They're kind of shitboxes. Not fun. Maybe a hair fun with a manual? Unlikely.

Not even in the slow car slow kind of way? I should test drive one someday just so that I don't keep putting my foot in my mouth. Seems like it should be a better car then I'm hearing.

Nissan, say no more. Versa... ooof... I didn't think it could get worse, then you pulled out the worst Nissan.

I am truly sorry.

Well it's got a manual, interior space management is amazing, and it's probably more reliable, I consider it if I was on a versa budget.

The :manuel: "Sport" model versions actually were quite a bit of fun to throw around in a slow car fast kind of way.

The autos and base cars were terrible to drive. My wife had a second gen one when we met, I couldn't stand it.

:lolol: i watched doug demuro's review on it and mitsubishi dillers literally discount these cars for 40% off the showroom brand new, cause no one want those things. A used or new base civic or corolla is more bang for your buck in comparison without being embarrassed by being seen in one

The sport model doesn’t have a rear sway bar anymore. Nope. They’re vans. Utility vehicles that are good at just being a basic dependable usable vehicle but they’re crap otherwise.

You want a fun hatchback that is new ? Honda Civic, preferably in sport trim. It may be a tiny bit less space efficient, and a bit more money but it is also not a hideous lifeless box meant to simply wither away in a shitty apartment under 2" of tree sap and bird shit on oil that hasn't been changed in 30k miles.

If the argument of "it's more than a Fit" so much more money comes in... that's bullshit, go used and go with a Fiesta ST for 15k. If you can't even spring that, you should have a bus pass and need to re-prioritize what you require in a vehicle.

It also has more plastic cladding on it than an 80's Pontiac. :impressive:

It drives nice. And it looks better than a breadbox, with a a 100hp 1.5 liter NA shitbox Motor that belongs into a blender. :drunk:

I honestly haven't paid attention to Honda in years. The designs are pushing the worst in the industry...nearing Chevrolet standards.

Ugh, agree, except for the new Accord. I actually think they did a beautiful job with that car, inside and out. Every time I see a Sport model out in the wild I find it catching my eye.
