Hell yeah! Though the Yaris comes in 2 door... which is kinda cool. Though I saw a big dude in a Yaris yesterday, and he just looked stupid.
The Fit isn't the greatest looking, though it's growing on me. Of all the dinky Japanese cars out there, I'd have to say it's the best looking of the bunch. The Yaris looks like a Daewoo, the Aveo IS a Daewoo, the Versa is ok... probably my next favorite...

I like it Deev. The Sport would have still been a bit better.

Originally posted by deevergote. View PostYeah, I passed a Prius today, and it was covered in "I'm so great because I drive a hybrid" stickers. I thought to myself... they're getting a few more MPG than me, but their batteries are going to have to be replaced at some point... and that's not cheap at all! Then those old batteries are going to have to be disposed of... and there's no real eco-friendly way to do that yet. My car is better for the environment Take into account the higher cost of maintaining a hybrid, and the higher initial purchase price, it's going to take me quite a while to spend more than I would in a hybrid with my less efficient car.
Let's see, by my calculations you would save about $600 over 100K at $3 per gallon. Considering that the real world premium on a hybrid is usually at least several $K beyond the cost of the equivalent gas car, you are looking at something like 200-300K to even break even on the extra cost. At $4 per gallon, you would save about $700. It is highly unlikely that you would ever recoup that extra cost, especially when you consider that the Fit Sport is about $17K ($19 with nav) and the Prius is much closer to $30K. By the time you even got close to making the difference, the batteries would have probably been replaced several times, which could get REALLY expensive.
Even though the ultra-liberal hippy crowd would have you believe that hybrids are the solution to all of the worlds problems, they really haven't thought things through, as cars like the Fit make much more sense both financially and environmentally. It really is a fashion statement.
It is highly possible that if the new Insight sells for just over $20K like is predicted, it could heavily change that dynamic, but as is, the next most promising technology is hydrogen, bar none, hands down.

my dad just saw these pictures and recognized the car. He said he towed one that was in an accident. Story goes that a beemer rear ended it going eighty mph and now the driver of the fit was in the hospital with the rear bumper lodged in the dash board.
FIT IS GO!

As for Sam... I needed the car ASAP, which is why I went all the way to West Chester to get it! Burns had nothing for me, and the salesman I talked to REALLY pissed me off (not Gersh, but another guy that called me). I told him what I wanted, and he made no effort to accommodate me. No offer to do a dealer trade, or try to find one. No offer to order one. Just said "nope, sorry... they're in high demand so the price won't be low, and we don't have any of those." Then he tried to sell me a used car, which I had already explained my reasons for why I didn't want to go that route!

I have a small rock chip on my windshield, and a couple chips in the hood... nothing that I can't fix. So far, after nearly 5,500 miles, it's doing pretty good!

Deev, please boost the hell out of it. Nothing like a tiny squirrely looking thing blasting down the street!
