Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 15, 2007 9:05 am) a little misleading to include that under the category of mechanical reliabilty. build quality would be better. when I hear mechanical qualitly I tend to think powertrain, not a loose trim piece.

Replying to: bobw3 (Oct 15, 2007 9:05 am) Problem I'm having is that the Catagories of Overall Quality Design and Performance Design seem to suggest Design being the factor. Seems to me the DESIGN, function and performance of the area behind the front seats is worthy of a lot more than a 3. Actually the function of the entire car is! One exception would be the drivers seat would benefit with a way to raise it.  Keeping in mind some of their "Best Initial Quality" vehicles! Kip |

If you want more opinions on the Versa vs Fit, scroll through some of the blogs on the two cars. It's apparent that one is liked a lot more than the other. http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests |

Replying to: cloned (Apr 17, 2007 4:01 am) 1. I preferred the smooth running engine of the Vtec engine to the Versa's 4 banger . While accelerating in the Versa's 1.8sl CVT, i noticed an annoying howl from about 3800rpms up that I didn't like. 2.The steering felt detached from the road as compared to the Fit's excellent and precise feel. The Versa was a little more "comfy" on the road but not enough to sway my decision.( I wanted to test a six speed but they had none on the lot.) 3. The interior cargo configurations on the Fit wins hands down. 4. The engine on the Fit had plenty of power as long as you weren't afraid to be liberal with the free revving Vtec. (I drove a MT) If you did not know the size of the engine on the Fit and was asked to guess , how many people would say a 1.5 liter? At highway speeds above 65 the engine was surprisingly smooth even above 3500 rpms. I was concerned about people saying it was too "buzzy". 4. I plan on getting the Fit Sport MT and it comes with a good deal of features that you would have to shell out $ with other cars as option packages. Yes, the Versa has an armrest and foot rest-still not swayed. I heard you can get an armrest on E Bay. Overall I think the Fit is more "sporty" and fun to drive vs. the Versa which is more for sedate cruising and errand running. 5. Its an Honda, I 've owned five of them and all were reliable. I hope this helps....

Currently in the market for a daily commuter, mostly highway (70-75 mph) that not only gets good highway mileage but will pull utility duty on the weekends. I have heard that the Versa may be a more comfortable ride on the highway than the Fit but that the Fit gets better mileage. I would appreciate any Fit or Versa owners with an opinion on this matter!

| After reading all of the posts on the Versa and Fit forums, I'm glad I bought my Fit nearly 2 years ago. Better MPG, better interior versatility, better quality, etc. | |
