In reply to NickD :

I have no idea what their sales numbers on the car have been historically, but there sure aren't many used ones to chose from & they retain their value well, especially for their size/segment. 
 

 

The Honda Jazz/Fit is a great car. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are fantastic, for what they are. Then again I have owned 86 and 90 Wagovans from Honda, and the Fit come closest to that. That said, 3rd gen is garbage. The built in Mexico Fits are trash (as plenty of evidence on Fit Freak). Honda had moved the Fit production back to Japan. 

 

Should probably annotate that 2018-2019 MY sales were affected by factory floods in Mexico. 

I enjoyed my 3rd gen Fit Sport. The seats were infinately more comfortable than the 2nd gen; however, the dashboard cupholder (pissed that there was only 1 vs 2) is terrible. The new engine and transmission were a step in the right direction and it kept most of its quirkiness from the previous gens. I was thinking about how cool a K24 or a L15B7 would be in one. 

my only real awareness of the Yaris from a motor sports perspective is the fact the I believe one took 'H' production honors at the SCCA runoffs last year(year before?) I think....was way fun to watch this 'pill' bug zooming around being chased by door stops...
