Topic: $25 000 Honda Fit?

[sailor723]

I don't care much for sill garnish,sport pedals,trim kits etc but I would be interested in a "smallish" car available with decent power (say...1.8 or 2.0L turbo or DI with 180-225hp?),decent suspension and some upscale features (leather,power heated seats,wood trim,power tilt&telescopic wheel,climate control,premium sound system,quality carpet,trip computer,xenon lights,ESC,multiple air bags, etc,etc).....sort of a "mini" Maxima or Accord EX-L. It would be especially interesting if it was offered as a hatch like many of the European cars.

Sort of like a GTI or an Audi A3 then.     

Exactly!....(except without the German reliability issues)

Why oh why can't Honda or Toyota build an Audi ?

Wouldn't that be a sign of the Apocalpse?

Why do people feel they need to "justify" buying a new car?

Because it is a lot of money? and if in a year you feel that you made a mistake your pretty much S.O.L.

Because Honda and Toyota are in the business of building cars that are reliable after their warranties expire.....

You are ignorant my friend, except for civic honda has been constantly loosing shares in other models, civic is the only honda on canada's top 10 cars sold in 2007. The honda's strength was its quality standard- unfortunately that has been slipping. I think civic will lose its no 1 spot in 2008 because I believe toyota coralla sales ending november has been 18% more than honda civic.

"competion?" sells CARS and Honda was outselling MOST.......till the recent FAN_SH*T_FIASCO with no problemo................glad U were not their "Financial ADVISOR!!!".....

Well, if they can justify selling their "old" $25,000 car for $10,000, then pay $20,000 to get a Fit/Yaris so they can save $250 in gas then they're SOL regardless.

It drives me nuts when people try and "justify" a car on some half-baked financial basis when all they wanna do is buy a new car 'cause they want to and they can.  I say if you want to...and you can...have at it and enjoy it!
