Its not so much the Fit's fault as it is Honda's for offering nothing beyond it.

With Honda if you want more power, better ride, a nicer look, and more features, while keeping a 5th door you'd have to move on the CRV. And if you want something sporty with a stick to bad.

Yeah, it's a lease -- great deal, too.

Exactly. The Fit is a great little car, but as I approach the age of dirt, I want something a little more. On the other hand, I live in a city, like the feel of a small car. I have no use for a Oldsmobile with an Acura badge.

Good... took you a while to answer that question... were you in the shop getting it some FuggerNuggenPumperSchiezel fixed? ;-)

I had a VeeDub once upon a time.. great car, great handling, perfect to the 10/10ths and then... BAM!

I sort of prefer how Honda does it, they are perfect to the 9/10ths and then you get warnings to back off.

It's amazing that I survived my Scirocco... not fun going into a terminal oversteer because you had to hit the brakes into a mountain road U turn... from 70 to 25... with all four tires sliding the car side ways... a cliff face on the left and a cliff drop on the right.

I didn't pee my pants.. I was too busy thinking that I'd need new tires soon.

Great in the track, not so great on the road.

And the dealers were not the most friendly...

Me: "The steering wheel shakes a little at 70 mph"
He: "The speed limit is 55"
Me: "If I wanted to do 55 I would not have bought a Scirocco"
He: "OK... we'll balance the wheels"

Have fun... but really, the Fit and your Golf R are entirely different type of cars.

For a lease, getting the VW over any Honda/Acura is a no-brainer. For a long term buy, it might be a different story.

Hope you enjoy! And hopefully Honda will have SOMETHING for you to come back to in the future.
