Handles pretty well.Lots of room,spunky around town but a dog on a highway merge or passing.Just like the wife's CR-V.
Disappointing MPGs for a car of this size at 27/33.No temp gauge?
That is all!

I believe the Fit/Jazz (GEx) is a superb subcompact vehicle. In fact, if you ask my opinion, I prefer it over the Yaris hatchback imho

Just my two cents

The loaner I had was black and the higher end Sport model with paddle shifters,alloys,moon roof for a sticker of $17,700 which is not bad. I think the moon roof was a dealer installed option.Sort of looked like it but maybe not.
Fit and finish was superb.Comfortable seats and plenty of cargo room with the back seat down.Back seat sitting room wasn't bad also.
Odd no temp gauge and locking fuel door.
Bad points are the MPGs,fairly loud on the highway,body design is a bit ugly but outside of the MINI,just about everything is in the subcompact class to me.

MMarshall,no side moldings to protect against dings.

The fit is a very impressive little car, well, best B-segment you can buy for the money.
