Thanks for all the replies.

The Fit also has side impact airbags and antilock brakes standard, the Yaris does not.

This is important to me. With such a small, light car, I want to feel safe. The Honda Fit seems to be a good choice for safety.

I am an environmentally minded revolutionary...I went for FE and Toyota reliability, the Yaris is cheaper too

I am also enviornmentally minded, although perhaps not a revolutionary. Originally, I was going to buy a TDI and run straight vegetable oil. But it's not easy to find a TDI wagon, and harvesting oil takes time. With my new business, I won't have that much time. The Honda Fit seemed like a good compromise, especially with hypermiling.

If it helps your business to drive a mini-wagon with an American nameplate, the Pontiac Vibe is a good choice. It's a Toyota Matrix under the skin, which means it's a Toyota Corolla drivetrain.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know whether an American nameplate will help or not. Mainly, I don't want to drive a beater any more. I am a professional, and I want to look professional.

If I had to buy a car today, it would be a Honda Fit. The back seat and the resulting storage is amazing -- it is a Tardis if there ever was one.
|
LOL. Yes, the interior of the Fit is weird. You have to get in and out of it a few times before you believe that it's possible to have so much room inside such a tiny car. And the magic seats are what finally sold me.

If I could wait a bit, I'd like the 2009 Fit even more -- especially the hybrid model that they have promised.
|
I wish I could wait, but I can't. Also, I doubt we'll see the Fit Hybrid until 2010.

I wish that Honda would sell the 1.3 liter 2009 Fit in the USA.

Me too.
