Not confusing anything with anything.
Before looking at the Fit, I was doing test drives with the new Toyota Matrix, Rav4 and the Santa Fe - more expensive than a Fit, so you're not the only person that can afford more than a Fit. In fact, I'm sure there's a ton of other people that can do the same.
But I wasn't overly impressed with any of the other cars mentioned above.
Matrix - horrible leg room/interior room with back seats down, real bad blind spot with the rear panel by the windows, felt chlostraphobic.
Rav4, no manual option for a 4-cylinder, best mileage for an SUV, but not as good as I'd like.
Santa Fe, mileage not as good as the Rav4, but a few thousand cheaper than the Rav.
Then I took the Fit for a spin on the suggestion by someone, loved it.
The interior space, the fuel economy, was bang on.
Suckers would be those wanting those two factors and paying the bucks required to get those vehicles.
The Fit is considerably less and you get more room and much better fuel economy.
So you wouldn't be considered a "sucker" if you were to buy an '09.
Don't use the term so loosely.
