nice thanks ..

I really like the honda idea of folding up the bench... it created awesome space...

I am affraid they priced it too high for success in the US (starting at $14k ) but I like the little bugger.. good option to have on the market.

Yea me and the fiance are debating between this and the aveo for our daily driver. The aveo starts at 9 but being chevy starting at 9 i'm sure it's very cheap and crappy. I'd rather go w/ the honda and have decent and reliable.
 
I test drove the Si(which was wayyyyy out of price range) and the EX which is the step below. Was a very roomy car. Loved the seats and the shifting was very smooth and responsive. The 197hp Si blew me away. Thing was very fast! I mean I scared the crap out the guy that took me on a test run. So when we got back we ran some numbers and there was just no way, thats when I tested the EX. I decided not to get that and keep looking due to driving the si, the EX just didnt give me the wow factor. It is 140hp and isnt very peppy. Plus they didnt have the rebates like I got on my ST. Still very nice cars overall.

Word of advice, dont drive the Si and then the EX. You will never want one, lol!

The Fit in Mexico was advertised at having 109 horses. Even with less weight I doubt that it can compete with 140 horses and definitely not with 197.

Unless the U.S. Fit comes equipped differently I doubt that flat out performance will be a selling point. Probably the biggest point will be the roominess and close to 40mpg.
