Is the Fit Tall or Short?

I went to Chick-fil-a today and parked next to an Acura RDX. I noticed that either the Fit is a really tall car, or the RDX is a really short SUV. There's maybe a 2" height difference between both cars. Keep in mind my GD3 is riding on 185/55/16 inch 09 Wheels, so it's a bit taller. Some might say that the Fit is a mini-mini van, but it sure doesn't look pint sized next to the Acura

the Fit's rear end is unproportionally tall for some reasons. lower springs just doesn't do justice. Coilover is a must to slam the rear end down. The usdm rear bumper isn't helping.

Yeah Fits are tall, but everytime I get in my Supra I remember how much I love the Fit's headroom.

LOLOL
highlight of the chicago auto show was the new Honda Hover......with i-VTEC fan propulsion

but yeah the Fit is tall, actually I'm pretty tall myself and even if I had a ginormus afro I think I could still wear a ball cap I actually wish the Fit was an inch or 2 shorter
My 94 RX7, that was the only car that was almost claustrophobic, felt like the interior (whole car actually) was shrink wrapped around me.

I'm 6'3" and the fit has more headroom than almost any car I have driven, which is pretty amazing considering the overall dimensions of the car. Headroom is the best part of this car, that, and you can fit a TON of shit in the car and still be comfortable

I guess I knew the Fit was tall when I asked the question, but I was just amazed at how tall it was compared to a SUV, lol.

That's the best restaurant in the world! I go there at least twice a week. The number 1 is the Chick-fil-a Sandwich right? There's no cheese on there when I order it. Or do you get the Deluxe?
