My mind is pretty much made up that I want to get the Honda Fit, but now I need to convince my dad that this is the right way to go because he doesn't seem to like the look of it, and no one I see daily likes the look of it either except me! My dad wants me to get a used Mazda3 but for the price of a decent one, I can get a brand new Fit with the $1000 eco rebate!
So far my arguments as to why the Fit is better than the Mazda3 are:
- Better mileage
- Smaller car :. easier to drive and park
- Better handling
- Cheaper to maintain and has Honda reliability
- Aftermarket parts are in abundance
- Bigger interior and more cargo room
- Cheaper price brand new
- Lighter curb weight
- Not as many on the road
- Most people who have come onto forums and asked the Fit vs 3 question ended up buying the Fit
- Mazda3 uses a Ford block but everything else is Mazda parts
- Fit is very forgiving and smooth when driving MT
Arguments used against the Fit and for the Mazda3 are:
- Less horsepower and slightly less horsepower per kg
- Fit is ugly? Not to me it ain't! But the 3 looks okay too.
And that's about it. So much more pluses than minuses for the Fit, so my mind is pretty much made up. Now to do the convincing!
Thanks a lot for your replies guys and gals! :vtec:
