thinking of buying a fit
 

I am considering buying the fit. Also looking at the Yaris and
Nissan's new Versa. Anyone have any thoughts. Camparisons? The good,
bad and ugly.

Re: thinking of buying a fit
 

The Honda Fit IS the BAD and the UGLY. I'm not stupid enough to buy one, especially at the
ridiculously high price Honda is charging American fools.

I have a Fit with about 4k miles on it. Bought it at the end of
April. It's my first Honda. So far I like it a lot. My previous car
was 2002 Subaru WRX. Traded it in with about 95k miles on it. It was
starting to give me trouble and it needed high octane. I have a 100
mile round trip commute and was looking for a commuter. I cross
shopped the Yaris but didn't like it as much. Here's lowdown:

Good:
Fuel economy at 40mpg on regular gas.
Interior space is quite large for such a small car.
General comfort is good for a 6 footer like me.
Rear seat room is great for a car this size.
Handling is pretty good as well. Suspension seems pretty well sorted
out.
Reasonable power and torque despite the engine size.

Bad:
Radio reception seems weak.
Steering seems a bit twitchy.
No cruise control on base model.
No floor mats included -- have to buy separate.
Wheel covers on base model -- come on Honda!
Rear wiper swipes too frequently -- needs more of a delay.

Ugly:
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I thought the shape was
bit odd at first but I've gotten used to it.

Overall, I think it's a great little car so far. I don't expect to
have any issues with it. With 40mpg my commute cost is now about half
of what it was before with the WRX. Make no mistake. This is not a
hot hatchback like a GTI or WRX. It gets you from point A to point B
with little drama and no flair. With the 5-speed it keeps up pretty
well with traffic. Seems pretty well screwed together. I think it's
the perfect solution for $3.25 a gallon gasoline these days.

Check out Car and Driver online for a comparison of the cars you are
cross shopping. The Fit won by a considerable margin.

Hope this helps.
