It's crazy to see so many come from much faster cars and many previous Subaru owners. I also owned a modded stage 2 WRX.
I haven't got a Fit yet. However mine won't replace anything. It will be the 3rd car.

Accord for Business
Fit for Daily
86(FRS) for weekend

Traded in a 2012 Nissan Hatch..... The 1.8L is plagued with #3 piston valve slap. Got them to replace the half block at 15K but at 120K it's back. Suggest that if you have a choice, go with the 1.6L Versa.

I got the 2016 LX Fit and am very pleased with it.

2007 Subaru Outback

My criteria for a new car was pretty simple: The smallest, most inexpensive, best gas mileage vehicle that could still transport my son and his wheelchair in a pinch. It'll never be our primary for that duty as we have an adapted van for that but I couldn't, in good conscience , buy a vehicle that couldn't pull that duty if need be.

Thought for sure I would have to get a mini ute but the fit, with the magic seat, can do it!

Plus it has much more leg room than the subaru

my 2017 Fit just replaced a 2012 Nissan Versa Hatchback. It was a nice car and did very well for us, but we wanted something newer and with more features.

Defector from a 2007 Subaru WRX Limited Wagon in Obsidian Black Pearl to '17 Fit EX-L in Aegean Blue... I won't miss the tiny backseat, but I miss that juice from 0-60mph already.

2000 Accord - MIL's car which had 18k miles on it when we inherited it in 2010. Took it up to 55k miles and sold it in 2015 -- bought the Fit.

2012 Kia Soul 1.6l 6-speed. I loved my little green Kia. It was a blast to drive and gave me 107K completely trouble-free miles (and I drove it like I stole it) but the lack of Cruise Control and Bluetooth got really old. I'd been keeping my eye out for a good pre-owned Fit with a manual gearbox for about six months. Last week my local Honda dealer got a white 2015 EX with 12K miles as a trade-in, so I bought it.

2004 Ford Taurus, that car gave me nothing but problems. Spent so much money trying to fix it and it never got any better. Before that i had a hand-me-down 1994 Ford Taurus that lasted me a month. Shouldve known better
