Just a thread for fun. How do you categorize your fit? Officially, it's a subcompact. Some call it a minicar, a hatchback, or a wagon. When I showed him the magic seats, my father-in-law (a shameless longtime SUV owner) said, "It's like a little tiny SUV!" To me, just looking at the GE body, it reminds me of a mini-minivan. Or are you just too freethinking to believe in "labels"?

 

My F1 car....

 

My logic says economical subcompact... my heart says nimble little city racer... the dad in me says perfect family errand runner uberminivan... but I have to stick to saying your last point.

 

i call it a sub compact or econobox

 

my Fit is my truck with a roof.. seriously, this bitch hauls a lot of shit

 

I just call it a sub-compact but I understand the comparisons to a mini-van or SUV. The verticle hatchback is where that really comes from. Whatever it is, it rules.

 

speaking of today on NADA.com they classify this car as a "crossover" vehicle. i just consider it a hatch.

 

I forgot "crossover". . . if we all start calling them "crossovers", we'll be much more trendy. . .

 

the fit is a micro or kei car.

 

isnt a crossover like a small SUV/car combo? i dont think the Fit falls into this catagory... i think it def falls into the catagory of awesome!

 

faux hybrid. checkmate!

 

...It's my Aibo (partner)! I really don't want to call it anything else - plus one to the "too freethinking for labels" guy.

A little too big to be a kei-car I think. Engine size alone of the smallest Fit/Jazz engines around (1.2L i-DSI/twin-spark) is already double the Japanese kei-car 660cc limit.

 

The Fit is:

The Swiss army knife of cars

The Hatchback, Version 2.0

What happens when the functionality of a mini van gets crossed with the fun of a GTI.

A car that gets Hypermile'd one day and gets auto crossed the next (How many cars can you say that about).

 

I'd call it a hatchback, Econobox, or a Mini-Wagon

 

According to the EPA it is a "Small Wagon" so the debate is officially over!
