Which one would you rather have. And why?

The Fit sport, you get more for the money.

The Civic DX is about $15k, but it is bone dry.

The Civic. l am a long time Honda owner and appreciate the refinement of the Civic. It is a small car that feels more substantial than it is, benefiting from 35 years of development.
The Fit is a great small car but it feels small.

the fit sport, you will be much happier with the nicer (different) interior, the generally more economical approach

l bought my Fit two years ago and have been very happy with it. If you are downsizing from an SUV, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much stuff you can get into the Fit.

Also, by driving slowly (55-60) on freeway, starting gently, and coasting to stops, l am beating the 34 mpg highway.

l wud get th Fit cuz u get mor 4 ur money. in th other hand, th Civic iz boring, no upgrades.

09 Fit Sport. It has more features than a Civic DX

not the dx civic - it doesnt have a radio or a/c!!!! also doesnt come with power doors/locks but thats not really a big deal .. look online at the standard options of the civic

of the two l would get the fit sport, if you can afford a lx civic l think it would be better. l test drove a 2008 civic and a 2008 fit back in april and like the civic so much better, l fet claustrobic in the fit.
