Toyota Yaris is better. Why? Simplicity. I am an Automotive Technician and the first thing I look in a car is How easy is to get it fixed if something goes wrong. How easy is to change an Air Filter, Oil Change, Starter, Radiator, Exhaust System, space or room to work on the Engine; Less Electrical Parts, etc. Most of the people buy cars for the look but when repairs come they cry with the cost. I know Toyota does not have better Suspension or better Interior but more money in my pockets make me happier. Simplicity best description of Toyota.
Bruce Lopez The Fit IS a simplistic car. The Yaris just thinks it can sell by keeping itself in the stone ages. I'm sorry, but 4 speed automatics that make rough shifts and a almost 20% less fuel economy rating comparing the the competition is not going to cut it these days. Toyota is lazy with its cars that it sells the least of.
Bruce Lopez Yup! They also don't adopt new technology very quickly. They'll be the last to do small-displacement turbo engines, even though that's where the industry seems to be headed. (Mazda another exception)
toronto97 yeah so true, Toyota just tries to keep their cars the cheapest. But when you're talking about the difference from a Honda or Mazda, the price is marginal when you are talking about the vast amount of features available to Hondas and Mazdas that Toyota won't give you for a couple thousand less. And as for mazda, putting a 2.5l gas guzzler for a 4cylinder in a compact car won't make me happy, a 2.0l with a turbo is way better cuz the fuel eco and even more HP.
My GF has an 08 Yaris with 230,000 miles on it & it runs like I just bought it new. Toyota is RELIABLE & SIMPLE. People who are buying subcompact cars are NOT looking for a sport car anyway.
Only a young person would complain about a 4 speed automatic, comparing to other cars which have "twice the number of gears!". You know what often kills older cars? A failed transmission. Which do you think would be more reliable - a bullet proof 4 speed or a "new, improved" 8 speed?
Exactly and the u340e in the yaris is one of the most reliable ones toyota has ever made. Only real issue is the trans temp sensor acting up but I suspect that won’t happen if you change the fluid regularly
heres why i love toyota yaris's: for one, my company uses one as a delivery vehicle. Its the one vehicle we have that has never had to have major work, all the chevys and other ones have have had engine swaps, transmissions replaced, blown head gaskets expensive repairs.....out of 300 thousand miles on our yaris we have only had to change the serpentine belt and just now changed the alternator of course brake pads, oil changes thru the years......but nothing major its still a tank of a car going strong and saving gas and shop visits......also on snow and ice nothing beats it! i was driving on roads with pure ice last year it was the only vehicle ive ever drove that ice was zero problem. it did not spin out, i didnot lose any control i felt like i dominated that scary ice. Just such a good car. Im going to be trading my car in today and get me a 2015 yaris so im super happy about it. Toyotas you just cant beat em!
At least Toyota leave its doors open for customers that just want a simple reliable car with low tag price. People complaint about 4 speed transmission or the lack of turbo, but is not Toyota emphasis. Toyota makes cars for people that just want a car to move to one place to other. I guess thats why we have different makes and models to meet consumer demands. People want faster cars or better technology but you will pay the price. And for the person said Fit is simplistic, open the Honda Fit's hood and try to get your hand around the engine.
Bruce r we the only ppl c why toyota is king.a 2008 vitz r yaris cost 1.1mi.. in jamaica.honda same year new price ha ha a joke thonda dnt hold a value
I just bought a 2015 Yaris L with 79k miles from CarMax... I'm a huge Honda fan but I'm already in love with my little yota!!! I am old school and I'm loving the simplicity (less is more for me) it absolutely runs flawlessly and I just look under the hood and I know I can work on it when it starts getting older
I'm at the point in my life where I could give a shit what I look like or what Image is needed to project...I need a reliable, cheap to maintain and run car that will last me 300,000 miles or more and give me over 35 MPG on regular gas. Cars are depreciating assets, I'm not going to blow big bucks on something to outdo the neighbor or show off to anyone. All I need is something to drive to the grocery store or to take a weekend trip with. If I need to haul something, I have a 20 year old pickup truck that will take up the slack. The Yaris fills the bill for me.
This. I’ve had some sports cars and a tundra. One of my cars made 650hp. While it was fun to drive I had problems with it and I got over spending the money to keep it running. Tundra is a great truck I love it but gas killer lol. I recently bought a 2015 Yaris with 55K miles for $8K and I love this thing. It’s so easy to park ANYWHERE in Los Angeles, power is fine for merging on freeways, and it’s comfortable for my 60 mile work commute every day. Thanks Toyota. I’ll always stick with Toyota!!
I wanna know more, please explain. I am a manual driver here in the US. People make fun of me for purchasing a Fit but they immediately shut up as soon as they see its a manual haha.
"It's better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow." I owned a 2008 Fit Sport, brand new in black, with a manual transmission. Same thing happened to me. People would make jokes about my car, but I made fun of them for driving automatics. Manuals give more control. You decide how long to stay in each gear. You save around 50 lbs on average. Cheaper maintenance/replacement parts. My favorite part of driving stick is, ironically, the fact that driving a stick in a country where almost nobody can do it, is a sort of security, and a badge of pride. Plus it gives me something to do so I don't talk/text on the phone or something equally foolish.
Thank you for that wonderful quote, you are my Hero of the day. I exactly feel the same way, a badge of pride, security and good maintenance. I feel like the fit looks like a kitten to most people but its actually a tiger inside.
Toyota is about simplistic designs, no nonsense and bulletproof reliability, cheap to run and maintain. Any mechanics will say Toyota is the easiest to fix and parts are cheap. On the other hand, Honda just as reliable and engine are bulletproof. However, Honda designs are amazing but the costs of their parts are expensive compared with Toyota.
Yaris is the way to go if you are buying an economy hatch because that is exactly what the yaris is. More simple, less maintenance than the fit or any of its competitors and will last the longest.
Thank you so much for drive in real world road and giving us real world MPG. Most Car reviewer drive in the boonie with no stop and go traffic. 90% of use don't drive like that in every day driving. Two thumbs for you guys.
The Yaris' interior is super nice. Simple and elegant. Why did he make such a big deal about it? It's as if he has nothing else to say. And what was he expecting? He doesn't even have an argument. Dude needs to quit complaining.
I love the fit. I just test drove one a couple days ago and I loved it. The car was really comfy to drive fun and zippy as well it had everything a person could need in a car. The only thing it didn't do is spoon feed me witch I'm quite fine with that.. Thx honda for making a affordable car fun and roomy. I'm considering buying it now.
Read above comment from a mechanic where he says working on engines the Yaris is easier to get your hands around, whereas the Fit it's a tighter space. Which equates to more hours worked on, meaning the mechanic gets paid more. lol

The Honda Fit does 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, quicker than the vast majority of SUVs, trucks, minivans and compacts. It's not a Tesla Roadster, but it's certainly not "slow".
I own a 2015 Fit and I love it! No issues at 10,000 miles. I find the cvt is really smooth in this car. I felt like I made a mistake when I was only getting around 32 mpg in this car at first but now that it's all broke in, I'm getting 40 mpg with mixed driving. Seriously, I can fit 12 large to average sized pieces of luggage in the back with the seats folded down. If you're thinking about the fit, def go and get it! I traded my fiesta and couldn't be happier.
+Jordan Lapid late reply my bad lol. I have 70k miles on the car now.. I drive a lot. It's okay.. My back gets sore sometimes when I'm spending like 12 to 15 hours on the road but, I think that's in anything I drive. At first where the seat belt clicks in, it dug into my side which was annoying. I lost weight though so now it doesn't bother me like it did haha.
+Kayla G I saw in another review that the "Fit" back seats are designed very well for taller people (averaging around 6.0), for leg-room and head-room.( Although this reviewer doesn't seem to agree) Have you found this to be true?
+Edwin Stewart I have really long legs (5'8) and I have no problem sitting in the back. I kind of wish I had a driver to drive me around so I could sit in the back lol. I've had some tall guys sit back there and there's plenty of head room and leg room.
4 speed automatic in this class? I don't understand why this is an issue. Are there people who drive 4 speed automatics who are unable to travel to where they need to go because of the number of gears in their automatic transmission?
+Z Jones my yaris is auto and I have no issues where I drive, and I have also have where I can go from L to 2 to 3 to D. I have driven a fit and I can say the Yaris handles MUCH better....
These reviewers are horrible, constantly making remarks about how a vehicle looks is annoying. Just do the review and let people decide for themselves whether it's good looking or not.
i'm tecnician and i like toyota , easy to fix and simple, toyota make different model in other county, like in asia, yaris its more shape and fastest than honda fit/jazz. on highway..yaris top speed up to 230km/h, and honda just 215km/h. the old fit/jazz so much better than the all new fit/jazz. dont believe.? jus try't your self and feel.. sorry for my bad english..greetengs from indonesia
Both are very good,my mother has a 2006 Honda jazz and i now have a 2015 Yaris 1.3L Cvt Icon model. I did have a 2002 Yaris GLS auto for 13yrs,it was awesome!
to me reliability is #1, i had an older yaris/echo with 410,000 miles and still ran like a champ with no issues other than an exhaust donut. id still gave it too if it wasnt for a drunk hitting my car. anyone seen any honda fits with over 300k on em with minor or no problems? please share your stories
Honda is more exciting to drive (I guess) but Toyota is way more reliable than a Honda.Honda automatic transmissions are made out of glass & there are more electrics to go bad.Toyota is simple/boring but lasts a very long time.........A mechanic once said that if Everyone buys a Toyota he'd be out of business.
Toyota Yaris in Turkey we have cvt transmission. Also with 1.33 vvt-i engine 99ps, 1.4d-4d diesel engine 90ps and the hybrid engine ise 100 ps. These motors are economic.
The is a word in English "reliability." I haven't heard it in any review. Simple design leads to reliability and durability. After 100,000 Honda gives a way to Toyota
I had thought about getting a Yaris hatchback, but the Fit's 130 bhp engine and CVT means I can get onto the freeway quite fast and going up a fairly long incline (a good example is the southbound Sunol Grade on Interstate 680 just north of Fremont, CA), I can keep up the 65 mph speed limit easily. The four-speed automatic means the Yaris tested here could have trouble on strong acceleration, in my humble opinion.
I often drive my girlfriend's 2013 Fit since her car get's much better mpgs than my Passat, and I gotta say that I love the car. I cannot get the car to return less than 28 in the city with my lead foot and it really is a fun car to drive. It literally fits (sorry for the pun) in just about any parking spot and holds a truly surprising amount of stuff. I'm a car enthusiast but I guess that you could say that I'm an oddball because cars that are extremely practical really pique my interest along side all the sports cars out there. I hear the 2015s are just that much better so I'm looking into buying one with the 6 speed for myself as a little commuter car since I'm looking to make my Passat my project car. If it's as good as they say, it's going to be a no brainer.
The Fit as equipped with leather and all is well over 20,000$...the Yaris as equipped is about $18,000. Also Id rather have a tried and true 4sp auto than a CVT.
You should have tested the manual versions; my wife has owned a 2007 yaris sedan 5mt for 8 years now, and she gets 39mpg avg (with lrr eco tires) in the spring/summer/fall and 37mpg avg (with studded snows) in the winter with a 60/40 highway/city drive. Although I personally abhor rolling toasters like these, I can't argue against the Toyota's reliability, I've only done routine maintenance on it, and it's at 102k miles now; still on the original clutch and rear shoes/drums, second set of front brakes/rotors (changed at 70k).
I don't like it myself, they screwed that up so royally. That said, I hate the interior of the Fit versus the clean look of the Yaris. but since I'm spending more time in the vehicle, I'd lean with the Yaris.
Wow! Nine years later one of my comments comes back to demonstrate how age builds wisdom. Given what I know now I would buy the Yaris in a heartbeat. It has one of the most reliable engine/transmission combos ever made. The Fit is still an excellent car, but the Yaris is the bee's knees. I'm currently driving a 2021 Yaris which I hope will prove to be as reliable as the 2015 version. Good luck!
Bought a FIT and regretting it. Research FIT fuel injector issues as well as Earth Dreams engines, DGI and carbon buildup issues. Cost to replace injectors is around 2k and is very common problem with FIT as well as other Honda models that have Earth Dream engines. Will probably trade the FIT in with its issues and that is hard to swallow as I love the car, hate the engine. Have had mainly Honda's but am now researching other makes due to this.
Glad you mentioned the honda fit issues, you rarely hear any issues with Yaris. That is the selling point reviewers forget to mention, they have no mechanic background. They just look at feel and bloated tech. All tech is dated within 2 years. Rather get my map/music from my phone that is updated every 3 years.
My honda fit 2020 is beautiful and not slow at all. Supper fast for such a small engine. Obviously not compared to my charger 2007 hemi with over 300 horse power.
My girlfriend really wants to replace her 2000 Beetle with a Fit! I honestly cannot say enough good things about the Fit (I almost wish I would have gotten an EX 6-spd instead of my Civic Si), so needless to say, we'll be Fit shopping before too long :)
The 1978 Honda Civic was getting 40mpg all around driving in 1987, as a 9 year old car. I know because it was my first car. I checked the millage often and never seen worse than 40mpg. Why can't they make a new car that gets that kind of gas millage today?
they were probably 2200 pounds cars with low HP, thus they got great milage. The honda crx HF got something like 50mpg in the 90's but was a death trap. It adds weight to make a car safe when they hit a 5,000 pound truck, weight decreases mpg. my 137hp 2007 elantra gets 36mpg on the highway, it weights 2800 lbs. 4 speed automatic.
I'm glad toyota doesn't make a cvt for the Yaris, I hate cvt's. The sound they make is terrible, I understand for cars like these sound doesn't matter to a lot of people but it matters to me. The Tranny in the Yaris Is gonna go so much longer than the fit. But 4 speed, my dad 99 corrola has 4 speed with over drive. Toyota needs to update the engine and tranny.
2017 Yaris Hatchback was the last year to get a Canadian Yaris Manual-T without the HSA (Hill Starter Assist)! The Yaris to too advanced for me now!! 2018+ The Manual from Toyota's are not saved!! I HATE HSA because it's not optional!!!!!!
I'm wondering what is going on at Toyota. In 2015 a 4 spd automatic??? At least a 5 or 6 spd should be a non-issue for a company with such deep financial reserves. Also there is nothing exciting coming out of Toyota save for the Suba-yota. Great video review guys keep up the good work.
Honda Fit clearly takes the cake here, Toyota has totally dropped the ball on many of their new models. Prius is almost as disappointing with all the insanity of their packages available. Won't be buying Toyota now or in the near future.
Yeah yeah yeahh.... I would still buy a yaris over a fit. No matter what toyota yoy have its still more reliable. Fit may win over yaris but in all the other categories toyota wins. Corrola, camry, sienna, tacoma, tundra, 4 runner, rav 4 all got 1 over honda.
As a driver, who cares about passenger space. Want me to to drive you somewhere for free? As long as there enough driver space, that all that really matters.
People interested in these two cars are indeed interested in a standard transmission......it's dead beat comments like the ones made that keep pushing the CVT....
Like that's the whole point of the yaris. Reliability. I'd rather pocket the 4 grand price difference for insurance and general matinence for the next 3 years. They need to understand the mechanic portion of why toyotas are so dope. The parts are interchangeable year to year giving you a cheap stock of replacement OEM parts. Kia or hyundai? Yikes, imagine a hyundai accent or mirage at 120K miles.
Retrospectively, didn't Honda experience massive failures with this generation of Fit's transmissions? I seem to remember production location changing and QC tanking.
thanks for the great review, im excited to get my new fit now :) could you guys do a review on how the fit will run in winter condition like edmonton with like half a foot of snow on the roads? thaanks
All new cars come with a higher speed transmission but when they break it can be very expensive to fix like Jeep and Chrysler vehicles. Yaris run forever just the way they are great car for the price. My wife's Honda Civic has a timing belt engine that is crap the one she had jump a tooth and bent a bunch of valves in the head. I would never by Honda I have had Toyota all my life and they have always been reliable with there timing chain driven engines they last forever.
Or you can just adjust the volume with the buttons on the steering wheel, which is easier than reaching out to the dash, and there are HVAC knobs. Your comment was a mistake.
Toyota should have just made the Mazda based Scion iA the new Yaris, while adding/keeping it's hatchback option. Toyota needs to just do away with the Scion brand, make the iM the Corolla hatchback, keep the FRS and just end everything else. No other car company has needed to attract younger buyers. Honda, Mazda, Ford and all of Toyota's other competitors are doing just fine without a third sub-brand. Quit wasting your money on ex-models that aren't working, and aren't going to work, and just absorb Scion altogether.

I don't care about look or space. I want a car that's going to last. And if it needs to be maintained i want a car that's easy to do myself.
Honda jazz(fit) is a big kinda mpv car, yaris is a small car,they are completely different
The Honda Fit does 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, quicker than the vast majority of SUVs, trucks, minivans and compacts. It's not a Tesla Roadster, but it's certainly not "slow".
8 segs the third generation, being manual, 9 being automatic so yeah, pretty much is the fastest subcompact.
I have one manual :P
I own a 2015 Fit and I love it! No issues at 10,000 miles. I find the cvt is really smooth in this car. I felt like I made a mistake when I was only getting around 32 mpg in this car at first but now that it's all broke in, I'm getting 40 mpg with mixed driving. Seriously, I can fit 12 large to average sized pieces of luggage in the back with the seats folded down. If you're thinking about the fit, def go and get it! I traded my fiesta and couldn't be happier.
They say the Honda fit driver's sit gets uncomfortable after a while. What do you think?
+Jordan Lapid late reply my bad lol. I have 70k miles on the car now.. I drive a lot. It's okay.. My back gets sore sometimes when I'm spending like 12 to 15 hours on the road but, I think that's in anything I drive. At first where the seat belt clicks in, it dug into my side which was annoying. I lost weight though so now it doesn't bother me like it did haha.
Thanks! I got a fit now. I love it! The seats aren't an issue really!
+Kayla G
I saw in another review that the "Fit" back seats are designed very well for taller people (averaging around 6.0), for leg-room and head-room.( Although this reviewer doesn't seem to agree) Have you found this to be true?
+Edwin Stewart I have really long legs (5'8) and I have no problem sitting in the back. I kind of wish I had a driver to drive me around so I could sit in the back lol. I've had some tall guys sit back there and there's plenty of head room and leg room.
Noticed that the video background and specs don't match up with the cars during the comparison screen. Kinda confused me for a bit.
4 speed automatic in this class? I don't understand why this is an issue. Are there people who drive 4 speed automatics who are unable to travel to where they need to go because of the number of gears in their automatic transmission?
+Z Jones I have a 4 speed automatic, its a volvo 240DL from 86. It shifts terribly, especially between 1st and 2nd
+Z Jones my yaris is auto and I have no issues where I drive, and I have also have where I can go from L to 2 to 3 to D. I have driven a fit and I can say the Yaris handles MUCH better....
@@pdmftw1 _the Yaris handles MUCH better_
Really?
These reviewers are horrible, constantly making remarks about how a vehicle looks is annoying. Just do the review and let people decide for themselves whether it's good looking or not.
These guys don’t turn wrenches lol two lousy dorks hahah
i'm tecnician and i like toyota , easy to fix and simple, toyota make different model in other county, like in asia, yaris its more shape and fastest than honda fit/jazz.
on highway..yaris top speed up to 230km/h, and honda just 215km/h. the old fit/jazz so much better than the all new fit/jazz. dont believe.? jus try't your self and feel..
sorry for my bad english..greetengs from indonesia
I'm a toyota fan but seriously 4 speed in 2015 ?? come on at least give it a stupid CVT
buy it with a manual!
dude, it's 2015. Toyota has to at least provide a 5 speed auto by now. besides, there is a lot of people that dont want to deal with a stick shift.
TheClubshaker I already own 2014 Toyota Hilux 4X4 with a manual and I'm sooo happy with it
jorge romani Or don't know how to drive a manual.
I'm surprised Toyota hasn't updated their engine for the Yaris. It's nearly the same engine as the 2007 Yaris.
Excellent car review. Better than almost anything else I've seen.
The images on the '2015 Toyota Yaris vs 2015 Honda Fit' frame, showing specs of the two compared automobiles, are switched.
The seat room in the Yaris is a downright joke. Kudos for mentioning the reasons for the MPG drop.
Both are very good,my mother has a 2006 Honda jazz and i now have a 2015 Yaris 1.3L Cvt Icon model. I did have a 2002 Yaris GLS auto for 13yrs,it was awesome!
to me reliability is #1, i had an older yaris/echo with 410,000 miles and still ran like a champ with no issues other than an exhaust donut. id still gave it too if it wasnt for a drunk hitting my car. anyone seen any honda fits with over 300k on em with minor or no problems? please share your stories
Honda is more exciting to drive (I guess) but Toyota is way more reliable than a Honda.Honda automatic transmissions are made out of glass & there are more electrics to go bad.Toyota is simple/boring but lasts a very long time.........A mechanic once said that if Everyone buys a Toyota he'd be out of business.
They dnt last fits r crap
I heard about a guy with 354,000 on his FIT and it just keeps going.
Edit fail at 1:00, the vehicle shown behind the info graphic is reversed.
Toyota Yaris in Turkey we have cvt transmission. Also with 1.33 vvt-i engine 99ps, 1.4d-4d diesel engine 90ps and the hybrid engine ise 100 ps. These motors are economic.
0:59 You have the cars switched.
The is a word in English "reliability." I haven't heard it in any review. Simple design leads to reliability and durability. After 100,000 Honda gives a way to Toyota
Not true lol, Hondas last way way over 100,000.
your specs on the two cars are wrong at 57 sec. the honda has the 130 hp / 114 lb ft torque and the yaris has 106 hp and 103 lb ft. just so you know
I had thought about getting a Yaris hatchback, but the Fit's 130 bhp engine and CVT means I can get onto the freeway quite fast and going up a fairly long incline (a good example is the southbound Sunol Grade on Interstate 680 just north of Fremont, CA), I can keep up the 65 mph speed limit easily. The four-speed automatic means the Yaris tested here could have trouble on strong acceleration, in my humble opinion.
I often drive my girlfriend's 2013 Fit since her car get's much better mpgs than my Passat, and I gotta say that I love the car. I cannot get the car to return less than 28 in the city with my lead foot and it really is a fun car to drive. It literally fits (sorry for the pun) in just about any parking spot and holds a truly surprising amount of stuff. I'm a car enthusiast but I guess that you could say that I'm an oddball because cars that are extremely practical really pique my interest along side all the sports cars out there. I hear the 2015s are just that much better so I'm looking into buying one with the 6 speed for myself as a little commuter car since I'm looking to make my Passat my project car. If it's as good as they say, it's going to be a no brainer.
I'm 6'2" and I fit in the back of the Fit. The read seats recline too, so there's more than enough room
The Fit as equipped with leather and all is well over 20,000$...the Yaris as equipped is about $18,000. Also Id rather have a tried and true 4sp auto than a CVT.
Good review guys...very straight forward and logical. I will be subscribing.
You can tell Honda is the King of Engines. They are able to fit 24 more horsepower into same size engine.
Because it's direct injection? It's also a newer design while the yaris engine was designed 20 years earlier.
at 0:58, the car specs and the cars at the background video doesn't match. This is a bit confusing. Is it intentional or a mistake?
Fit has more room, more power and better mileage. Worth the price difference.
You should have tested the manual versions; my wife has owned a 2007 yaris sedan 5mt for 8 years now, and she gets 39mpg avg (with lrr eco tires) in the spring/summer/fall and 37mpg avg (with studded snows) in the winter with a 60/40 highway/city drive. Although I personally abhor rolling toasters like these, I can't argue against the Toyota's reliability, I've only done routine maintenance on it, and it's at 102k miles now; still on the original clutch and rear shoes/drums, second set of front brakes/rotors (changed at 70k).
To me the grill of the Yaris looks like a big black cross saying "Don't buy me".
idiot
I don't like it myself, they screwed that up so royally. That said, I hate the interior of the Fit versus the clean look of the Yaris. but since I'm spending more time in the vehicle, I'd lean with the Yaris.
Wow! Nine years later one of my comments comes back to demonstrate how age builds wisdom. Given what I know now I would buy the Yaris in a heartbeat. It has one of the most reliable engine/transmission combos ever made. The Fit is still an excellent car, but the Yaris is the bee's knees. I'm currently driving a 2021 Yaris which I hope will prove to be as reliable as the 2015 version. Good luck!
Lol I think these two cars match the two dorky hosts. Especially Daffy Duck lmfao🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bought a FIT and regretting it. Research FIT fuel injector issues as well as Earth Dreams engines, DGI and carbon buildup issues. Cost to replace injectors is around 2k and is very common problem with FIT as well as other Honda models that have Earth Dream engines. Will probably trade the FIT in with its issues and that is hard to swallow as I love the car, hate the engine. Have had mainly Honda's but am now researching other makes due to this.
Glad you mentioned the honda fit issues, you rarely hear any issues with Yaris.
That is the selling point reviewers forget to mention, they have no mechanic background. They just look at feel and bloated tech. All tech is dated within 2 years. Rather get my map/music from my phone that is updated every 3 years.
What year you have? Or to stay away from
I love your lisp its addicting
4:34 "Different tools for different tasks" These guys are definitely tool, my Fit 6MT is a sports car.
Having a lisp like that and being named Sammie, poor Sammie.
+Tesco Wes English might not be his first language.
+Tesco Wes At lest he's not Sylvester.
My honda fit 2020 is beautiful and not slow at all. Supper fast for such a small engine. Obviously not compared to my charger 2007 hemi with over 300 horse power.
My TL has 305hp :)
I can't concentrate on anything other than the guy's lisp.
In the beginning when the cars stats are being listed. I found it a bit confusing that the opposing cars stats were laid over each of them.
My girlfriend really wants to replace her 2000 Beetle with a Fit! I honestly cannot say enough good things about the Fit (I almost wish I would have gotten an EX 6-spd instead of my Civic Si), so needless to say, we'll be Fit shopping before too long :)
So, nine years later: Did you guys ever get a fit? 😂
Wow cramped necks? you guys must have really long torsos to find the rear headroom bad on the Fit.
The 1978 Honda Civic was getting 40mpg all around driving in 1987, as a 9 year old car. I know because it was my first car. I checked the millage often and never seen worse than 40mpg. Why can't they make a new car that gets that kind of gas millage today?
They do. The 2023 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is rated for 41 mpg.
they were probably 2200 pounds cars with low HP, thus they got great milage. The honda crx HF got something like 50mpg in the 90's but was a death trap. It adds weight to make a car safe when they hit a 5,000 pound truck, weight decreases mpg. my 137hp 2007 elantra gets 36mpg on the highway, it weights 2800 lbs. 4 speed automatic.
I'm glad toyota doesn't make a cvt for the Yaris, I hate cvt's. The sound they make is terrible, I understand for cars like these sound doesn't matter to a lot of people but it matters to me. The Tranny in the Yaris Is gonna go so much longer than the fit. But 4 speed, my dad 99 corrola has 4 speed with over drive. Toyota needs to update the engine and tranny.
JDM Toyota: and look the problems with that CVT that the Yaris doesn't have (4 speed U340E for the win)...used market CVT Fit isn't worth shit!
the CVT is the reason I'll get my wife a Yaris or another subcompact, thanks!
YARIS' ARE AMAZING. we have one from 2007
Yes I had one too but I just got the fit and trust me Honda fit is more power and more spacious and more economic than yaris.
How many miles did your Yaris make it to?
2017 Yaris Hatchback was the last year to get a Canadian Yaris Manual-T without the HSA (Hill Starter Assist)!
The Yaris to too advanced for me now!! 2018+ The Manual from Toyota's are not saved!! I HATE HSA because it's not optional!!!!!!
I'm wondering what is going on at Toyota. In 2015 a 4 spd automatic??? At least a 5 or 6 spd should be a non-issue for a company with such deep financial reserves. Also there is nothing exciting coming out of Toyota save for the Suba-yota. Great video review guys keep up the good work.
Honda Fit clearly takes the cake here, Toyota has totally dropped the ball on many of their new models. Prius is almost as disappointing with all the insanity of their packages available. Won't be buying Toyota now or in the near future.
The Yaris is FUN with the 5 speed manual. Don't let anyone fool you. :)
except the fit is direct injected now and the yaris is multi... 100k miles from now that will make a difference. Good luck!
Yeah yeah yeahh.... I would still buy a yaris over a fit. No matter what toyota yoy have its still more reliable. Fit may win over yaris but in all the other categories toyota wins. Corrola, camry, sienna, tacoma, tundra, 4 runner, rav 4 all got 1 over honda.
@1:00 Wrong Depiction, Yaris over Honda and viceverca
I choose the yairs no matter what more reilible
As a driver, who cares about passenger space. Want me to to drive you somewhere for free? As long as there enough driver space, that all that really matters.
What about reliability?
People interested in these two cars are indeed interested in a standard transmission......it's dead beat comments like the ones made that keep pushing the CVT....
The yaris is priced cheaper, and it's more reliable. You have failed to mention these crucial points
Like that's the whole point of the yaris.
Reliability. I'd rather pocket the 4 grand price difference for insurance and general matinence for the next 3 years.
They need to understand the mechanic portion of why toyotas are so dope. The parts are interchangeable year to year giving you a cheap stock of replacement OEM parts.
Kia or hyundai? Yikes, imagine a hyundai accent or mirage at 120K miles.
Retrospectively, didn't Honda experience massive failures with this generation of Fit's transmissions? I seem to remember production location changing and QC tanking.
I got a toyota yaris 2016 hybrid, love my car
My fit is a little beast
I like the toyota better than the honda Fit
I’m getting a 2015 Yaris tomorrow 92k miles for 4500 let’s see how it goes
I wonder how the Fit stacks up against Mazda 2/Demio. Could you review the two vehicles?
thanks for the great review, im excited to get my new fit now :) could you guys do a review on how the fit will run in winter condition like edmonton with like half a foot of snow on the roads? thaanks
4 speed auto is fine with an engine that small.
The yaris is the best..😍🚗
The labels at :58 are wrong, which is which?
Would be badass if honda made a Fit Si and Toyota put the 2ZZ engine in the yaris
fit type r and Toyota will still be sleeping
58seconds You mixed pics with specs.
If were to choose, I would save even more money and get the last version Fit.
All new cars come with a higher speed transmission but when they break it can be very expensive to fix like Jeep and Chrysler vehicles. Yaris run forever just the way they are great car for the price. My wife's Honda Civic has a timing belt engine that is crap the one she had jump a tooth and bent a bunch of valves in the head. I would never by Honda I have had Toyota all my life and they have always been reliable with there timing chain driven engines they last forever.
Honda 4 cyl engines have not used a timing belt since 2007 or so. All the Fits use a chain. The Honda 6 cylinders still use a belt.
The Toyota Yaris interior looks a whole lot better than the Fit!
Top0ne opini9n
Are you kidding?
your pictures got switched when you were showing specs of the cars loool
Honda has no volume or HVAC knobs, just slide on the screen....huge mistake.
Ikr
Or you can just adjust the volume with the buttons on the steering wheel, which is easier than reaching out to the dash, and there are HVAC knobs. Your comment was a mistake.
Toyota should have just made the Mazda based Scion iA the new Yaris, while adding/keeping it's hatchback option. Toyota needs to just do away with the Scion brand, make the iM the Corolla hatchback, keep the FRS and just end everything else. No other car company has needed to attract younger buyers. Honda, Mazda, Ford and all of Toyota's other competitors are doing just fine without a third sub-brand. Quit wasting your money on ex-models that aren't working, and aren't going to work, and just absorb Scion altogether.
I think the Scion iA will be Yaris in 2017
Too much electronics = Too much costly repairs. Yaris all the way baby!
