Fit = micro minivan As for the recalls they are like no other company. The difference now is that their recalls are more in the spotlight. If anything Chrysler and Ford on many models in the last 20 years should have had to literally recall the entire vehicle and provide full refunds. Mostly in the 80's, but depending on your age you might not be aware...and oh yeah...how about those totally awesome Chevy Cavaliers of the 90s...ish.

Honda Fit looks fugly, like a minivan imo. I heard its gas mileage is not so great on the highway, because it's not aerodynamic.

I don't know about the current Honda Fit model, but i did test drive the
1st gen. several times, I got to say I did like the looks and the practical side to it, but the driver seating was plain awkward, the engine was not very smooth at acceleration or at highway speed. When I first test drove the Yaris sedan I was impressed the driver seating was right on and it had nice firm seats, the engine was smooth on acceleration and at highway speed and it was noticeable more peppier, it just had an overall good comfortable feel to it that the Fit simply did not have. I test drove Some other makes also, but Yaris won for comfort and performance and price. Consumer Reports at least when it comes to auto reviews they are not to trust worthy, something weird about them |

After much fanfare and anticipation CR has its latest test vehicle:
Wonder how they will rate the built in air freshener?

As far as getting in and out of a vehicle, since I got my Yaris things have been a dream. Looking at the outside, you'd never realize how much room there is, of course. But I noticed a HUGE difference in getting in and out over our Avalon. That's a big thing to me, so if Consumer Reports bases anything on comfort and calls me, then the Yaris gets high marks from me for that.

Consumers Reports has out lasted their usefulness. I'm surprised they can stay in business.
