Cars comparble to the Honda Fit?

I lost out on a sale for an 2015 Honda LX model today. There just aren't any around me, so finding one that was in my price range and losing it is a little disheartening.

Is there a car that is comparable to the Honda Fit? I liked the way it drove. The seats folded both ways which was convenient. Honda reliability. Back up and right blind spot camera was a nice feature. Push to start even.

I feel like I'm gonna be waiting a very long time to find a Honda Fit, so I'm seeing what my other options are.

Just not a Powershift Fiesta, I suppose.

The Ford Fiesta and Focus are good cars. Just make sure you ONLY get one with a manual transmission. The automatics are hell.

I’d avoid the fiesta like the plague

Not much else out there with that kinda versatility. There’s a reason those are hard to come by.

But if you’re just looking for something reliable around that size, I feel very strongly about the value of Kia/Hyundai. They are the current equivalent to the affordable, fun, and reliable cars that Honda was famous for in the 80s and 90s.

I recently drove a Kia Seltos and was very impressed. And I’ve heard great things about the Soul. Very popular recommendation on this sub.

You might also check out a Ford CMax.

Maybe a HR-V if you want the seat folding system, a Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris or Mazda 3 if you want something a bit more dynamic but still reliable (the Mazda will probably be a bit more expensive than the equivalent Rio or Yaris). The Kia Soul is also very reliable and can fit a lot inside.

Mazda CX-3 ;)

We have a 2016 Fit in the fam and it’s crazy how much crap you can fit in it. I drive it fairly often and it’s a nice little car. I’m really not a fan of subcompacts but its utility is unmatched. It fits WAY more than the 2018 CX-5 I had. In 40K miles, no issues other than little rust spots on the roof. I also don’t like the stupid cover with many fasteners over the oil pan and filter but that’s minor.

I think you’ll have to wait for another Fit to be honest. Sounds like that would make you happiest. Either that or an HR-V. Also.. LX = base model. EX = upper trim with push to start and the Lane Watch camera.

Some models from Scion (Toyota sub brand)

A Mazda2 (or a Mazda3 if you want to move up a size) is fun to drive and pretty spacious. A Fit is a tough car to beat, but Mazda should have better ride and performance at least. Unfortunately every Mazda2 I’ve seen for sale has been lime green, so there’s that.

A Yaris hatch would be similar and a good bit more reliable
