and is winning quality awards everywhere. It also has 6 airbags and retails for around $13,000 for the LX sedan and $14,195 for the Kia Rio5 sporty hatchback. Both cars come with Kia's 10 year, 100,000 mile Long-Haul Warranty.

Replying to: hals2 (Jul 22, 2006 10:07 am) true, the Fit has a shorter rear leg accomodation, but it offers a big boot for its size. I used the folding seats many times when purchasing furniture. Moreover, the gearbox is a CVT which is smooth and efficient. The road noise certainly offers room for improvement. The engine is refined and quiet at low to medium ranges, but is a bit noisy when pushed. fuel consumption is average. I rarely go below 7,5L/100 and reach 10L/100km in the city. Traffic conditions are awful here in Shenzhen and very nervous. If I had to make the choice once again, I would still make the same choice. I I were in the US, the cheaper price point and the stronger engine of the Versa would make me consider this model much more. but honestly, with the rebates we can get in the US, the same price could buy a well equipped 2.4 Sonata... |

Replying to: jaxs1 (Sep 02, 2006 6:25 pm) I couldn't agree with you more, and boy does that situation stink. And calling Fit "readily available" is some kind of sick joke, right? And side airbags and ABS are pretty hard to find on the Corolla. Which leaves the new Civic, more popular than sliced bread and hard to pry out of dealers' pudgy little fingers for much less than sticker.

Replying to: nippononly (Sep 06, 2006 7:14 pm) Well in January, the new Elantra will be here and that will add another choice. It's supposed to get around 38 mpg highway and street price after discounting will probably start in the range of a Honda Fit. |

Replying to: jaxs1 (Sep 07, 2006 4:59 am) So far, I have no regrets. Commuting mostly backroads, I am enjoying 32 mpg with the automatic transmission while running A/C full time. |
