I agree the Fit will be good on fuel economy and resale value, however I have driven this car (rented) and drove my GF's car (she bought one 4 weeks ago) and I personally did not like it. Chicky/girly looking car, underpowered, slow acceleration (especially with an automatic), uncomfortable seats and the A/C wasn't powerful enough. We've had a '96, '97, 2000 Civics and currently a 2005 is being used by my father and an '03 Celica, I never liked them (performance or styling). The only good thing was fuel economy. I wouldn't go so far as to stating they are better on reliability as that is a personal thing (depends how the car is treated, driven and if maintained properly).
Our family used to have a 1966 GM Beaumont which was passed down to me (over 1,000,000 MILES, not KM's) and then we sold it. That is an example of reliable. I guess I prefer domestic cars.
To each their own. Everyone has their own preference. That's why one automaker doesn't have 100% of the market.
Hope you enjoy your purchase.
