I've spent time with both my Buick and my fiancee's Fit. I like both cars equally. And I'm eyeing a Malibu for when my Buick needs replacing. So I'm still somewhat clear-headed.
Yes, the Fit is a very nice car. And so is the Cobalt my friend has. The Fit was $5k more than the Cobalt, and was it worth $5k more? To my fiancee, it was. I just said "Yes, dear" and dropped the debate.
We did a lot of cross-shopping and comparing of small cars out there. For what we needed right then and what we would need in the future, the Fit was what we came back to.
Also, the blasted Fit is nice enough and expensive enough so she won't complain about routine maintenance! That alone is worth the higher purchase price!
