Is it fun? Sure. The engine winds up, and it feels tossable.
Is it sports car fun? No.
I could throw my old Subaru into a tight turn a bit hotter then the fit, slam the gas and rotate the car and know it will stick and not under steer. I can take my 914 and do the same corner much faster the the Scoob (and trying to do the corner in the old Subaru like I did it in the 914 almost ended in disaster.) The fit in "my" corner pushes hard. You need to hit the apex right, and have to go in slower.
But neither the 914 or the subaru ever (EVER) got 33 mpg.
So, yeah. Its a fun car - for an economy car.

I have to say that the Fit (I have a 2011 Fit Sport) is a TURD when it comes to standing start 1/4 mile acceleration, passing power (or lack thereof) leaves much to be desired, and so far the mpg has been a disappointment to me (best of 30mpg 1st tank, no better than 27mpg since)...
