Wrong, wrong and wrong.
Honda Fit - 109 HP
Mini Cooper S - 168HP
The Mini clearly has more horsepower.
Honda Fit - 2,551 lbs
Mini Cooper S - 2,678 lbs
The Mini weighs a little more.
Honda Fit - 9.3 sec 0-60, 17.1 sec 1/4 mile
Mini Cooper S - 7.0 sec 0-60, 15.5 sec 1/4 mile
The Mini is faster, much faster.
Worse milegae? True, but 25/32 isn't bad either. No interior volume? Obviously you haven't sat in a Mini. Despite its small size, it has a spacious interior.

Worst post of the day. Cliff notes: They decide to cancel the order for the Fit to buy an FJ Cruiser. Then the drama in between.

Dude you are freaking rich MAN!!!

Rich people dont care about gas,maintenance,and the last but not the least INSURANCE,theres a big difference insuring a $ 22,000-$25000 car compare to$16,000-$18000 car.But in my opinion FIT is one of the best bang for your money compare to MINI,Oh i forgot to include theres a word called RELIABILITY unfortunately MINI doesnt have it,in 2003 MINI has transmission problems,Who cares? not you ,MAV,youre rich!!!

MAV, congrats on the FJ! That may very well be our second vehicle, too, if we decide to forego another Pilot. We need something in this size to haul our kids and their stuff. A minivan is out of the question cause the roads flood too much in Houston.
Couldn't wait for the next M3, eh? lol Hopefully, you won't have too much trouble with the RS4. But otherwise, congrats on another great ride!!!

We purchased something that we are totally happy and satisfied with.
Now, why is that so hard to understand?

I understand, you are happy with the FJ, the moderators are happy with their cars (?); I’m happy with my Fit. Good times.
#72
I think it's always interesting to hear what people end up buying and why, especially when the people buying have been posting for a while.
Sorta completes the circle, ya know?

You must really be envious of Fit owners to go to such extremes, LOL.

Oh and all you people need to STFU. I hate when people think their car is the ultimate vehicle. We have a Fit, we like our fit. but it's NOT as fun as a mini-cooper S. It's not NEARLY as fast as a mini S. The Fit drives well and I "suppose" you could do 0-60 in 8.5 seconds if you roasted the crap out of the clutch and nailed the shifts flawlessly. The Fit is NOT a fast car. It's fun, handles well, but it's NOT fast. Stop smoking crack people and appreciate the car for what it is.

woah
Wowww this definately got pretty heated. All cars have their pros and cons. Honestly, when i started to read this post, I myself wondered why someone would come in a and talk about why the fit is so inferior compared to all these other cars. I say if the fit works for you and thats the car you wanna buy because you love it hey, get it. If you have the means to spend more to get something more luxurious, go for it. If I had some dolla's I would probably get a luxury car with some decent gas mileage (and perhaps a fit too so i can mod it up!).
Originally i was gonna get a vibe, then the civic ex or the fit and then came the mighty mazda 6. Its all about what you want and what you can afford. All in all, there are plenty of reviews as to why people don't buy cars. Thats why there are also comparison tools. This is a fit forum created for people who like them. If people wanna compare other cars thats ok, but geeze keep the info (good or bad) civil and constructive.
(I agree on a previous post talking about comparing the fit to that suv. Seriously what's the point?)
Anyways thats enough of my rambling. I need to get out more
ramble ramble ramble!

Ask your wife,which one she prefer? a car that is fun to drive or a car that is reliable for everyday use,i have a posche 911 but its not reliable like my honda civic 1989(275,000 miles plus )its only a matter of choice man,just because its a MINI (made by BMW) it doesnt mean its better than FIT,In my opinion its how you drive your car and how you take care of your car,( e.gchange oil,tune-ups)

However to answer your original question, based on our automobile selection, our choice is clear. Lets have fun.
