yeah, if Civic still came in a hatch here, I would have been all over it. The sedan just didn't have the appeal/utility.

Thumbs up I Love My Fit

I think most, if not all of us, cross-shopped the Civic. And I'm sure there are plenty who went with the Civic, due to its advantages of a digital speedometer for those that can't read analog, and less usable cargo space so they can limit their buying habits.

Seriously, to me, I don't understand who would go with a Civic. Fit handles better, more utility, cheaper, and gets the same MPG. With a memory foam cut out, I'm good with it on long drives as well (6+ hours). It's just the better of the two cars (personal opinion from a former 5-time Civic owner).

Besides, can you fit 1,000+ water bottles in a Civic? Nope!






Honda Fit is the Best car I ever owned.

Now we're going to need a "partial front impact with a half a ton of water stacked behind the driver" crash test.

It was definitely sagged and I had to watch for any bumps/dips, but got me to the destination 15 miles away. If I were to do this on a regular basis, I would definitely get air shocks.

Well, it certainly wouldn't catch fire...

I would rather have a Civic Si than a Fit. But then I would rather have a bunch of other cars rather than either. I bought a Fit cuz it's the best for the money.

Hatchbacks are really practical. That's what I love about the Fit, all the room to put stuff in there. My first hatchback was a 1976 Toyota Corolla SR5 "Liftback", which really reminded me of a 2 door wagon. That little car really sold me on Hatchbacks, and all my cars since then have been hatches. BTW, that little Corolla was my first Japanese car, and it had a Hemi 4 cyl (with a carburator). Not much power, but a slick 5 speed stick. The quality of that little car was so impressive to me. Sold me on Japanese cars too.
