I think the real world diff is more than 3 mpg. Maybe even more than the 6 mpg EPA says it is.

What these two said. Also do you need much utility in terms of the vehicle's carrying capacity?

I just went from a 07 4dr si to an 09 manual sport FIT. mpg was 27 for the si... I'm getting 37-39 with the FIT.

It depends on what you're going to use the car for...me, I prefer the FIT.

as long as it has a waranty go for it. the k20 is the best motor honda's made and has crazy potential... you can't turn that down... the 4 door isn't guranteed to be less bagged but it is likely been better treated
