Have you bought a Honda Fit or a Toyota Yaris? Please tell me which and what you like or dislike about it ?
Please mention how long you have had it. I am beginning to think about my next car purchase. Are they good for freeway driving in an urban setting, or more for short distance errands. Also how tall are you? Is there enough head & leg room? I am thinking of getting something cute inexpensive and very efficient. I like the Hybrids, but their efficiency is not high enough to compensate for the price tag.
I have previously owned a Honda and a Toyota, and was very pleased with each of them. This time, I am looking for as much specific detailed info as is available from someone who has bought and driven either of these new models. thanks all!
I have vivited each of he manufacturers websites and looked through all the data, and options there. Looking for subjective experience from owner, please.

ive got the opportunity to check out a honda fit which is also called a honda jazz in asian countries. Its the same exact car except for the name.
its a chick car, small and has swift handling for everyday use. good mileage too.
re room it is indeed spacious at the front but a bit cramp at the back to be sitting 3 full size passengers.
the engine is another thing. since it doesnt have a long hood like most cars, the engine is quite small and tightly fitted into the front. So my fear is if you have a frontal collision, the engine is sure to push all the way back to the cabin thus pinning you inside.
I'm not sure if it has been rated but its worth to look.
other than that its a good youthful car to own.
