Very serious Fit competition if those numbers hold up. Hits all the right spots.

 

Looked good four months ago also...

MO: it beats the Fits hp. -_-
wheels I dont really mind about the size.
MPG is par

hows the interior/roomy?

 

i was just looking into it last night....def worth test driving to see if it has the same feel as a fit....liking the look of the interior though

 

OMG ANOTHER CAR THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER SUBCOMPACT!

<- Don't see the big deal. Hey guys. I'm going to trade in my Honda for a KIA that looks exactly the same, all the while getting myself more in debt! Win, right?

 

I get made fun of enough for driving a Fit. I only think a Kia would amplify this :/

 

looks like a ford and golf put together or something. i dont like it at all.

 

The Kia I owned before my Fit left such a bad taste in my mouth, I would only take another one of those cars if it was *free*. Even then I'd hesitate if I could afford to buy something else.

Just saying. Maybe they've gotten better since the one I had was manufactured.

 

Didn't get past reading the paragraph about the transmissions. No MT on higher trim levels? No deal.

 

Looks good on paper, 90% sure it will drive like a Nissan Versa, i.e. soulless.

 

I think it resembles more of a Seat Leon (VW owns them).

 

Your probably right.

 

It looks o.k. for a KIA and I know KIA has come up a little, but here's the thing its a KIA, Like kenchan said it looks like ford and vw had a baby. I don't want.

 

Speaking of VW, if I would have had the luxury of waiting until next Spring, the VW Polo would have definitely gotten a real good look-see.

 

looks like ass. no thanks.

 

Interior looks legit. Exterior is alright. Because it's a Kia, I doubt anyone will take it serious.

 

EXACTLY what I thought when I saw it. Golf & Fiesta had a Kid.

Honda is not far off this mark either... no MT Fit with navi anymore. No MT regular Civic except the DX/LX.

But the EPA mileage, 6 speed auto and added engine power of the Kia, can't argue with that. 30/40 is a big bump for 27/33. No Magic Seats and such though.

Bottom line, the Fit could use a nice bump in HP. R18 instead of L15.

 

Agreed. The Mileage is decent but at what cost? It likely can't hold half of what the FIT can and real world mileage is likely to be different. Our fit gets better mileage what they expect for the Fiesta.

I've been saying the Fit needs an R18 for a while... for a sporty model. Imagine 140hp under the hood of the fit? And then you'd have the option of Mating it to a 6sp MT with a taller final gear for even better economy. The l15 is a good motor but i think misplaced in the Fit. It needs to go in something more aerodynamic and I could picture it working well in the Honda City. The lack of a decent COD on the FIT means it needs a little more torque which the R18 would provide.
