Default Honda Fit to Come in 4 Door Sedan Flavor



will come with either the 1.3 liter or 1.5 i-dsi engines that the jazz/fit already come in and with 2wd or 4wd...it is supposed to appear in Feb 2003

could this be the sub civic competitor honda has been referring to?

The Fit's interior is ages ahead of any other sub-compact's interior. You buy an Echo, Toyota makes you feel ghetto. In this, its just as nice of not nicer than a civic's interior.

I really like the lines on the wagon, even more so than the sedan.

Could give some good competition to the quite frankly fugly Vibe/Matrix.

I just remembered, this is actually pretty old news. We've talked about the Fit/Jazz coming over to fit below the Civic (I think there was a news article about it), and I would love to see it. Honda is missing out on a HUGE segment.

Would you rather have that interior or a Kia Spectra or Toyota Echo interior? Plus the exterior is pretty damn nice looking.

Yeah, I mean those other interiors look like they belong in $100 cars, not $10,000 ones.

As for the exterior, its about as nice as sub-compact can get. I still dont think its all that great looking, but again its the best in that market. I especially like the headlights.

Also, just like the Echo, Suzuki Aero SX, etc etc, those rims look like they are 12 inches big. Thats a down side of a car that so short, yet tall.

wow, considering its competitors, I'd totally prefer to drive that over any other... its styling is decent, the interior is very nice, and I bet that with a set of 16's and a drop, it'd look really nice too!

Just bring the wagon version of Honda Fit over, it will beat Toyota Echo for sure. I assume many many girls would love it's cute look. Yes Honda does need a car for the 1.5L segment in the U.S..

The Echo sucks. Fricken Hyundai kicks its ass. The Fit would be a winner if they brought it here, I hope they do.
