Question

Between a new Honda Fit & Toyota Yaris, which is better in terms of resale value, performance and reliability?

Answer 1

toyota is a lot better in every area wins hands down if your looking in this price bracket go toyota

Answer 2

the Honda Fit is better in every way.

the Yaris has a noisy unrefined engine, bad brakes (unless you pay extra for ABS) a choppy Hwy ride and annoying center mounted gauges.

the Fit comes standard with "all" power accessories, side curtain air bags and ABS brakes.

Highs: Versatile interior, handling, fuel economy, standard ABS, powertrain, controls, access, turning circle, crash-test results, reliability.

Honda's small four-door hatchback offers easy access and good visibility, and has an amazing amount of interior room. The rear seats can be folded flat or the cushion can fold up against the backrest, creating a deep, flat floor that can accommodate bulky or tall items. While not overly powerful, the Fit feels responsive, with a smooth and willing engine, and agile handling. Overall fuel economy is an excellent 34 mpg for the manual and 32 mpg for the automatic. The ride is a bit choppy but supple enough.  A 2009 redesign has just been introduced.

Yaris:

Highs: Fuel economy, turning circle, reliability.

Lows: ABS option hard to find, noise, acceleration, driving position, emergency handling, IIHS side-crash result w/o curtain air bags.

The Toyota Yaris offers excellent reliability and fuel economy of 33 mpg with the automatic, but overall it trails better economy cars. The ride is compliant and handling is reasonably responsive but gets sloppy and hard to control at its limits, especially in the hatchback model. Stops are very long without the optional ABS. Acceleration is adequate, but engine and road noise result in a loud cabin. The compromised driving position and the center-mounted gauges are frustrations. Although the starting price is enticingly low, a well-equipped Yaris sedan can easily top $15,000.

Ultimately the Yaris scored too low in our testing to be recommended.(consumer reports)

Answer 3

Toyota is always better, plus it got better gas mileage and that's very important now days!
