What do u guys think of the new honda fits?? Do u think a lot of people will bein pimpin them? i kno Mugan did a supercharged Fit. But they say the Compact Scene is goin to blow up in the next 10 years.... (Scion xA, Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris...)

 

I think that people will be "pimping" thier Honda Fits. People will pretty much try and modify any car. The second thing is that this is Hondas new econobox, so its cheap and younger people will be buying it for the price. If you drive a civic, you know the need to upgrade and the Fit will have an ever bigger need since it uses an even weaker engine. I don't know about the Sport Compact scene blowing up in the next 10 years. On the one hand, the sport compact scene has been pretty hot for a while now so it would have to re-blow up. On the other hand, with the rise of fuel prices smaller cars with smaller engines will be coming out.

 

my dealership got 6 fits in today i drove a fit sport auto with the paddle shifters on the sterring wheel it drove good but its under powered it has a lot of room handles good but the msrp was $ 16.556 i thought it was over priced i just gave $17.779 for the accord vp sedan 2.4 i-vtec 5-speed manual

 

True story.. But im keepin my civic for now and when im done with college i wanna buy a S2000 or a new civic Si. the Fits are great cars on fuel like u said but there engines are too small.

 

If the Fits really cost around 16K, then they are way overpriced. Especially since the engine makes like 100HP. Paddle shift doesn't impress me, its a disguised auto trans.

 

yeah i know i wasn't impressed and at $16.556 you can get a civic or a vp accord like i said i drove one its a good gas saver kind of its rated at 32 city - 38 hwy well hell my 93 dx coupe gets 35 city -40 hwy so i will keep the civic and accord not saying the fit is a bad car

 

I like the Fit, I just wish the Insight would have got a R18, ditched the rear fenders dropping so low and a CRX badge.

 

16K is too much. with gas going where it is, people will want to check them out, but not at that price.

 

It really don't get any better than the civic which is rated at 30-40.

 

When I first saw this thing on honda.com the price was quoted at between 13 and 14 thousand. Great I thought Honda's gonna kick a$$ with a deal like that on a new car. Well when they finally came in the dealer quoted 15250.00 plus acouple of hundred for add ons,carpets,delivery charge,dealership owner pi$$ing on right rear wheel fee,you get the idea. Anyway it came out to 16400.00.That's no bargain,especially when it has 109 hp. So we will buy an 04 civic with 20000 miles and all the bells and whistles for 11500.00 . Still keeping the hatch though,never sell that. Hate to say it but Honda really dropped the ball on this one.
