I find it very hard to beleave you cant find a fit at my local dealer they got 25 of them. Why dont you look a few states over and just drive there and come back driving.

I drive an IS300 and I don't think I've ever gotten below 20 mpg. But I do agree with you on the traction control. That thing bugs the heck out of me. The traction control in my S4 was perfect. If you're car started sliding it would just kind of nudged you back in place. In the IS300 it cuts the throttle and you lose power then you get stuck in the snow because you're going to slow. Stupid DBW.

Since you won't go for the Civic SI I vote for the fit. I would never buy one because I'm too prideful, but I still think they're cool cars.

There's a guy here in Dallas that autocrosses his Fit and just tears up the course. He's in HS so he can only change the tires and struts...

If I had to get a small commuter I'd be taking a hard look at one.

Thanks for the suggestions but we went out and found a TSX with everything we wanted and a great deal so we had to ****** it up. Averaged 36mpg on our way home and she only got lost 3 times with the navi ON lol.

I was going to say a RSX, but you want a 4 door.

TSX with 6-speed and Navigation

The Nav system is great, and I've heard that the 6-speed is a great transmission.

I did not read this thread at all, but by far the best chick car is the Jetta. It is a well known fact that hot chicks drive jettas, and by putting your girl in one you are solidifying the fact that all your buddies will stare at your girl whenever she's around and shake their heads when you proudly smile

I bought my wife a 2006 Jetta GLI DSG. Twin-clutch transmission that can be driven in auto or manual, then tint, chip, intake, exhaust, and lower it, uber sexy, decent car. DO IT.

J is hotttt, but think about how hottttt she'd be if she drove a jetta. It'd be off the charts. It's too bad, she has a lot of potential.

I dunno if the summer sale is still going on anymore though.
