The B4 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 In the latest C&D there is a small car comparison... Dodge Caliber, Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent, Kio Rio5, Nissan Versa, Suzuki Reno, and the Toyota Yaris... guess who came in first? No surprise the Honda. This is how the review of the Honda Fit starts off... "The Fit is sold in more than 70 countries and is known in Europe as the Jazz. It debuts at C/D in typical Honda show-off fashion, winning by 25 points--- a cakewalk." WTF so i go and look at the points. They give the Fit a 9 out of 10 for exterior styling... The Fit has one of the least appealing styling out of all of the vehicles there. The Yaris is way more stylish and they give it 2 points less. Why do I give C&D my money for their biased Honda love?

NutBucket Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'd buy a Fit if I wanted a small car. I think it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KA81 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'd buy a Fit if I wanted a small car. id rather get a mini expensive, but holds their value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The Mini isn't nearly as big inside and, as you said, is much more expensive. The Mini is a good car if you like its styling (inside & out), but it's a totally different kind of car from the Fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The Toyota Yaris is cute but the hatchback only comes in two door, the four door version is a sedan. The Honda fit is a hatchback 4 door. I think its a mistake by Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If I ever had to drive something as ulgy as the Fit, I think I would cut my wrist and then hang myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddyup Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 suba rus- does it make it eaiser when your prospects ask you what you drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suba_rus Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 suba rus- does it make it eaiser when your prospects ask you what you drive? Selling cars for a living in a today’s market is not easy no matter what. Thou I do have an explanation for a sooby- my driveway is very steep . And my wife IS driving a Pilot. And most of our customers do not need to be convinced that Honda makes good cars- look at C&D and majority of my customers are coming out oh Hondas- that's high retention for you.

mmm def Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 F yes go Honda Fit!!! I'm getting my wife one as soon as our Geo dies. Those who bash hondas, have never had a honda. After 2 audis and a suby (Loved my LGT) i'm once again going back to Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 My sister has a Hyundai Accent - it's a good little car and doesn't make you want to throw up all over yourself like the Honda Fit makes me want to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TT- Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Mugen makes a Spec-D Fit that has a supercharger, but that still does nothing for the styling...i think it looks like a shrunk down suzuki aerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmm def Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 They're not supposed to look, theyre supposed to serve a purpose which is plenty of interior room for cheap cost. If you're on a tight budget like some are and need a nice reliable roomy car, the Fit is the car to have. Yeah it's ugly, but compared to my Geo it's a real looker. I'll bring my fit to the next meet for all you haters! Mike you can have the first drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderkind Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yaris is a better buy and better looking. Too bad you 'duhricans don't get the 4dr hatch versions. If someone's on a tight budget, then a used Civic is a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The B4 Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Just saw a Yaris sedan on the road today... that is a stylish looking car. It looks about as big as the last gen corolla. Too many people suck on Honda's teet. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_s Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Did anybody take note of the double-lane-change speed in that C&D test?!?!?! That alone explains why they liked it. Over 70MPH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
