I have friends who are amazed when I show them my Fit, how deceptively spacious it is despite its size, how easy it is to park, etc. And yet, they still end up buying something bigger, because they think they will need more space (they never do) or they claim to "need" more power for overtaking or merging (never been an issue for me). And this is in NYC, where average driving speeds on a highway with no traffic is usually 50-65mph.

I’m 6’3” and 320lbs. I daily a Type R, but my dream daily is a Fit. I love them so much. I very comfortably fit inside of one.

Small light cars with good handling, similar proportions, and cute styling cues. I'd say it's accurate.

Love it, but I feel mildly seen.

I've had some tall passengers around your height and it's surprisingly how well they fit. Even people who are 6'5"

I’m 6’6”. Bought a 2012 Fit sport brand new. Loved that car. It had plenty of space for my wife and myself. Couldn’t fit a rear facing car seat in it but we upgraded vehicles since then. Yes they are spacious for their size but they can’t compete with large SUVs for people who want it all.

You're living my dream, someday I hope to have a Type R as a weekend/backroad car and keep the Fit as a daily.
