He can carry it (Aveo) around in the back (of the Titan) for a spare...

 

Don't want to hold out for the new '09 Fit? Should be out in a few months.

 

1st year run h:

 

35mpg in the civic is the only reason i haven't sold it yet....the van...well, mpg sucks.

 

What is it with people wanting to buy that car

 

Go drive it and find out.

 

I know right, they should just invest in a Canadian car

 

My friend got a sport with the 5spd. It handled really nice, but it was way underpowered. I suppose 5 people in a fit will make it reaaaal slow. I never really got to give it a run with less people.

On the flip side, it comfortably fit 5 people with weekend gear for a ~5 hr drive. It wasn't geared too well for the highway... i remember being @ almost 4k RPM @ 70... my accord is more like 2900 @ 70. Small gas tank, too. It got similar milage to my Accord on the highway (right around 33).

It's perfect for a city commuter. Parallel parking is a breeeeeeeeeze. Real versatile too. I'd rock one to cruise around the city. I'd probably rather get a used mini cooper S before the fit though.

I drove out to the interstate today on business and my car was almost out of gas, I got there and it was $4.35 for 91. I was like "fuck that," and decided to drive back to town, and if I ran out of gas, I'd just walk or hitchhike. Luckily I made it and saved a whopping $6 on the tank h:

And as to why get the current fit over the new one? I think the current one looks better personally. But definitely get the sport. I've actually been putting a little thought into a Fit too, but I think I'd get more mpg for my money by buying tires that hold air. h:

 

To be honest the manuals get better mileage than the automatics even being at 4k RPM in 5th (I think the speed he was at was 80) . I'm at 3k when in 5th and 70mph but they still get better mileage than the manuals on the highway. The Fit basically teaches you to drive slower or get to cruising speeds later, cause you have a slow vehicle, but it's versatility is astronomical. I moved out of my college apt in one trip in that car, bicycle, chair, desk (disassembled) computer, all my clothes, television and snowboard. I get around 34 mpg driving to LA back daily (80 mile round trip traffic infested). In addition the fact that is has side-impact and bags in the seats was awesome too for its price.
