Exterior styling: The 2009 Honda Fit is significantly longer than previous models and offers a greater feeling of spaciousness while at the same time offering good visibility

Materials & workmanship: The interior materials are high quality and do not feel cheap. The transmissions shift lever pops into gear very smoothly and the steering wheel feels very positive in the hands.

Materials & workmanship: Interior felt very cheap and uncomfortable. The shift lever felt sloppy and sort of squished into gear.

Dealership practices: The local Toyota dealership completely ruined my buying experience. Not only were they especially forceful but also tried to tried to insult Honda and other car companies.

Exterior styling: It looked like it was grown on the ugly tree, fell off, and hit every branch on the way down.
