Worst thread ever?

Way to make responsible, conscious car-buying based on real-world evidence and your impact on the world sound like a bad thing.

I think this is the sound a mid-life crisis makes.

this guy is comparing apples to oranges.

Acura RSX-S vs Honda Fit. LOL.

my opinion: keep the fit, buy a used 2000-2002 S2K. the future of cars are all about fuel efficiency. ull be happy with the fit in the long run.


Acura RSX-S vs Honda Fit. LMAO.

I just picked up a 09 BBP yesterday and weighed all your options as well. Comparing the RSX to the Fit is pretty lame imo. You bought an eco car for the gas milage and expect it to have some pep. That is excatly what your RSX is for. To balance that out and fill that void.

Im not getting rid of my SW20 turbo MR2, or AE86 corollas for that specific reason. Becasue the fit does everything they cant and they do what the fit cant. I think its important to have a quicker weekend car if you can afford to have two cars. It makes you appreciate the high qualities the fit does posses. When it comes time to run errands, road trip, night out 75% of the time Im sure I'll be in the fit.

Dont get me wrong, I like when people engine swap, and sc or turbo their fits and make them genuinly quick. Its just not something I would do since Ive got cars to fill that void.

Long story short. It sounds like you bought into the media hype and blindly went out and bought a car without really asking yourself if you need it. I'll tell you one thing though. You got a really good car by mistake and you certainly could have bought a much worse auto to complain about.

The thing that pisses me off is why Mugen decided to troll GE8 owners by displaying a vaporware supercharger for the GE8.



Mugen hurts my feelings.... :3

The riding dirty trolls made this whole thread worth while - got to give you rep for that! You either love the Fit or you don't - I got on this forum in Feb and still ended up buying a Fit in May. I knew its good points and it's bad but heck I just had to have one and I love this car!

Cat :x
