fit vs hybrid

[DreamN]

hybrids get carpool lane, but you face looking a everywhere you go. at least with the fit the girls will be like "awwww" and think you're sensitive and trendy

And the guys will think that your gaf.

And kick your ass.

But hey, maybe you'll get sympathy from the girls. Or they'll run away with the guy that beat you up since they realized that your a pussy.

OP I think you should get a hybrid.

"For 2009, Honda has stretched the Fit's wheelbase by 2 inches and moved the A-pillars forward by 5 inches, adding to the car's interior space."

"The 2009 Honda Fit will be more than 2 inches longer and three-quarters of an inch wider than the original"

i may be in the market for a beater car too and have been researching. the
2009 fit is going to be redesigned too. its kind of uglier, but a little roomier.




"Fit that the automaker hopes will even better suit the American automotive tastes because it is longer, wider and more powerful."

i like the more interior room part, but being more powerful, means less mpg, which is one of reasons for me to buy it.


i like the yaris too, but too bad it didnt come in 5dr form.

my points into buying a beater are:
*relatively new w/ little to minor maintenance
*mpg, mpg, mpg (30+ is ideal)
*large rear interior for hauling shit (i have a van, but it's annoying to take out the seats everytime i have to pick up something and it gets less than 20mpg)


the fit is ideal b/c of the "magic seats" system and gets high mpg. the seats fold down and i won't have to get someone to help me take them out and put them in like I do with my van. the downside is that it's not big enough to put a hood in, but how often do i pick those up? it can easily fit some seats, bumpers, or other large items.

the current fit looks ok too, but next year's model will be a bit bigger which is a plus. next year model looks a bit uglier though, but i think i wouldn't mind the trade off for being a bit bigger inside. (ill be able to manuver things easier) but if it gets crappier gas mileage, i would have to side with the current generation fit.

I don't think you can get the carpool sticker any longer, at least for new hybrids out in socal. someone should start forging those stickers.

thanks for all the input. I know its only been a few hours but with your comments I feel more comfortable going with the fit. I still have a few weeks untill I make the next purchase, but really leaning towards the cbr There was a segment on the news today in regards of the increasing sales of motorcycles, theyve mentioned the CHP course for newbies and im really syked about that if I take this route..
