The facts are apparently not on your side either. i-VTEC is just as reliable as VTEC (there have been no failures since VTEC was first implemented on the NSX...do the math regarding how many vehicles were sold).
My information comes from someone far more intimate with Hondas than "Honda mechanics".
Regardless, your logic that nobody should buy brand new cars on the basis that they're practically guaranteed to have problems because it's a first year car is almost insulting. I'll spend my money the way I want. I've owned first year cars that had small issues (as to be expected) and I've had first year models far more expensive than the Fit that had absolutely no issues. Either way, I don't walk around wondering if I'm going to have a problem with my car on the way to work tomorrow. I have better things to do with my time. If the dash has a little rattle who cares? Ford's still recalling fairly new cars for engine fires. I'll take my little first year rattle and turn the radio up just a little louder, thank you very much.
