It's nice to see that car nuts who are not necessarily Honda fans have what I consider the "common sense" to realize the Fit is the best of the group-- now all we need is Consumer Reports forthcoming comparison on reliability, etc to complete the accolades. (I sure hope they don't mind the gas tank placement, but with no reported incidents abroad that I'm aware of, they'll probably agree it's safe.)

 

Thanks for the link...

 

Yes, I am anxiously awaiting the CR review of the Fit - specifically their gas mileage test as it is done the same for every car on a real road. This makes it easy to compare to other cars.

 

It will take quite a long time before Consumer Reports say much about long term reliability. They just will print "insufficient data" for now.

 

Since we don't even have Fits out on the road yet, where did the poll numbers come from?
