how Fit is deferent than other cars you drive?
I will start with my Scion iM 2016 cvt
I will not talk about numbers, you can find them on many website, I will talk about things that only experiencing both cars can tell.
obvious both car share many aspects
both are hatchback economy cars and prices a are similar (Fit EX CVT $18600, iM CVT $19200)
from outside the Fit is a little bit higher (I like that), and the iM little bit wider and taller.
they both looks good, but for my test, the Fit front looks better, but the iM comes with 17" wheels and LED tail light.
inside:
- size: the front leg room are same, but the back leg room for Fit is way way better, iM back seat don't offer the folding up seat. iM trunk size is bigger.
- comfort: the iM is way, way quitter inside regarding engine noise and road noise, the seats have better quality, more comfortable. but front seat can't be pulled to be flat like Fit front seats.
when you sit on fit, you feel you are sitting high, which is nice.
the iM comes with dual zone auto climate control, its like home you set the temp and forget it.
performance:
Fit 130hp/114 torque, iM 137hp/126 as you see there's no big dereference on power, but the Fit is about 400 pound lighter and smaller makes it feels it has more power and acceleration.
the Fit has better mileage on city driving, similar on highway mileage.
THESE ARE THE DEFERENCES BETWEEN MY FIT AND MY SECOUND CAR SCION IM, HOW ABOUT YOU? HOW FIT IS DEFERENT THAN YOUR OTHER CARS?

My Fit is deferent than my STi
1) stands when STi comes into the room
2) always says Mr. STi
3) always says sir, with due respect
4) drives behind the STi
5) allows STi to get first dibs on oil, fluids, and other maintenance items
6) always signals when changing lanes

I'm afraid my comparison would be apples to okra…
The truck is actually the more comfortable vehicle on a long trip (as long as the roads are good - otherwise it rides like a ¾ ton truck!). I put a CarPlay HU in the truck, too, which makes Nav and entertainment better than my OEM HU in the Fit. I can also obviously haul much larger/heavier loads. The downsides are the ~13 MPG and the need for several tugboats when parking.
The Fit has great fuel economy and is a hoot to drive on a twisty road. It's also a high utility car, making it a great DD.

I bought the Fit 2017 LX CVT because it is completely a different car.
Fit cost $18,000 out the door, the other $154,000.
Fit 40+mpg regular gas, the other, 18-20 mpg using premium gas
Fit 0-60 about 8.5 sec, the other, 2.9 sec
Fit top speed, guessing 118 mph, the other, 200 mph on the autobahn
Fit can carry up to 5 people, the other 2+ some grocery bags
Fit I drive from A to B calmly, the other, I drive furiously on weekends
Fit has CVT step on the gas and away I go, the other 6 speed manual
Fit Carjacking unlikely, the other, exposure more likely to get shot
Which car I like better? Both serves a different purpose.
