Fit versus Yaris
They're both great cars. Plus my fiance is mad at me that I'm getting the Fit, since she just bought the Yaris liftback. This might make her happy.

yaris hatch only comes in 2-door and the full slate of options are only for the sedan. at the moment (at least in my ZIP) the hatch isn't even available as a stick shift. the fit has two trims. much better.

No competition.
Yaris on car and driver was ranked one step below the kia rio5. Yaris has a yucky stick shift feel, speedo is in the middle, slow, bad control (at high speeds, they say u better grab the wheel tight b/c it'llsteer on its own), etc. The only variables yaris wins are price and fuel economy.

I have reason - better options on the Matrix base model (that is, cruise control). The Fit? Well, there are only so many ways you can package plastic.
The Matrix is also ULEV.

Edmunds agrees - Fit is a much better vehicle for the $$$!

The Fit is MUCH smaller than the Matrix, but similar in proportion...

Yeah. Saw a Yaris Liftback at my local Toyota dealer recently. The rear seats were folded down and the cargo area still looked tiny. I forget the exact numbers, but I did some research on it and I think the cargo space for the Yariis hatch is roughly half that of a Fit.
