My mother called it a "soccer mom car" then proceeded to call it a "van". I was not happy.
Oh and a friend called it a "station wagon". Again, not happy.
I call my Fit "sexy"

 

"shitty little kids matchbox toy" yeah....

 

Telling that the guy driving that beautiful Fit is not, uh, fit sucks!

 

I like the fact that it is titled as a station wagon, lower insurance rates.... No one has said anything derogatory but some out of his mind redneck that followed my wife into a store scolded her for driving such a "death trap".... She informed him that it was more capable of avoiding an accident than his pickup because of the low center of gravity, quick handling and shorter braking distance.. She also told him he was more likely to roll over in or be involved in an accident his truck.... I was proud of her.

 

Good for her! What gives that guy the right to scold her?! She also should have mention the big difference in MPG

 

my fit has been called a van, soccer mom car, and a piece of shit. lol. i just laugh. the guys at work actually have the best name for it, and well, i just might get a decal for it. they call it the "wedge". i kinda like it. i even call it that when i'm at work. i call it sexy, hey baby, and all that stuff. gotta treat my baby with respect. lol

 

although i don't own a fit (yet, hopefully soon before college), i've talked to friends about the fit, and they call it a mini minivan. yes, a mini, minivan. i personally like the looks of GE's.

 

Some random person called it a fag car, and that fits are for fags.

 

called my black sleek shuttle pod, feminine..
Sure it has feminine features! what good car doesn't!!! look at Ferrari.. -atleast this is how i justified it in my mind.

 

Wow! Fit hate is alive and well. I laughed the other day when some guy asked me if it was a Civic!

Cat :x

 

My friend called my GE8 a "Prius" when I first got her. My response, "Fuck you."

 

kudos to you ^

 

"Station wagon" ain't so bad. Americans have this stigma about the term I guess, but the Fit really is categorized as one as far as the US motoring press seems to be concerned.

If it means humiliating SUVs in terms of loading big, bulky items, then heck yeah it's a station wagon.

 

an "oversize Refrigerator on wheels"

... which made me laugh, it kind of does look like my fridge.

 

i think the most awesome thing my car has ever been called was a roller skate.

 

I haven't heard anything negative nor positive really concerning mine. Though I've heard that it looks good and a little menacing. There are tons and tons of them in both generations roaming the streets here. This is my first car that I've owned that I have seen multitudes of it on a daily basis. All my previous Hondas were not seen very much on the roadways.

About the station wagon, that is exactly what it is. A 4 door hatch is considered a station wagon, even on my Japanese title it is listed as such. And as far as the deathtrap, that person should learn to do a little research and he would see that the Fit most likely has a much higher rating in crash tests compared to his pickup. Ignorance though runs rampant as do people's mouths.

 

that little station wagon thing.

 

Ford Pinto???

goofs.

 

An Aveo; 'nuff said.

 

lol, guy i work with was like nice GTI.. noob.

most of my friends drive trucks, so they call it gay, and chick car.. then i tell them it only costs me 60 dollars to drive to tallahassee. they pretty much give up at that point.
