No hate...
I own both a Fit Sport and a Yaris RS Hatchback and I have to say I am glad my Wife loves the Honda because I really LOVE my Yaris and am so not looking to anything else for quite some time.
I think the Fit folk just have Yaris envy. Cheers. |

The Mugen rear under spoiler looks really nice on the new Fit.

I got my Yaris because it got a couple more MPG than the Fit. Plus the three extra storage areas in the dash are a nice touch that the Fit could not match. Saving money is always fun too. If I had kids I would have picked the Fit over the Yaris 3 door liftback. Now that Toyota has corrected that problem, it's Yaris all the way.

Black Yaris

The fit is a nice car im not going to lie. It came with standard front and side airbag from what i remembered. It also came standard with a cd player and cruise control. The problem with the fit is that too many people have the fit where i live and its not as sexy as my 3 dr yaris.

Sorry for bumping a month old thread, but I'm seriously suffering from Fit envy.
Went to a Honda dealer yesterday (my bro. is looking for a new car) and got a chance to sit in a white Fit Sport w/ all options including the Mugen body kit w/ matching Mugen dual exhaust. The interior is so nice and much more refined compared to the Yaris LB interior. The steering wheel is awesome, especially with all the audio and bluetooth controls and steering column / wheel mounted paddle shifters. With the Yaris, I absolutely have to have a steering wheel cover on, but with the Fit I wouldn't need one. Yes, it had a $22k sticker price, but I would have gladly paid that for it had I been looking for a new car. |

I have parked beside Fits and looked at them side by side with the Yaris. Theyare nice, but no nicer. I certainly would not drop 22 grand on a fit when a Yaris can be had for under 12K.

I test drove a Fit. Really didn't like the thing... Yeah sure all the fancy gadgets and electronics on the interior are nice to have... But is it something you NEED? Probably not. We've been getting along fine without that stuff for how many years now? I think we'll manage to survive without it. Besides, if I'm gonna drop some $22k on a car, I'll be damned sure I'm getting a TDI or other diesel car instead of a subcompact.

Just stating my opinion. The Fit I was looking at was definitely a $22k car. It had the features and options / upgrades of a $22k car.

To each his own, and if you like it well and good, but some of us buy drive train and engineering, not features and upgrades. For 22k I got a Yaris, with an optional new Tacoma.

This is a Yaris forum though so these are the kinds of responses I was expecting. |

For 22k you can buy a lot more refinement as well. Put bluntly then no Fit is worth 22k. Nor is any Yaris still on a dealers lot worth that much for that matter. The people at a Honda forum would tell you to buy a well optioned Civic. I would be looking at Corollas myself, or wondering if I dared to place a bet on a new Mini M. Kindly stopspeaking disparagingly of our forum, as no one is forcing you to comment here.

"Worth" is subjective. I don't like how the Civic looks so I wouldn't spend 22k on it. I do like how the Fit looks and with all the upgrades and options (like the one I saw at the dealer), I would spend 22k on it.

Subjective is subjective. If you would chose to spend your money on a relatively inexpensive, simply engineered, unadvanced vehicle with over priced adornments, so be it.

Hmmm... Resorting to personal attacks now? I expected better from YarisWorld.

I didn't see a personal attack. Some people like the FIT, some people don't. Not worth fighting about, if you ask me. |

I really don't know you are talking about. Are you taking my opinion of a vehicle, courteously stated, as a personal attack ? I suspect you must be quite sensitive, most likely overly so.
