Saw a Yaris today looks good
I saw a blue Toyolet Yaris hatch today: looked better than Fit.
So subcompact would-be owners probably face this dilemma: Fit: good internals, questionable looks, high price Yaris: shitty internals, good looks, soft suspension, shitty 5sp, 4th place finish in the recent C&D test, cheap (Spaz factor???). Opinions? At almost $15k you'd think that Fit would get most of the Civic's sheetmetal. Go figure. |

Go figure. What is so shitty about the Yaris' internals and 5-speed tranny? At least the Yaris is a much better all around car than, say, the Chevy Aveo! |

The basic platform has been put through the wringer already elsewhere; only the US-specific components and the service organization are new. The Civic, though, is all new all around. |

Go figure. > Fit if you ever need to carry anything big. Yaris also good, but nowhere near as versatile. The quality of both is appropriate for the price. Jazz (Fit) has just been hailed as the most reliable car you can buy in the UK (450 surveyed and no break-downs in a year IIRC). Skippy E&OE |
