The All-New 2019 Toyota Yaris Sets Its Sights on the 2019 Honda Fit in El Cerrito

The Toyota Yaris has been completely redesigned, pinched, reimagined, and smoothed over for the 2019 model-year--maybe it'll now be a closer competitor to the popular and versatile new 2019 Honda Fit. What's new? The Yaris has combined all of its various bits and pieces (the Yaris Liftback and Yaris iA sedan) into one collective of models. The Honda Fit retains its iconic lineup of bright, fun hatchbacks with lots of interior space.

If you're shopping for a subcompact commuter car in El Cerrito, both of these two peppy options should be at the top of your list.
