The only problem I had with the Fit was it was loud loud loud at highway speeds. On my test drive, I had hardly broken 55MPH and I already had to raise my voice to talk to the passenger. People that like driving around blasting their stereo to drown out road noise or just don't care might be fine with this car, but for me it was a deal breaker. Shame, because it's otherwise a neat car with great design.
Fiesta has a higher quality interior but less room. Fit has a harsher ride. Fiesta also has a rock solid ride, but I liked its feel more. Where there are hard plastics, I preferred the Fiesta.
Price wise, I think the Fit probably wins. I think I'd buy still buy the Fiesta though.
I think they look like really fun little things to drive. I wish they were just a bit more powerful. Same with the Fiesta. I'll happily sacrifice a few MPG for 30 more HP in each.
Stablity Control should be available on lower trim levels. The climate control is positioned awkward, so close to the driver. And most hondas don't offer centre storage / armrest, which is really puzzling.
Why do people always bitch about interior noise saying that it's loud? Are you SHITTING ME? Compare the interior noise of this to some car or truck from the 80's or 70's there is a LARGE marginal difference between the two. And if you people still bitch, I have a simplistic solution. BAM! Radio ON! The quiet outside noise is COMPLETELY masked by your favorite station. MY music is playing more than half the time and i don't notice a god damn thing. And when it's off it's still quiet.
I agree about the vertical adjustments in the driver's seat. I'm a short person (about five foot one) so when I drive, I like having the seat a little higher up so I can see better. My mom's '08 Camry has a vertical adjustment to it, which I like. I've found that it's hard trying to find a car with a vertical adjustment.
@quest8899 ha. go test drive cars of your choice and park them on the train track until a train comes by; when you're done, let us know which car is the most resistant to high impact crash! thanks, brah!
I have the 2009 white sports trim model with a manual trans. It has an arm rest on the drivers right side. But I don't know if they can place an arm rest with built in storaga compartment. The hand break takes up some of the space where one would be placed.
this lady speaks perfect english.

So far, I've only heard great things about the Fit. I'm thinking of trading in my car for one. Is there anything legitimately negative about it??
What year is this one? 2009?

Thorough test for 3 minutes, but the reviewer ends every sentence she says by making her voice low and gravelly.

Odd they chose a manual sport and auto base as the auto sport has paddle shifters which the base lacks and the manual is about the same either way.

I guess it depends on how many times a year you get hit by a train. And whether or not it's a high speed type or a choo-choo.
