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.

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.
