Thanks for your help.

The Fit beats the SX4 in just about every category I can think of except dirt road and kayak capability. Dealer network, resale, demand when you go to sell it someday, likely reliability, parts/service availability, interior cargo volume, MPG, handling, Fit wins. Barreling down a dirt road, hands down Zook. If you tow, Zook wins. Looking at the front bumper and such on my Fit Sport, I would be real leery taking it down too much of a fire road. Base Fit, maybe more so. I paddle myself, have a Valley Aquanaut HV, and guess what...the '98 VW Golf has a lot better roof rack system and I don't worry about taking it off the beaten path as much. At some point, I'll probably spring for a Fit rack and haul the boat on there.
