Fits are sick. If you don't plan on modding the car for performance I would go for the Fit. Make sure you get a manual though, the paddle shifters aren't all they are cracked up to be, and the car would get kinda boring IMO if it were an auto.

Fit! If you don't plan to mod or race go with the one that is newer, get better MPGs, and has cargo space. The first gen Fits look sick when lowered, tinted, and have rims and stuff.

My friend daily drives a Fit sport with a manual transmission. He is very happy with it. Even with a set of springs it still rides very nice. He constantly boasts his 38 MPGs and has put almost 30,000 miles in a little over a year with no problems.

Regardless of what each of us say, go out and test drive them! Test drive like 15 Fits and as many used RSXs as you can find. After about the 9th test drive you will know if you are still just as excited to drive it as the first time!

Jeebus....waste time much? Really...15 fits?

A nice 15 minute test drive in each one with freeway access should do the trick....testing 15 cars of each would be a HUGE waste of time for everyone involved...including the sellers...tire kickers suck

I traded my RSX Type S in for a used Honda Fit. I love the fit - it's sporty with the 5-speed and gets better gas mileage than the RSX and uses regular gas. The RSX Type S uses premium gas and doesn't have a lot of room for passengers in the back seat where the Fit is more practical and has lots of room for passengers and cargo. I did love driving the RSX but don't miss it now.
