Both the Honda Fit and Ford Fiesta offer a lot more driving enjoyment in an otherwise comparable package.
Against the Note, the Fit stands out especially for its very low cargo floor and a seat-folding arrangement that's better than all others in this class; it's also been redesigned for 2015 with a more refined ride and more features.
The Ford Fiesta is the fun-to-drive champion of the class, and it looks very refined and nicely detailed inside and out; on the downside, it's not nearly as space-efficient.
The Hyundai Accent impresses as a little more upscale—mainly because its switchgear and trims are a step above.
The Chevrolet Sonic is far more refined, with a better ride than the Versa plus better interior comfort and top-notch safety; it feels like a significantly more expensive car, even though it doesn't cost all that much more.
While the latest Toyota Yaris is attractive inside and out from a design standpoint, it's not a standout in other respects.

The 2015 Nissan Versa sedan and Versa Note hatchback are as about as inexpensive and no-frills as new cars get today. Spacious interiors and and decent ride comfort are their strong points, and they're best matched up against slightly upmarket, late-model used cars. |
The 2015 Chevrolet Sonic is comfortable, stylish, safe, and drives well, and almost completely blots out our memory of a much worse Chevy Aveo from the past. |
The 2015 Fiesta lineup is proof that small cars don't have to be feature free, and you can even have a bit of fun while saving fuel. |
The 2015 Honda Fit might not up the ante in sportiness, but it offers up exactly what urban small-car shoppers want in safety and convenience features—and it's still as good as some utility vehicles or vans with its wondrous, unmatched Magic Seat setup. |
The 2014 Hyundai Accent isn't exciting to drive, but it's one of the most comfortable, well-equipped cars its size--and still a great value. |
The 2014 Toyota Yaris is built for city commuting, but on highways it reveals some major weak spots. |
