Anyone waiting for the Honda Fit?

 

I think a few could be. Hard saying.

 

I needed a car, so waiting another year wouldn't do me any good. I may "upgrade" later down the line...but my mom called me earlier yesterday about the tC..."That Scion tC looks good...one is in front of me right now.." "yeah, it's nice" "awwww, poor miggy..." so there IS a chance!

 

I really like the xA. . . just because it really sticks out on the road, and I've had previous trouble with Honda's. . . but I'd have to see the Fit in person(again).

I saw it when it first came out in Thailand. . . and I wasn't really in the market for these kinds of cars back then, so I didn't really give it a chance.

I've never been let down by the xA *knock on wood* so I don't see a reason to switch.

 

yeah i'd have to see the car in person...

 

dont know abt the fit over in us.. i tried one here... dont think the build is a rigid as scion or ist

just slam the door close on each car.... just listen to the difference in the "thud" sound....

 

I don't really like the way the Fit looks.

The pics in the other thread of the interior is nice, I like the stereo setup, and the auto temperature controls.

I'll keep my xA until I can afford a TDI or a hybrid. :D

 

Don't really get the allure of the Fit myself. To each their own, but the reason I'm drawn to the xA is the lines of the outside, and the styling of the interior. The Fit doesn't do a thing for me in either category. Granted, the xA doesn't have the most plush interior in the world, but for the price point and in comparison to the Fit's, I'll take it over anything else out there.

I have 15K to spend, and I don't need a car immediately. However, nothing available today or tomorrow intrigues me half as much as the xA; I plan on keeping it for a long, long time.

 

I had a chance to drive a Fit for a marketing research survey. While I was taking it for a spin, the sterring column suddenly became very heavy. The research guy with me said to pull over, switch off the car and switch it back on, at which point I asked him if Microsoft started building cars for Honda. He said that the electro-hydraulic steering sometimes shuts off, but they hope to have it ready for production. Overall the tranny was a whole lot smoother than my xA, the acceleration a little better and the cornering a little better. If it were released here at the same time as the xA's, it would have been a very tough choice.

 

I would need to see the list of stand things & what things come as options. With this being honda, I dont think it will come standard with A/C or if it does, it might go for only a little less then the Civic.

 

i would buy the fit if i had some money sitting around but for the money i would get the xb over it but when the new Mercedes-Benz Vision B comes out i think i will let the xb go depending on the price of the benz

 

well the a-class is around 25k and thats bigger then the a-class so possibly 27k+

 

nothing's as beautiful as an xA... that honda fit is just lackin... "umph" which the scion has plenty of

 

I can't believe people are considering the 'Fit'! It's a weak design aimed towards people who aren't worried about image! The soft curves remind me of a damn Aveo!

 

i agree, the fit is busted... if anything that would be a "downgrade to a honda", i like hondas but the fit is simply ugly

 

super street said that the fit and the toyota vitz are coming to the US soon

HAHA

 

That makes absolutely no sense to bring the Vitz to the US.

If they are worried about competition outside of the Scion/Toyota name bringing in an internal competition just doesn't seem smart.

 

Oh man, I dont really see that as an upgrade. Lookswise, the xA is like 10x cooler. No contest.

 

Goddamn... y'all Fit haters be trippin' on some sheeot. Haha. I love the look of the xA... I think the front fender, headlamps and sides are brilliantly executed, but the tail lights irk me for some reason. I think it's the gray circle inside the red that looks like it doesn't know what to do.

The Fit is definately more unique looking... let's not forget, the xA is essentially a Matrix that went through a "Babality." The xA has a cuter ___ than the Jazz, though.

But the main point is... the Fit is far more better designed as far as the interior. The flip up/flip down rear seats are brilliant. And remember, the Fit was the UK's Car of the Year in 2002... and those Europeans know their subcompacts.

The xA is awesome, but could have been much better executed. I await the Fit.

 

tha fit looks like do do,i am going to pitch a fit hondas suck!
