Cage Match! Honda Fit vs. Volkswagen*Jetta | RocketNews24



Posted on a Chinese website, this picture clearly shows the Fit coming out on top. Details of the fight are sketchy, but the photographic evidence is not. While the Jetta’s front hood has buckled rather extensively, the Honda would appear to be hardly showing a scratch.

 

this seems pretty staged

 

Looks like the Fit is a fighter with other "battle scars" on the right fender in front of the wheel. Makes you wonder how good the Fit driver is at driving.

 

Nice picture but I'm starting to like the new turbo diesel Jettas.

 

I have a different type of match to discuss.

If you buy a Jetta, you will have a car that impresses your hipster friends who also know nothing about cars aside from the sexy advertisements targeted towards socially ambitious yuppies who have plenty of comfort borrowing to fund their purchases but not quite enough student debt to cripple them.
If you buy a Fit, you will have a car with more cargo room, a lower sticker price, and which will not require you to return to the dealer for repair of unforeseen breakages due to poor mechanical design.
You will, unfortunately, be requested to pick up your friend from the VW dealer at least once a year, so you'll actually be going there nearly as frequently as he does. When your friend has his first child, he will be upset at the unreliability of his past VWs and will transition to driving a Toyota. You will start your child's college fund with the money you saved not repairing your Volkswagen.

Despite the picture above, though, I do think that German cars of all types are rather more crashworthy than their Japanese counterparts - especially in the compact segment.
