I agree. I finally had a chance to sit in one at the car show last month. Interior was pretty nice. It was on par with the low end Nissans, Hondas, and Toyotas. The select AWD feature is pretty cool too. The only downside is the MPG. I don't think it gets above 30mpg though.



Another good one to look at is the 5-door Rabbit. I've had my 3-door Rabbit for about a year and we've already put 14k miles on it. Not one single issue. The 2.5l 5-cylinder is pretty fun and the car handles like no other in the price range (we added European GTI springs and had the steering controls recalibrated to match the GTI...makes for an even more nible hare). The interior and overall build quality blows away pretty much all other sub-$20k cars.


I've owned a Fit. Interior was garbage and the paint was crap...which is why I only owned it for about 5.5 days. The Fit is god awefully slow too.

My friend's sister got the "SWT" Reno, and she has blown two engines, and had the transmission replaced twice.

It's quite ridiculous for a two year old car.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
