First pic is almost brochure-like, except for the 2021 high resolution and absence of a mustached gent in corduroy blazer.

How did this car not get used and abused?  It's in remarkable condition and available just in time for $2/litre gas.

F*ck me, talk about a beige state of mind.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I thought this was interesting. Brand new 2020 Honda Fit DX for $20,000. Only issue, and a bit one, no A/C!

I love it when a plan comes together.

More demand for used ones than new ones... We were shopping in that category for my daughter in 2019 and she could have had a bigger car for the price of her Accent... My take: huge demand for small cars but not at new car prices. If Honda had the Fit at 5k$ below Civic, it would have sold better.

This is what I think about when I think of living in Europe, living a tiny, cramped apartment, driving some horrid, soul sucking 70hp compact and I thank the baby jeebus I live in Canada.

Are you kidding me?  That thing's awesome.  It's a time capsule from a bygone era.  The fact that it's in showroom condition is amazing. 

I hope somebody buys it with the intent of preserving it, and not putting too many miles on it, so that it gets saved.  Seriously, how many of these are still around, in any condition at all?

Agreed. Driving the Exige to and from my Edwardian apartment was a nightmare. Bloody small Euro trash cars.  :rofl2:
