Re: $20,000 gift for new car
My '99 Civic Si was around 3300-3350 @ 60 mph. I got used to it after a while, but I don't think I could go back.

Re: $20,000 gift for new car
I do hate the gearing in the manual version. The Fit really needs a 6-speed. The auto is has a slightly taller final drive ratio and a much taller 5th gear.

Re: $20,000 gift for new car

Re: $20,000 gift for new car
The Fit's front seats are really comfy on the long haul. The manuals have a driver-side armrest. You can get them from the dealer for automatics. The best testament to their comfort is that in...

Re: $20,000 gift for new car
I agree with this assertion. I have 3 family members with Fits, and they've all been outstanding. I have one family member with an Aveo, and that thing has shed parts quickly enough that they parked...

Re: $20,000 gift for new car

Re: $20,000 gift for new car
there's a LOT you can do with $20K. If you like the Hondas, A base Insight will probably run slightly more. Honda also has a new Civic HF (41 mpg highway) that will be coming out soon as a 2012...
