Re: Honda Fit or Scion xA?
Consumer Reports just rated the cars you are looking at. Check it out at
your local library. I think Fit was their favorite but they actually
indicated that the slightly outdated Focus with all of the incentives
available could be a better buy than all of the new models. Worth reading.

Thanks, I'm actually, their Internet-subscriber. Nissan Versa is the best,
in their opinion, although Fit is the most economical.
With 5K miles/year, fuel efficiency is not a concern here. Safety and
comforts are.
Trying to configure "my own Versa" on nissanusa.com, though, I can't include
both the ABS Package and the "Convenience Package" (which includes
Bluetooth). This puzzles me greatly, but if bluetooth is incompatible with
ABS in a Nissan (and a dealer just confirmed this much over the phone),
then so be it... Oh, and the "Sunroof Package" requires the "Audio Package"
and one of the SIRIUS or XM satellite radio systems. Bizarre...
The second-best was Fit, according to CR with 64-points to Versa's 65. But
all of Toyotas/Scions were below Korean models, and Scion xA, in
particular, had only 37 :-(
