That Yaris options package makes it equally equipped with the fit.

On both of them the only other things were floormats and a security system. Both of which I would not buy a car without.

They come down to the same price.

Honda Fit or Toyota Yaris sedan?

I work for Honda so my opinion is biased.

The Fit's $99 carpet mats... why not spring the extra $10 for the rubberized all-weather ones? I grabbed them when I picked the car up the day after.

Edmunds didn't like the Yaris much, iirc. I didn't like the exterior Yaris looks, though one of my friends disagrees with me there. Test drive the both! Harass the salespeople!

:lol2

Well, I went a test drove each one. The fit is the winner. The yaris is way too cheap feeling of a car. The interior plastics are made for the $12k base model, not the $15k moderately equipped model. The center guages through me off, and my girlfriend says she hates its. I dont mind it, just still weird.

The fit has a better interior and a better engine. It doesn't pull as hard all the way towards the end, like the yaris does, but its low end grunt is pretty nice. And I had a huge salesman. He is like 6' 6" tall and probably near or over 300lbs :wow

i was pretty impressed by the fit. Especially since all it comes with and and it has paddle shifters

fit by a long shot.
even over the yaris 3 door.

if i was going for a 4 door sedan auto i'd get a civic dx for that price.

The yaris is way too cheap feeling of a car.

*gasp!* Too cheap? Isn't that a little bit too much? I test drove Yaris 5 dr, and the quality is there, the interior is more upscale than the Fit (Jazz here). But the center gauge and the overall egg shape exterior threw me off, the extra body kit also a little bit too silly-car (Celica) for my taste.

However, the Fit got my pick for its crazy handling, cave-like cargo area (especially for the magic seat), zippy engine and the "chic" paddle shifter.

I like the look of the fit, what is the HP?

that's the same for me......
fit/jazz has bigger lugage room than a yaris or even swift......
i can even sleep in my car with the back seat folded.......
thehehehe...........

 

[742]

fit/jazz is better!!!

i think i`ll choose the fit, and i prefer the vtec, than the i-dsi engine...
you know,, i have a automatic cvt jazz vtec. I had a race with yaris a/t, at the start, it accelerate same, but after 60km/h i won!! My friends say, that jazz had a better handling.. and i agreed... In indonesia, Jazz(fit) had many rivals:
1. Toyota Yaris Hatch 1.5(110bhp)
2. Hyundai getz 1.4(80+hp)
3. Suzuki Swift 1.5(110hp)
4. Kia Pride 1.4 (97hp)
5.Suzuki Aerio 1.5(110hp)

and the winner is.... Jazz/fit (it is the same right???)
Oh yeah,with my car, i defeat this cars in highway: (i don`t know whether they fully accelerated or not, but i smoked them...hehehe..)
Camry 2.4
318i,320i,(the <2500cc)
getz,aerio,baleno...so many other cars...i forgot..
Ahh i love my jazz...

(i changed the air filter with k&n extreme, and change ny crankshaft pulley with the lightweight from maximum velocity...) It runs, better, and i easily reach 180km/h in my village road...(you, don`t have any idea how hard to find the empty, wide, long, and smooth road in indonesia)

Suzuki Aerio has a 2.3l 155hp motor. The premium package has more options, more room, and is only $15,200.

 

[antwn_5k]

fit :w00t

 

[cam043]

hello, VTEC! Honda Fit for the win

 

[flyingtoaster]

IMO, you should get a nice used car.

Suzuki Aerio has a 2.3l 155hp motor. The premium package has more options, more room, and is only $15,200.

All the Suzuki Aeros I've seen have jacked up bumpers and side moldings and missing hubcaps. I've even seen some with fading paint. It is Jap scrap if you ask me.

 

[Nightstalker]

The Suzuki Aeros use a chain driven setup.. thats for bikes, NOT cars..

Chain driven?

 

[Nightstalker]

Kinda like a motorcycle.. or at least thats what the guy at the dealership was telling me.. I was actually looking at a used integra they had but we took one out for a test drive and completely beat the shit out of it.. the digital dash was kinda cool.. but its sure not a honda I can tell you that much.

 

[i-dsi power]

you, don`t have any idea how hard to find the empty, wide, long, and smooth road in indonesia)

hmm..... i don't know such things, i would prefer a simple highway... maybe the outer jakarta highways are empty enough to test your feel about your own car.

when i was been living in jakarta, i usually take a BSD-Pondok indah highway to get my feel with high speed and a little up and down cornering.

i've slipped my car once in the hard rain on wy way home from karawaci but nothing happened since the highway are empty enough.

i've always like the long curving brige on that highway.
because it's an easy curve at the first of the corner and it made a medium curve at the end of the bridge.
so i always check my speed everytime i cross that way.
i want to be faster and faster at that corner.

but.... don't try too hard in the rain condition since there are much amount of water that makes a small "river" on the highway... that's why i've lost my grip once...

(ooohhh i missed that kind of feeling here.....) ㅠㅠ

 

[Fit22yojimbo]

Honda Fit for sure. Eventually, I've made a shortlist of Fit, Yaris, and Spark based on this write-up, but eventually went with the Fit due to fuel economy, better interior flexibility, and overall value.
