Yes, I looked hard at the Fit when I traded my Mazdaspeed 3 for a Mazda 2 last summer. Problem is they advertise 30+ MPG but in Houston traffic with the A/C on and fully loaded with samples on I45 at 70mph they struggle to get 30MPG!! Then the Mazda 3 comes out with a six speed transmission and the Skyactiv 2 liter 4 cylinder and actually gets 39MPG under those driving conditions I described above! The car has 12.9 compression ratio, reduced weight by 300 lbs over old car, direct fuel injection and runs on regular unleaded. I was a Honda fan until they did the CRZ in a hybrid. At that point they lost me. I owned a 91 CRX SI (wish i still did), a 2004 Civic Si, a 2007 4dr SI and then switched to Mazda when Honda went crazy pushing hybrids and stopped making the S2000. Mr. Honda must have rolled over in his grave when the CRZ came out a hybrid.
