Now, this is really funny. I bet the Fit driver is nervously looking in his rear view mirror. That could be me in the Modern Steel Metallic. Sporty or not? It depends on what you bought it for. For me, it is a utility daily drive since it is not my only car. In the garage, its sibling is just the opposite in character.
That's me in the Fit...
That's a BRZ equipped with the Performance Package behind me. My car was completely stock except for a Progress rear anti-sway bar. Stock brakes, stock tires, and stock alignment.
"The Performance Package will turn your BRZ into a hard-nosed competitor with Brembo® performance brakes for supreme stopping power, SACHS® performance dampers for enhanced stability, and dark gray 17 x 7.5-inch 10-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels for an exclusive look. This BRZ is ready to perform."
I held my own without issue and wasn't nervous in the least.
I drove ours up Mt. Coolidge 6200 feet up a barely 2 lane dirt road honking around hairpins all the way up (the turn off from the road looked benign; we were shortly locked into the climb after turn one). The car was unflappable up and down- we were freaked out. The car park at the top was all giant 4×4s, and our Fit. Fantastic car!
Now, put a couple of electric guitars and a couple of guitar amps in the back of a Miata. Right, you can’t. That makes it a non starter as an only vehicle for me.
hahah. Or try an electric bass cabinet, amp, bass guitar, mic stand, monitor speakers, and all the other junk you have to bring to a gig. The Fit swallows it all, with room for more.
