Automotive Forums  Where Car Enthusiasts Go to Discuss Cars Online

Hi folks,

Anybody own these cars? Good, bad, ugly? They both seem to have lots of things I'm looking for and each offers something that other doesn't... I.E The sunroof on the accent or seat configuration on the fit...

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!  

Having not researched these cars for my own purchase, I can't say which car offers more feature content for the money.  But one thing is for sure, the Honda is a superior piece of engineering, and I think, a more useful car.  

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Accent.  It's efficient, light-weight, and unlike previous Accents, its interior is attractive and well-made.

But the Fit is designed to please where it counts.  As you've already mentioned, its interior configuration is brilliant, and up front, the interior is simple in concept, yet executed with Acura-like levels of fit/finish, materials, colors, and shapes.  It's also a hoot to drive, even if its tiny engine isn't exactly sporting.  Still, the engine is revvy and sweet, something that can't be said for the Accent.
