Just 7 more months left on my Fit lease!
And I think I'm going to switch to a new Civic, possibly a Civic coupe. Anyone own one? Although, after owning my Fit, I'm a little turned off on Honda products in general. Paint defect since since new, poorly wearing tires needing new ones at just 24K miles, easily dented roof side panels (when waxing the car), grinding noise on start up when cold, etc. My buddy is a warranty rep for Honda and he said the Civics are made better. Although, I will miss the cargo capacity of the Fit.
fit is a better car dan the latest cruise sedan.. Avis gave one to me at one of my biz trips.
I don't know about da hatch, I've not driven one but id stay away. check out the new Impreza's if hatch.

It's often unwise to let a car dealer tell you what to buy.

In 2015, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reports a 20-year old car, the 1996 Honda Accord, was the top car thief target with 52,244 reported stolen in the U.S. last year.
I'm sure you can afford a 1996 Honda Accord!

My 1998 Civic was stolen during daytime at my college. CHP found it and my insurance totaled it and give me a check. Many body parts, doors, hood, trunklid, lights etc....

Well, my getting another Fit is out of the question. Just the fact that I can lean on the roof pillar panels, and dent them while washing or waxing the car, is a huge turn off. In fact, I looked at a used 2015 & 2016 Fit this weekend as curiosity, and both also had dented roof pillar panels.

My Fit will hit 3 years old in June. It just crossed 22k miles...
I'm buying a Civic Hatch as soon as the Sport Touring is available. I'm just ready for a sportier car.
I just moved out to the suburbs and I now have a 40 mile round trip commute to work instead of a 3 mile commute from my old place. With that change, I just want a more capable interstate car. Not that the fit is lacking but I just want something more substantial. And the Civic should get equal or slightly better gas mileage than the Fit.
I also want adaptive cruise because the traffic on my way home sucks balls half the time.
