Honda Civic vs. Honda Fit?
 

This summer I'm going to buy a new car. My criteria are: good gas mileage, reliable, and because I'm a poor college student, affordable.















Initially, I was going to replace my Ford Focus with a new one. After doing some research, I found that overall it seemed that the Honda Civic was a better car. After looking at Civics, I stumbled across the Honda Fit.















I like the fact that the Honda Civic has more space. Although it has less gas mileage highway (33, to the Civic's 36), it has more mpg city (27, to the Civic's 25).















I don't like the small gas tank on the Fit, but I think I could get over it.















My question is, which do you think is better and why?































Also, if anyone has any input on a car other than these two that fit my criteria listed above, by all means give me your suggestions!

i am buying a integra right now maybe you could look into that car . its still a honda so it will last forever , lots of room and more power then a civic , in most cases .

The Fit is newer, therefore used will be expensive.

There are a ton of used reliable good condition Civics out there, you can get anything you want for a decent price, minimum a couple thousand.

When you said 'poor college student' Civic comes to mind - don't take offense personally I would get that over a Fit for costs reasons alone - plus they look goofy unless they are slammed and have some Works ;)
