So true. I met my wife because I was a self-proclaimed bike instructor.
I was also having a look in the Subaru WRX scene, but all it attracted were tech nerds and occasionaly, if they were lucky, their bored looking girlfriends.

In the end it is personality and mutual respect that builds relations, not good looks. But those looks have trade value, so to speak. Don't expect having a nice car to be the end of your investment in the relationship. It is just the 'here is a rich fool' opening gambit.

The Fit could be much more practical. For instance, said girl may hope you let her drive it one day, and she may not be scared out of her wits to do so.

Which brings me to the next point: wit.
Whatever you do with her, what lasts longest are the conversations. It is nice to have someone who you can talk to on a par, so if you're smart you better get a girl that is so too. If not, never mind you are doing fine

As for road trips, the Fit is bigger than the Yaris and has more practical storage possibilities (like under the folding bench on the flat floor!). The Yaris is a fine city car. The Fit goes anywhere.
