I've seen some Yaris in the US a few months ago, and I should admit that they do not excite me....

Well the Jazz/Fit has 109hp and 105 lb-ft , 5 speed manual and 5 speed auto w/ paddle shifters. MacPherson struts up front and torsion beam suspension in the rear also.

FYI most cars have MacPherson struts suspension for the front so that's nothing special. As a matter of fact my 1998 Lancer uses it and so did my 1988 BMW. Now if you had said it had double wishbone then it would be different from anything in it's market.

as the license plate suggests i'd go for the FIT FTMFW! :bwahaha:

FYI the honda jazz also has mcpherson struts (F) with a torsion beam axle (R)

I love the Yaris' styling, but that's about it. Beneath the skin, I'm sure it will still have the "cheap Toyota feel", much like the Vios.

I'd look at the Suzuki Swift before deciding to get one.

The Jazz is still the no-brainer choice, though.

I like the styling of the Yaris better, pero mahirap pa i-compare yung dalawa kasi wala pa yung Yaris.

*3sgTe: Other than having a hatch on one and a trunk on on the other there is no real mechanical difference between the two models, so the driving feel would still be the same. The Jazz/Fit is still a much better vehicle compared to the Yaris regardless of what year the Yaris was made. BTW your title asked which one is better so Number001 just answered your question with his opinion along with a comparison of the two cars made by a magazine, you didn't specify Yaris hatch in your title. Next time if you just want to hear praise about the Yaris you shouldn't ask which one is better in your title since that would require people to give their opinion which is what Number001 gave you.

yah ryt.. he's talkin about the 2006 sedan yaris.. what i have here is the 2007 hatch yaris.. there's a difference with that .. there's no car manufacturer who would release a 2006 model in this years march 2007 and at the same time with the same specs, they release new models to differentiate old ones with rather new and compromising specs and performance.... better have toyota here.. sorry that im not one the toyota team to explain further details..

[redorange]

You honestly think Toyota will do a complete redesign of a car that just came out in 2006? There may be some cosmetic changes but mechanically there would be no reason to change the car since the first model year was 2006 it would be too costly. The specs you quoted on your earlier post is the exact same specs as the 2006 model so where is the difference that you claim for 2007? But hey you believe what you want if it makes you happy. After all you thought having MacPherson struts was something special to tha Yaris. BTW that engine on the Yaris is the same one used on the Scion Xb and Xa and it was anemic on those cars like it is on the Yaris.

But you didn't specify if it was the Hatch or 5 door Yaris Vs. Fit/Jazz did you? Of course he (number001) will give his opinion based on what he read based on your post not just on the pics itself right?

IMO there is no significant difference between the 06 HATCH/SEDAN vs. 07 HATCH/SEDAN models except for "minor" aesthetic changes and other specs like passenger volume, vehicle weight etc.. Here's the specs of the Yaris Hatch or SEDAN and tell me there's a BIG DIFFERENCE. Do your homework before you bash on other members comments. okay! :twak:
