Comparison Test: 2007 Honda Fit Sport vs. 2008 Scion xD

Video Title :	Comparison Test: 2007 Honda Fit Sport vs. 2008 Scion xD
Description :	Kids today, eh? The 2007 Honda Fit Sport and 2008 Scion xD are meant to grab the attention of a generation that knows how to play it loud. These cars are supposed to be all about watts, speaker count and iPod inputs. Yet they are both so sensible that you'd swear the coveted Gen-Y market was filled with aging no-bones consumers more interested in price and practicality than loud music. And in fact, older drivers are proving to be just as enthusiastic about sensible, stripped-down cars as younger drivers.

They both suck, get a better job and buy a real car,spring for the civic or accord, best ride and enough horses to get the job done!

Whats the diferrence between the Honda Jazz and The Fit??is there???

same car just different name in different countries. Has been sold in US for 2 years. Just bought one a few weeks ago and no issues except doesn't have center armrest. A local Honda dealer sells an aftermarket one for $119 so I have purchased one. Have been getting around 33 mpg.

My XD (with just over 1800 miles on the od) just logged 296.8 miles on 7.359 gallons of regular(87 octane) fuel. You'll find that averages out to 40.3 mpg 80% hwy 20 %city averaging 60 mph (city mileage included)the tank before that averaged 35mpg 50/50. And let me tell you the extra 2 or 3 mpg aren't enough to sacrifice the 19 extra ponies under the hood for the 1.8lb minimum less per hp power to weight ratio. (22.31 Fit, 23.06 Fit Sport, 20.5 XD) Sorry but the Fit is the inferior product here.

The Fit has a quick steering ratio, excellent brake feel, and one of the slickest gearboxes I've ever had the pleasure of using. Like all Toyota products, the xD is boring to drive and has absolutely no soul. The xD probably has a Corolla shifter assembly, which is total crap. I didn't even get into how awful the visibility is in your Scion. My fit recently got 47mpg on a trip to the Adirondacks, driving at about 60 mph. it also got 39 on a recent tank that was 100% city driving.

Who the fuck give a damn about the gearbox in a honda ECONOBOX? LOL!!! It's a fucking WOMAN'S car. Go wrap your stupid minivan around a tree moron.

Real mature pal. Just for the record, can you even drive a car with a manual transmission? Or for that matter, do you even have your driver's license?

Paddle shifter on a woman's minivan called a Honda Fit... Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! Quick steering ratio? For what, so you can avoid hitting the shopping cart after leaving the grocery store? LOL! Pathetic econobox car drivers.

Way to avoid the question dimwit: do you have your driver's license?

Review after review the Fit loses. LOL! I'd rather pay the $600 extra and get a better stereo system and a better engine. The Fit doesn't have any competing models within the Honda line up. The xD has to compete in sales with its siblings, the Yaris hatch and the Yaris sedan. Add all 3 together and they'll drown the fit in sales. I'd rather have a modern styled hatchback than a mini minivan.
