Honda Fit owners... Yaris haters

[Bob Dog]

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.

[Bob Dog]

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.

[IsLNdbOi]

Yes, to each his own, but some of us buy refinement and engineering. For 22k, I'd get this Fit.

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

[Bob Dog]

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.

[Bob Dog]

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.

[IsLNdbOi]

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

[Bob Dog]

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.

Granted, there are certain makes and models that I would not buy, but I understand some cars are not for all people. Yes, certain forums have more members that are a bit, how shall we say, "abrasive," but you've got to ignore those folks; at least that's what I do.

I wish that some people had a bit more respect, but that goes for just about everything, not just car forums.

However, with cars and forums, we're all auto enthusiasts. No matter if it's a V-8 or a four cylinder; an import or domestic; Honda or Toyota—we all love cars.

God to see there are others out there that share my exact same views on cars.

Although, I can't think of a single manufacturer that I wouldn't buy a car off. OK, maybe Tata or G-Wiz; but that's because of what they sell, not the badge. And I guess because neither are sold in Australia.

As for the Tiida (what they call the Versa out here), well I don't like them but they are much better than the Micra... Personally, I wouldn't buy a new Nissan; I've always been a Datsun man, always will be.

Really, though, these days it's hard to go wrong with any new Japanese car if you do your research and shop around.

I see you changed your reply from this:

So what do you mean by "I really don't know what you are talking about"? I still have the topic reply notification from that post if anyone wants confirmation that you really did post that.

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

[IsLNdbOi]

That's because he edited his post and changed it.

Yeah, it's not worth fighting about. I'm one of those that likes both the Fit and Yaris.

[Bob Dog]

Actually I did post it, for about 15 seconds, and though better of it, and corrected myself. I didn't expect that it was up long enough to be seen. I like them both as well. actually it was more like 5 seconds

[tomato]

hmmm... OK.

[ozmdd]

this is a silly argument.

[tomato]

I agree.

No point in continuing a thread devoted to discussions about hating the Yaris or hating the Fit for that matter.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but .... here goes
