2015 Toyota Yaris vs. 2015 Honda Fit

Nothing is cooler than a colorful new hatchback, and the 2015 Toyota Yaris is a sweet little number that makes driving fun and efficient. Compare the economical 2015 Yaris to the 2015 Honda Fit, and see that Limbaugh Toyota in Birmingham offers the best value hatchback for your buck.

The 2015 Yaris comes with a frugal 106-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, paired with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission, getting up to 30/36 mpg and 30/37 mpg*, respectively. The 2015 Fit also comes with a 4-cylinder engine and two transmission options. With 130 horsepower, the Honda’s Continuously Variable Transmission gets up to 33/41 mpg, while its 6-speed manual gets up to 29/37 mpg.

Saving money does not mean sacrificing safety. Every 2015 Yaris includes Toyota’s Star Safety System, including Smart Stop Technology, which stops the vehicle if both the gas and brake pedals are depressed. Both vehicles include advanced braking technologies, including Vehicle Stability Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, and Traction Control, as well as a full set of airbags. Only the 2015 Yaris includes ToyotaCare, which provides every owner with a complementary Maintenance Plan** and Roadside Assistance*** for a period of time.

Style is important to hatchback drivers, and Toyota offers more body options than Honda. Including the rear access door, the 2015 Yaris comes as either a 5-door or a 3-door, the latter option being perfect for beginner drivers. The 2015 Fit is only available as a 5-door. The expense of the Honda Fit is increased by offering rearview camera, moonroof, and keyless start features. Both hatchbacks include a 60/40 split, fold-down rear seat to maximize cargo space while keeping the vehicle itself small and agile. The Yaris’s 6.1-inch easy-to-use touchscreen is standard on all models, while only the higher trim levels of Fit include a touchscreen.

The 2015 Yaris has the maneuverability and fun of a hatchback, with the proven reliability of a Toyota, all at a better value than the Honda Fit. Test drive one today at Limbaugh Toyota in Birmingham, Alabama.
