Fit and Options and whatnot by shrique

Just to fill in some blanks
 
Spare Tire: The Fit DOES have a spare.
 
Sunroof: None that I know of. I have a 2009 Sport and I didn't have the option of picking one
 
DSC: No DSC on the Fit without navi.
 
Audio Controls: Fit only has steering wheel audio with the navi.
 
The odd thing is that a friend of mine just got a Mini Clubman (non S) with just about all the bells and whistles. He spent almost $10K more than me!
 
If anyone has any questions about the Fit feel free to ask.

"The Clubman ("S" version in my case) is the last hurrah for a gas-only "yippeee" car while still getting Fit-like mileage."
 
But does the Clubman S get Fit-like mileage?

So far it's pretty close. Both cars have an average fuel economy display. So far he's got about 400 miles and I've got 300 or so. I'm getting about 35 and he's getting about 34mpg.
 
He got lots of bells and whistles and his average speed display says he's running an average of about 35mph.
 
So far the answer is yes. (GRIN)

I'm wondering in what sense the Fit handles better than the Mini - ? I drove an '06S Mini with 17" tires last week, and while the ride was harsh, the handling seemed excellent.

Hmm....interesting. This is comparing a Fit to a Clubman S auto? According to the government ratings, there is a sizable difference in city mpg between Fit, and any Mini in S auto guise.....like, 4 - 5 mpg difference.

This is not the S version. Just the Clubman.

The Base Price for a Mini Clubman is $20,850, unless you want a color other than red, white, or yellow, then it will be at least $500 extra for optional paint.
 
The Base Price for a Honda Fit is $15,220.
 
Both include destination.
 
$5,630 base difference.
