Nice!

Though I'm not surprised. The xD is a new model while the Fit first came out 7 years ago oversea.

Both cars are a hit for the younger crowd. You can't go wrong with either one!

But as a previous gen. The fit is like a year old in it's current form.

It's current form is the 5-door hatchback. Japan and other countries have had this model since 2001. Nothing really changed since then. We just get everything late, if not at all

I liked the Honda Fit very much and we compared it against the Civic before purchasing the latter. While it's a clever package and fairly competent, it's just too underpowered with the automatic, which was a requirement because mom refuses to learn 3 pedals. Acceleration is fairly important in our area of SUVs and pickups cruising at 70mph on the freeway, so when I put my foot down, it must go NOW.

I tried starting in 2nd gear at a light in the Fit Automatic via paddle shifters, and by the time it picked up speed the sun had gone down and it was dark out.

Honda just needs to use their K20A in their fit. That would solve most acceleration problems
