Honda Phit (with optional ESC, which my car has) is the first "mini-car" ever to earn the IIHS's honor of TOP SAFETY PICK!
The Honda Phit truly seems to be the small car all others must be judged against. It is an amazing car!

Now, that's scientific!
If you feel that the Yaris is the safest small car on the road, that is great. More power to you. Me, I feel I made a FANTASTIC choice buying the Phit Sport. I have not read one review (in magazines or online) in which the reviewer feels the Yaris is a better car than the Phit. Also, please note, Consumer Reports does NOT recommend the Yaris. Too unstable at highway speeds. The IIHS also could not recommend the Yaris, and gave it a failing safety grade. However, if you're happy, I'm happy!
