You must’ve seen the commercials from Honda and Toyota about their two new cars, the Fit and the Yaris…like two boxers trying to jab each other…”YARIS”…”The Fit Is Go”…It’s nice to see this segment of small cars growing! In Asia and Europe these tiny cars have been around for ages…look at em and you go, “How do full grown adults fit in there?!?” But they do.
I’m not a hardcore environmentalist, I admit I drive a truck. I rarely drive though, maybe 500 miles a month, and the truck is essential to carrying my muddy dog around.
Oh yeah, Nissan is going to introduce a small car too, called the Versa. I haven’t noticed any American cars in the super tiny car segment yet…or did I miss it?

I checked out the Yaris at the DC auto show earlier this year. It seemed quite reasonably appointed for the price. And I certainly like the gas mileage.

They’re certainly priced right too…starting at around $12k…not too bad…even runs a tough competition against hybrids…

The Fit’s standard equipment and outright performance make it the current best subcompact on the market for the price!
