Considered both. Honda fit may be a fine car but it is ugly. The fiesta is cool but neither costs the same as advertised. A fiesta hatchback I looked at was$ 23k and that wasn't even top of the line. Read all the reviews and they all say the mazda 2 is fun to drive. But they also say its slow and underpowered. Going to test drive one but you can only get so much from a test drive. Wanted to hear from ppl who may have had one and for awhile. Why do ego boxes have to look so girly.
