Honda Civic Hybrid vs. Honda Fit Sport Comparo

[Rezxer]

The top commenter is right (though I'm not sure about spending $5K on a 1980s vehicle). Hybrid sticker prices are a killer.

The Civic Hybrid is lucky. Unlike the Prius, the Civic Hybrid is easy to find at a low price, and, as a hybrid, it retains its value excellently. However, it is true what people say -- the best value is typically found in low cost gas cars that gets 32+MPG, such as the Yaris, Fit, and Accent.

[M67v]

haha the civic hybrid is even slower than the insight and gets about the same mpg as it

[phlemTARD]

@M67v actually it really depends on what kind of driving you do. people who own hybrids will do alot more stop n' go so there is the potential to get much better fuel economy in those situations comparitively.

[toyota420xp]

why not just put the 1.8 civic engine/trans in the fit. better mpg rating and hey the extra power would help. isnt the fit supposed to be for hauling cargo in a small package. the extra hp would make the fit a lot better car

[toyota420xp]

i think the only reasons a person would purchase a fit over a civic is for the utility and maybe somebody likes the style better. 28/36 mpg for a 2012 civic and 27/33 for a 2011 fit. an accord gets 23/34. the new civic has a 1.8l with 140hp and weighs 2681 with an automatic trans. the fit sport with auto weighs 2604 but only has 117 hp 1.5l. why wouldnt they just put the 1.8 in the fit. considering if your carrying cargo you will add a lot of weight and hey get better mpg

[blueburaq]

@whitefangv: thats true....BUT, some people are more concerned about safety.

[jsiszero]

conclusion: hybrids are a waste of money.

[jnnycliff]

people the fit if you drive local and no freeway or you no one in ur city driving big car, cus u gonna kill yourself ur your family with that fit. Get accord hyubrid more safty. when it come to your life you just can't put any price on it. Well if you crying about the price then go with civic LX, cheaper than hybrid and you just pay a little more per month on gas, but you get the power u need, also fun to drive.

[UnitedPebbles]

Not to include the annoying temperature limits hybrid have to faced.

I think the Fit is more pragmatic, greener choice.

If you want electric vehicle, go all the way with Tesla. Hybrid vehicle is one complex machinery. My Prius is one freaking laboratory on wheels with so many sensors and instruments on board, it is one expensive machine.

[viper19861986]

hybrid comes out in cost after 26 years?

What if i drive 100,000 miles a year?

I freakn HATE when people give the break even point i terms of years...

that is so retarded, why not give the MILES....

Or at least tell us how many miles are in a "year"

[ale03000]

I think it's not logical to compare this two, it's not even in the same class. If you have to compare to me the Civic Hybrid is better of course due to larger interior space, trunk space, better comfort, better fuel mileage, better looking appearance and so on while having only a slightly higher price.

[MegaMyballs]

I'd take a truck or a civic si

lol

[belizetj]

I own a Civic and i love it. But if it was this case, Fit or Civic Hybrid? I'd take the Fit without question.

[rcmodder]

Want to be green?

The absolute best way to be green is to NEVER buy another car again.

Stick with the car u have now, that will cut down on the cost and energy put in to produce new cars.

Hybrids are not practical

[MagicSeal]

@rcmodder Or purchase a used but more efficient car.

[muckfichigan97]

I get about 40mpg with my conventional civic. I don't understand why anyone would buy a hybrid. You pay a ton more for it and you get a few more MPG. Then you have to worry about batteries later. Makes no sence. You're blowing your money.

[EllysaE]

seee the hybrid only makes sense if your'e getting it on sale. We're getting one fro 12000 a 2008 new 56 miles on it cause they're trying to clear the showroom. I think then it's worth it.

[kostura118]

I drive a JEEP.

[arsHW]

@kostura118;

Well congratulations... Would you like a cookie? That's too bad because I don't bake.

[kostura118]

You could go to the bakery and buy me one.

[arsHW]

@kostura118;

I'd end up eating the ones I buy.

[Ge0vone]

I know the new gen fit is bigger than the previous but for some reason, I think it looks smaller or at least more agile.

Anyways, I would love to get my self on the headlights, turn signal mirrors and the lip spoiler off the hybrid and put them onto my 2008 Si sedan

[revaholic]

Fighting Americans, shut up! It's always the same argument with you guys.

[muckfichigan97]

Who are you, Borat?

[thebankcard]

i say fuck a hybrids i dont have 26 years to wait to break even by then the price for a hybrid will as cheap as the common car price range

[thecarexpert18]

if ANYONE has a honda fit base model, does it look nice?

[Boltfiger]

I don't know why they always use the red model to showcase the 2009 Fit. I think the red flattens the details of the body. Go for the silver......ahem...which is the one that I bought as well ^_^...

[desimunda116]

the honda fit looks really nice but 11 seconds ayii

[whitefangv]

Why would people spend loads of money on hybrids when you can buy a smaller car like the Fit that gets not much less MPG. Even if you factor in environmental impact it takes more resources to produce a hydrid because you need more raw materials to make the battery. If you really wanted to save money buy a CRX which gets 50MPG and cost around 5G's.

[seannopak25]

the thing about hybrid is that you have to drive it for a lil while to make your money's worth but most people just get new car as soon as they finish paying off the loan , i mean.. why bother if you're gonna do that , im one of those people and i drive a lot so i can't lease , so i bought a fit.. lol

[Changeis9]

@whitefangv

what about a 2003 civic hybrid vs a 2009 fit? $8,000 and 50 mpg ave. vs. $14,000 and 31 mpg. If you buy used, the energy already went into the car/battery and thus, you are not aiding demand... I just bought a 2003 civic hybrid and love the calm driving and savings adding up in my bank account.

[mamoquin]

@whitefangv because we just want to encourage the new technologies

[ripper3200]

And if you really want to be the cheapest person on the road buy a Tata Nano, it gets 55.5mpg and cost 10 times less then the the Fit. $2,050!!!! So when it comes to being the cheapest person on the road the Nano beats them all! WOW you can tell this world has gotten bad when people are taking pride in how cheap they can be. OMG did he say the fit was $20,000! Are you fucking kidding me! Shit for that price I would go buy a 2006 Acura TL, way better car by light years and you only lose 7mpg!

[masflow3]

HONDA FIT!!

[coandcaiv]

hahaha! im LOVING all these comments! i for one dispise american cars..chevy,pontiac,saturn....­GM needs to go under already, my honda accord is doing just fine :)...oh and i did i mention its a 1990 still running strong? bye bye GM!

[gooziddaiejoon]

wow it takes 26 years for the breaking even time

[remustintoi]

yeah judgesteelfag...you are a retard... yur too brainwashed by the fucking hicks u grew up around and u need to open yur eyes and maybe do a bit of reading about cars... oh im sorry readin's fer rich folks eh...good luck with yur american "quality" automobiles...dumbass

[shel8777]

You must drive it 12 miles a year....

[UKMK1991]

Nice cars.

But both are to expensive and they should work on price.

Come in people America is in recession!

[Mikew995]

Well unlike the big 3 honda has other markets around the world. Gm isnt welcome in europe their respective brands dont sell, and japan doesnt buy their junk.

[shel8777]

And your a SHIT HEAD.

[shel8777]

The reason why there are more 40's 50's 60's and early model 80's American cars, beacause we BUILT them correctly. 85% Of them anyway, Why no Japanese? Because they were VERY SMALL with NO creature comforts. But they STILL are on the road today, just nobody wants to buy them used because Japan has evolved to bigger more luxury type faster cars. While America went to the shitter.

[JudgeSteelflax]

You went to the shitter

[shel8777]

??????? The WORLD are bias sources? What the FUCK are you talking about? GM and Ford And Dodge, do make GOOD TRUCKS... CARS? B U L L S H I T!!!!! They are made to FALL apart in 3 years, so you have to get another one at a dealership with your credit upsidedown! Don't believe me ask AC/Delco or NAPA auto parts that have make BILLIONS from GM and Ford Owners... Why do you think It cost so much for Japanese parts??? Because they DON'T break down! Enjoy your third starter, Or waterpump!! FOOL!!

[shel8777]

Just had to say it twice..

[shel8777]

Guess what? Honda's Toyota's Nissans LAST much longer than Piece of shit GM cars, because they are BUILT to last! Don't believe me? Ask KBB, Consumer Reports, Check resale value, and the MILLIONS of import drivers. Any car that has 230,000 miles on it and still starts everyday, RULES! YOU are a SOLD OUT BRAINWASHED, FUCKHEAD, loser! Keep buying American cars while GM fucks you in the ass homo...

[JudgeSteelflax]

those are biased sources and they don't start up any time after 230,000 miles. AMERICAN CARS DO. don't believe me? ask ACTUAL PEOPLE NOT BIASED SOURCES. I BUY MOPAR EVER HEARD OF IT SCREWHOLE? GM CAN KICK TOYOTAS ASS TOO THEY HAVE MUCH BETTER TRUCKS AND CARS. KEEP BEING A DAMN COMMUNIST!

[SandmanV3]

judgesteelfuck:

how is it communist ? it's japanese you fuckin redneck . learn your shit back in college . oh im sorry you live your live in a trailorpark . THE BIG 3 IS IN DEEPSHIT AND IS ASKING FOR FEDS FOR BAILOUT . and to mention the poor resale value the shit domestics have . Hondas and Toyotas they're still the tops . now rental cars are dominated by japs too . even hyundai is kickin their asses. good luck driving dat trailortrash prick .

[felando2002]

what the hell is honda thinking, the car doesnt break even until 2034? Why waste that much money per month on car payments if its what you save on gas??? You might as well get what you want and just drive less and/or drive better.

[mazda6tuner99]

u can make a fit turbo

[moosmann12020]

what an absurd comparison, and what a foregone conclusion. why make this video?

[siiikkshot]

honda's are so useless.

i hate their watered down semi-futuristic look. the cars are all front wheel drive lemons. japanese auto-makers such as toyota and nissan have proved honda obsolete in my opinion. the only good thing about honda is vtec and A-vtec.

[coandcaiv]

jealous much?

[JudgeSteelflax]

they don't even make any V8 engines. they don't know anything about cars.

[camrygrande]

Honda is better than Amercian cars... it's more reliable & has more quality than American cars... Amercian cars suck... That's why GM & Ford are losing day after day to Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc... Live with that fact!!!

[JudgeSteelflax]

the reason why they are losing is because of unions! They are not better one bit. If you think you can convince me to buy some old Honda over the 1969 plymouth fury im lookin at, you are one nolife dunderhead.

[camrygrande]

They are not losing because of the union... They are losing because their cars have cheap quality... Whether you are convinced or not, you are the loser eventaully because you hate Japanese cars which are the most dependable & reliable & the world...

[JudgeSteelflax]

SHUT UP YOU COMMUNIST i will save plenty of money by buying a cool car for 1200 and geting 15-20 mpg rather than paying 25000 for a dumb car and getting 40 mpg. i would have lots more fun with something i would enjoy keeping for my entire life. I'm not gonna buy that damn honda

[shel8777]

Guess what? Honda's Toyota's Nissans LAST much longer than Piece of shit GM cars, because they are BUILT to last! Don't believe me? Ask KBB, Consumer Reports, Check resale value, and the MILLIONS of import drivers. Any car that has 230,000 miles on it and still starts everyday, RULES! YOU are a SOLD OUT BRAINWASHED, FUCKHEAD, loser! Keep buying American cars while GM fucks you in the ass homo...

[camrygrande]

1st of all, Behave your langauge... HA HA HA... Save plenty of money?!? buying an American car for 1200 means you just throw 1200 in the trash can because this 1200 Amercian car won't start moving... Cool Car?!?! They are rubbish, ugly looking cars... Having fun on a rubbish car?!? Well, no comment... Damn Honda?!? This "damn Honda" can work more than some stupid American rubbish, stupid car...

[RAWfart]

The reason why most of the Japanes cars are FWD is becuase #1 most of the cars are maid for fuel econamy and #2 because FWD is a lot more safe then a RWD and is cheaper to make then AWD.

[numbernwords]

Hey can you do more research before you bark like a dog!

[eckyboyo]

They are called a Jazz in New Zealand too. Think more about them you guys... as soon as the economy shows signs of recovery petrol will skyrocket again.

[shel8777]

I love these sold out American fucks that think buying American is some fucking great thing. Hey shit for brains! America dosen't make the with quality! They fall apart withing 3 years! They are WORTHLESS as soon as you take them off the dealership! YOUR A SHITHEAD! Get it?

[acebladez97]

my car is a pontiac and 15 years old and still runs like new. It's not the car you buy it's if and how you take care of it.

[JudgeSteelflax]

YOU SUCK YOU SHITHEAD. get a life you don't know anything about american cars. American cars are a tradition by the way. Honda is just a copy cat. and for the fall apart thing. How many chevy cars and trucks do you see left from pre-1985? how bout ford from pre-1985? DODGE? A hell of alot more than Honda! You are one brainwashed FAGGOT! Get it?

[coandcaiv]

jealous much? :)

[dreamexecution]

what do you expect, you had to import the hondas back in pre-1985 but the american cars were made here meaning more americans bought american cars

[JudgeSteelflax]

i expect i would hate to drive a foreign car. you don't know anything about cars. American ones are much better.

[dreamexecution]

hey smart ass, I didn't say whether it was superior or not, I simply gave an explanation of why there would be more pre-1985 American cars compared to Japanese imports

shows how much you know about reading

[stealth512512]

Oh I see what your saying is, we all need to buy pre-1985 domestics. Unfortunately that's just not realistic.

[JudgeSteelflax]

What i'm saying is Honda was good for a wake up call along with toyota and nissan. But MOPAR, GM, and Ford, have all upped their standards MOPAR or NOCAR bitch

[SandmanV3]

was a good wake up call ? bitch please . they're still up top . even hyundai is beating the shit outta domestics . i still haven't seen improvements on the domestics . talk about same platform shared and rebadged it and dull interiors which creates the lack of creativity they have. MOPAR is a tuning branch of dodge it has nothing about uppin standards cept for ricing you neon GET OVER IT .

[JudgeSteelflax]

Ricers suck how bout a 67 coronet!

[SandmanV3]

67 ? good lord we're in 2008 . fuck those gas guzzlers wit all speed n no handling the only shit im interested back in the early days were the 427s. and all domestic shits have low resale cause they're crap . pointless .

[Rsanson21]

mopar is one of the less reliable cars behind ford and there resale value sucks

[JudgeSteelflax]

YOU SUCK

[Rsanson21]

yo momma sucks pussy bitch

[MRBUSHIDOKUN]

"How many chevy cars and trucks do you see left from pre-1985? how bout ford from pre-1985? DODGE?"

0

[JudgeSteelflax]

you must have your eyes closed. You see 1980's chevy trucks all the time.

[MRBUSHIDOKUN]

acutally, I see more of the 90s silverados, 00s ram, and plenty of 00's of the F150 and Rangers...other than that, the trucks in the 80s are long gone

[JudgeSteelflax]

actually you suck because you dont see shit. i have a 1972 ford f250. its time tested for durability and being a beast.

[JcmMagNoo]

i can only imagine a rusted truck sitting on your driveway

[JudgeSteelflax]

oh old and rusted are synonyms? i never knew that. my truck is a classic V8 powered masterpiece.

just shut up about your jap crap im not drinkin your haterade

[JcmMagNoo]

oh jap crap? here we go with the jap crap. that jokes so damn old im tired of seeing that insult. heres one for your truck. Yo' truck is so old, that when a ricer revs its engine your truck's transmission falls off. Built Ford Tough MY ASS. i wonder if your an Fucking Old Redneck Driver. cuz your in a band wagon in a company who can't make a proper truck.

[JcmMagNoo]

its too bad that you have to learn the old school way of tuning a carb motor. god luck on the repair bills.

[JudgeSteelflax]

more like good luck learning things and taking on a challenge. i'm 15 by the way and you oughta shut up because you dont know anything about anything

[JcmMagNoo]

look whos talking you don't know how to fix that knocking. you are gonna be a bitch an spend your money or your parents money to fix up that truck. u no what your trucks obsilete.

[JudgeSteelflax]

what knocking? if you watched my vid thats not knocking its an exhaust leak and i've fixed it idiot with my own money. i make my own money. just cuz im 15 doesn't mean im a jerk that cant take any responsibility. if you got to know me you would find i dont like to accept things i cant pay for. every other 15 yo (yes 15) says their parents will or already have bought them a car. i bought my truck for 1000 with my money. and it aint obsolete. nobody will ever make a better truck than 67-79 fords.

[JudgeSteelflax]

you would also learn that i fix things myself and i take initiative not just pay a whole buncha money.

and if you doubt my last statment in the last post, my truck has a 8100 GVWR. that pretty much is up to todays standards. and thats stock. ive got this heavy duty bumper too, and the 4 speed granny gear. towing is no problem. i gotta 8 foot bed too. the engine is a 390 c.i. V8. it's a antique and it can work. now you tell me its obsolete you ignorant shitass. u just jealous u dont know shit.

[MarxPayne337]

I've got a Fit- it's a fun drive, and I save a lot of money on gas. I've never had a problem with space, and there's no real need for the climate control; AC/Heat works great. If they made it a Hybrid, that'd be sweet, but it's awesome now.

[arabrockerman]

or for that matter if you just want to save and you like the civic it gets about the same millage as the fit but cost less than the civic hybrid. hybrid is only for the principle of the matter in which case i would get a vw diesel XD

[rehmant]

frank55656

If you dont like it dont watch it!

[ttdeloache]

if it looks intresting owell

[SlavkoDurko]

They both rule! Dont see any bad side about them, i would like to have a fit. Cars in the USA are so damn cheap. If we had such a car as a FiT in Ukraine it would cost about 30000$. And its with our sallaries for about 300-500$ :(

[BigBoBaH]

да есть такое дело... У вас новые машины стоят впринципе также как и у нас - в Латвии. Но б\у конкретно завышенны из-за идиотских налогов...

[nwonknu8]

?

english please

[kockgunner]

I hate it when people give hybrids lower ratings because it takes time to 'break even'. That's totally missing the point. You are trying to save the environment, not money, and you are willing to pay extra for it. How long does it take for a luxury car to 'break even' then. Never? No one should by luxury cars then.

[ricedraja]

id choose the fit, kuz i hate the battery system of the hybrid and the fit looks more handy in cargo situations. but i wouldnt buy one, rather get a car with more power.

[JudgeSteelflax]

they both suck. they are asianese or something. well, they ain't america. Get a life. Geez, hondas this worlds gone mad. Go back to japaan. chevy volt would killl that. So would a Hemi 'cuda or any other american car. this is more like a contest to see the worst car in the world. FOREIGNISTS, COMMUNISTS, LOSERS, LOW-LIFES, LIBERALS, ENVIRONMENTALISTS, NORTHEASTERNERS, NEW JOISEY PEOPLE, NEW YOIK PEOPLE, GET YER NO GOOD STUCK UP FOREIGNIST BUTT OUTTA HERE!

[coandcaiv]

whoa!!! guess what?....you're an idiot! :D

[JudgeSteelflax]

i guess you would think so if your'e so ignorant. I bet you never heard of chevy volt. or chevy malibu. I bet you never even looked in to a dodge charger, or dodge ram truck. Who the hell needs a silly little car that can hardly hold me. I'm 6'4'' you think i fit in that shit mobile? LOL 13.5 0-60 time, terrible. You can get the same good ol' gas mileage from america without sacrificing the power

[eckyboyo]

judge... the Fit sport does 0-60 in 9 secs and yes you will fit in it no problem. My son in law is 6'7 and has no problem. They have more room leg and head room than most other mid to large sedans.. Do a test drive ...you might be pleasantly surprized.

[JudgeSteelflax]

fuckhead i don't buy tojos car. 9 seconds sucks! my plymouth fury im lookin at to buy is 4,000 pounds, and could prolly still get better 0-60 time. I won't buy a silly japanese car

[AndresDiazChencho]

The new Fit looks much better than the old one.

[brittonray]

How bout this, the fit looks different than the old one. Its updated, more features and more practical.

[acebladez97]

it looks like a giant rolling sopository.

[HDTopGear]

Don't forget Canada, we call it the Fit too.

[wrzx1337]

That's damn right hybrids suck!

[DanaSaher]

is the Honda Fit called Jazz aswel? or is it a new shape or version!

[Mesuminox]

It's the same car. Just different names. I think Fit is used in the US and Japan, while Jazz is used in Europe and the rest of Asia. Not sure about the rest of the Americas.

[Monopoly909]

Who gives a fuck, fuel prices are going down

[RoidinRichie]

yeah.. for now. they'll go back up tho

[DONNYBOYY28]

who really is going to buy the civic?? whats the point? the civic needs to be the same price as the fit to make sence!

[acebladez97]

it looks better i wouldn't buy the hybrid tho

[aadin]

so they sayin the fit is faster in the 1/4 than the civic?

[braxmed]

26 years!!!!!

[maxnanabas09]

i want a camaro ss even the engine is big and a gas guzzler

[citi0rhythm]

.....the civic use only 1 third of fuel compare to my car...

[chrisw40]

so what do you want a medal

[brittonray]

ok seriously that fit may be practical but it looks like something pikachu would drive, just waaaay too cute for me. Its even cuter than the old one, I might have been inclined to buy that one...maybe. Oh well. Thats my 2 cents

[seroyer2]

I would take the fit any day over the Hybird. 1: it's not a Hybird. 2: the fit is a fun car to drive a lot of fun its surprising how much fun you can have in a fit.

[brittonray]

No doubt, I've actually driven the previous gen its way practical easy to park fun to drive. Im not debating any of that, but man i cant get over the look. Why did they have to make it so it looks like i need boobs to drive it, that's all im saying. Seriously. I dont just see a car as transportation. It's apart of my style. I'd only get this car if i weren't taking style into consideration at all.

[hondaboii89]

Both are beautiful cars. I'd take either of them.

[zoemayne]

26 years to break even lol!! the civic looks better though those performance times are 1950ish. horrible performance.

[prvtpilot]

The batteries won't even last 26 years. You'll have to buy new ones before that, increasing your cost and break-even time. Then good luck getting the car to last 26 years too. I know it's a Honda, but how common are Honda's from 1982? I don't see too many.

This car will be good for people who want to reduce emissions, but for real human beings that do math, the Fit will be the better choice.

[2002j30a1]

you dont see cars from 1982 that often in the first place

[bg1379]

A Civic autmatic gets 36 highway while an auto Fit only gets 35! How is that?

[CZFU3]

Good point, i got a civic EX manual for $18.5k and an aftermarket GPS. With an auto it would have been the same price as the fit. Much better ride overall, and comparable fuel economy. More storage space and folding seats that the hybrid doesnt have, and its a lot faster than either of these cars.

[devildriver024]

these cars are ugly! old skool is the way to go

[ironchopsticks]

these cars are sooo sexy

[filipinofantasy]

Fuel sipping...ugly ass car.

[turbochevynova]

wtf its not even supose to sexy!

[carfan2k2]

better looking than your mom still .. so all is well =)

[moni370]

47 mpg and 32mpg isnt fuel sipping

[justcallmebad]

so then wat is it?

[moni370]

not a fuel sipper a fuel saver

[arsHW]

By fuel sipper, it means it hardly ever 'chugs' the fuel.

[moni370]

dont you relize i wrote that about 2 years ago?

[arsHW]

Your point?
