Yaris vs. Fit thread
most of you know where i stand, and if you don't all you have to do is look at my garage to see what my preferences, interests and uses for the cars are.
also understand that when i take my opinion as absolute truth, i am joking. i picked the fit for a couple reasons. namely, utility, aesthetic appeal, and honda is better than toyota. |
Toyota is cheaper and gets better gas mileage.

i will admit, i wish honda could squeeze some more efficiency out of the fit engine. 33-38mpg seems a little weak how come you are getting trash mpg with yours? how many miles do you have now? |

Also, most of my driving is short trips to pick up the kid from school, so you can see how the combination of those two would kick my car's butt. |
yeah the fit has 5star safety the yaris has 4 star idk if that matters to some people. i wold get the yaris

I now have 7000 miles, after 7 months, on my Yaris 5 speed hatchback. Not a problem in 7 months, and an excellent 44.3mpg (90 day average). I drive less than 5% highway. I will be averaging 46 in the near future. I think it is an excellent car for me, now that my children are grown, and living on their own. Love my Scanguage II, great product.
If Honda offered a car just like this, I would have bought the Honda! I have owned a Honda Civic hatchback, and a Honda CRX, both great cars. |
I don't know the actual cD numbers... but just from inspection, the yaris appears to have a bit of an advantage... I don't have anything against either mfr. but, from a marketing standpoint, the Yaris is more of my demographic. That really shouldn't matter - but I'm just saying it :D

1) It's a four door. Try getting a 4 year old in the back seat of a two door. 2) Honda - I love my hondas 3) I was under the impression that the difference was minimal between the Yaris and the Fit. My impression was incorrect. The Fit ended up costing me more than I wanted to spend, and the MPG is much worse than I expected. If I could do it over I'd buy a used Prius, Civic Hybrid, or just a slightly used Civic for a lot less. |
When I was car shopping it was a tough choice between the Fit and Yaris. I slightly prefered the Fit because it had 4 doors and I liked the 60/40 seats that came standard, however the price kept me from buying it. I was able to get invoice price on the Yaris and I just couldn't bring myself to spend the extra money on the Fit when I felt that they were both great small cars. After almost 2 months I'm happy with my choice, I love my Yaris.

Perhaps it goes back to the advertised demographic? The Fit was advertised "is Go" while the yaris was advertised as "don't break the bank - don't eat lots of gas" - even though in the yaris commercial, it broke the piggy bank :p If I had to pick (price not being an option) - I'd probably go for the Yaris. Mostly because I have always driven a sedan or wagon... Just to change things up :) |
