the Fit is the slowest car in the world... outside of an old sohc civic. its actually faster than those cars. 107hp is basically nothing. I didn't need speed... my truck is fast enough and I have a race car for God sake.
We HUNTED cargurus and other searches for a deal. for whatever reason, they want a premium for a "sport" though it only gets you a body kit, slightly better sound, and cruise control. but there are still deals out there... I will say, most of the cars what were a deal did have an accident... if you care.
the L series motors in the Fit will do 300k miles with a standard 10k mile synthetic oil change apparently. the forum kids preach the maintenance... follow it and it will last "forever." Manuals are a rare bird in this chassis... at least for sale. it seems like most people just keep the car and they don't often go to the secondary market until they are HIGH mileage.
IMHO its a great little car if you have a kid. part of the reason we got the Fit was because of the nephew and aging family (you should see my 4.5 foot tall aunt try to get in the Tundra). it has a 60/40 rear seat... carry the kid and still drop the seat to carry more stuff.
in my research, for under 60k miles, 4 doors, reliable, etc... the Fit is the best deal out there. Conveniently I'm a Honda fanboi too
