I would be embarrassed to be seen in a fit. They look like a car for a 16 year old girl

Stock.. it is. Once you start modding the **** out of it, it becomes a whole new animal.
But how many people really do a motor swap? Less than 1% of the people who buy it? Maybe a 100th of a percent? Maybe?
Sorry but that thing is ugly.. and slow. Not the two best things to mix together for a car.

Re: (exhaust_note)
Ok a bit off topic here but I'd buy a fit to go with my Si if I could afford to. Drive the fit to work and the Si on the weekends. I think the fit is pretty cool, stock.
My parents have a Civic hybrid and I think the biggest reason they took the Civic over the Prius is that the Prius is fugly.

Re: (BabyCry31)
you can get superchargers for them. and yes stock, not the prettiest car ever, much better looking then the Prius, but i kno most of u guys are not buying a car to keep it stock. right?? if u lower it and some new wheels and other mods, it will look completely different. i would rather buy the Fit over a new civic hybrid and hopefully like *EDIT* TYPE X *EDIT* said they make them hybrid themselves

I would get the Honda... Most likely better resale value... Neither one will be driven hard, or raced by any means so power really isnt a concern... Unless the Toyota had a really comfy interrior, I would say Honda...

Re: (SMoLiK)
why not go buy an old civic for a few grand and use it as a work car and the SI as a weekend car. Goin out and buying a new fit would be rediculous. My 93 gets the same mileage as that ugly dog. Only reason I kept the old car was to use it as a comuter car.

I second that. Any car that's smaller than a Civic, yet big enough inside to have sex in gets my vote.

You know Toyotas are most likely going to have higher reliability and resale than a honda, right? There's a reason why they are the best selling car manufacturer.

Like what? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely interested. They always seemed like "futuristic" to me, like the way the dash is and such.

Perhaps. But Honda is in a very close second and catching up. Toyota offers more vehicles and the Tundra is really starting to catch on. But because a company sells more vehicles doesn't necessarily make it better than another. But it is quite possible.

Thats because its ******* sick I want one.
As for the prius vs civic, mike posted some good points about the prius but all in all the setups are "basically" the same... I would choose the civic because it looks better, is a honda and has a little bit more R &d into it than the toyota does.
Either one serves its purpose as being a "hybrid" just fine tho.

Re: civic hybrid vs. toyota prius (vawn69)
Neither. The mining, refinement, shipping, and assembly of hybrid batteries cause more environmental degradation than driving a car with shitty gas mileage. You'll be doing more good to drive a conventional motor with good mileage, and you'll save a little money off the initial purchase price, as well.
