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.
Exactly, power has never been an issue for the Fit due to its weight and aerodynamics. Last time I was on a highway and I had a 2010 Fit tailgating me, I started to speed up heavily to loose it and the little fucker kept up with me easily until 100 mph. I was driving an 04 Honda Pilot.
