Matrix - horrible leg room/interior room with back seats down, real bad blind spot with the rear panel by the windows, felt chlostraphobic.

Again, you're missing the point. Unless you're in an absolute bind to buy a car, why would you consider, or even contemplate, paying too much for one just because the competition doesn't give you everything you want?? Are you really that much into a bind? When there are others willing to part with too much of their money, why would you? I've always been curious about that side of human behavior which, by the way, is now causing havoc in the stupidly overpriced housing market in areas like California...suckers outbidding and overpaying for properties that weren't worth even half what they paid for?

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.

Then you go ahead and be one of the first who pay well over MSRP for this little "mass produced" car that's "rare"...I'll sit back for 6 months, a year maybe, and enjoy buying the car below MSRP.
