2015 Honda Fit vs. 2015 Toyota Yaris 

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?

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.

at the 1.0 minute mark, the vehicles are backwards and reversed with the provided information, confused the hell outta me.

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.

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 :58 you have the cars on the wrong sides of the data. Just kind of confusing.

I want a Fit really, really badly. I just love it!

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.

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.

dude with glasses sounds like Sylvester the cat.

I'd choose a manual transmission actually. Cars with such low power NEED a manual.

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.

Whichever one you get, make sure it has a stick shift. Both are super reliable and easy to maintain.

Fit you did it again! Nice job honda!!

There was no point to this comparison. The fit is MUCH MUCH MUCH better in EVERY WAY compared to the yaris.

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.

To me the grill of the Yaris looks like a big black cross saying "Don't buy me".

I love my Yaris! It's just as good and less expensive!

Maybe mention that the Fit can be a couple grand more than the Yaris. Good show guys, keep the presentations coming!

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 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.

Noticed that the video background and specs don't match up with the cars during the comparison screen. Kinda confused me for a bit.

I don't want a car to excite me, I want it to get me to the excitement..

The Yaris is made in Japan, while the fit in Mexico, and the CVT vs gears in the Toyota. To me those two are big enough to say the Yaris is better

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.

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.

I'm a toyota fan but seriously 4 speed in 2015 ?? come on at least give it a stupid CVT

I got my honda fit a week ago or so and love it!

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.

I don't think anyone's going to argue with that decision... The fit is just a MUCH better car in almost every imaginable way.

The seat room in the Yaris is a downright joke. Kudos for mentioning the reasons for the MPG drop.

Fit is very good! I have a Fit 2010. The generation 2 is the best.

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.

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".

Having a lisp like that and being named Sammie, poor Sammie.

I'd choose the 2016 Toyota Yaris SE with the 5 speed manual 👍

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

The images on the '2015 Toyota Yaris vs 2015 Honda Fit' frame, showing specs of the two compared automobiles, are switched.

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!

0:59 You have the cars switched.

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 :)

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 Yaris is FUN with the 5 speed manual. Don't let anyone fool you. :)

Wow cramped necks? you guys must have really long torsos to find the rear headroom bad on the Fit.

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?

Lol I think these two cars match the two dorky hosts. Especially Daffy Duck lmfao🤣😂🤣😂🤣

YARIS' ARE AMAZING. we have one from 2007

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

Good review guys...very straight forward and logical. I will be subscribing.

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.

Edit fail at 1:00, the vehicle shown behind the info graphic is reversed.

You can tell Honda is the King of Engines. They are able to fit 24 more horsepower into same size engine.

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.

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

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.

What about reliability?

Excellent car review. Better than almost anything else I've seen.

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

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.

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.

your pictures got switched when you were showing specs of the cars loool

I got a toyota yaris 2016 hybrid, love my car

Would be badass if honda made a Fit Si and Toyota put the 2ZZ engine in the yaris

I’m getting a 2015 Yaris tomorrow 92k miles for 4500 let’s see how it goes

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.

4 speed auto is fine with an engine that small.

I can't concentrate on anything other than the guy's lisp.

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

Holy lisp, Batman!

Toyota for non car guy and Honda for car guy. But, fit is bigger inside that's why people love it.

are these videos ever filmed in Oakville, Ontario?

I wonder how the Fit stacks up against Mazda 2/Demio. Could you review the two vehicles?

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?

4:34 "Different tools for different tasks" These guys are definitely tool, my Fit 6MT is a sports car.

Fit has more room, more power and better mileage. Worth the price difference.

The yaris is the best..😍🚗

I love your lisp its addicting

Retrospectively, didn't Honda experience massive failures with this generation of Fit's transmissions? I seem to remember production location changing and QC tanking.

They're called gears, not "ratio's". One thing I noticed with the Yaris was that it has very cramped footwell area for the driver and front passenger. Does the Fit have more leg room up front (not worried about the back). Also, which model had a deeper/longer dash? Nice review, thanks.

The labels at :58 are wrong, which is which?

Honda jazz(fit) is a big kinda mpv car, yaris is a small car,they are completely different

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?

Why does this millennial kid remind me of Daffy Duck????

The yaris is priced cheaper, and it's more reliable. You have failed to mention these crucial points

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.

So these magic seats are just truck seats lmfao

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

What's that song at the beginning?

58seconds You mixed pics with specs.

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.

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).

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!!!!!!

except the fit is direct injected now and the yaris is multi... 100k miles from now that will make a difference. Good luck!

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....

If were to choose, I would save even more money and get the last version Fit.

My fit is a little beast

I choose the yairs no matter what more reilible

I like the toyota better than the honda Fit

that Yaris is so different with the one in my country
