I think the top comment may have been a bit harsh. Edmunds statement matches the EPA estimates, which is based on 'typical' trips. If you're getting higher MPG, then you're probably a careful driver.However, their Prius estimates does seem a bit low as the Prius is supposed to get 50MPG in the city. Regardless, the end results are really the same: Edmunds is right in that the Fit offers much better value. The Prius is great, but the sticker price kills it.

I have a Fit - not as luxurious or quiet as the Prius but cheaper to maintain, cheaper to buy, more fun to drive (especially with a 5 speed manual), less complicated so it will probably last longer. I get 34 on the highway and 26 around town with a heavy foot. Prius is a better choice for a more luxurious and disconnected car (the kind that I hate).

Yes they have heavy feet at Edmunds, My 2010 Prius has averaged 53 mpg since new (20Kmiles ago) My 2011 Fit gets (avg,,,) 37 mpg so although their numbers are low,,they still show the Prius correctly as the higher mpg car. I would also prefer the Prius for trip longer than 200 miles,,as it is heavier, and a larger (for crash protection) But the steering is heavier and not as quick, visibility in the Prius is not as good as the Fit.

The 2008 Fit hubcaps look good on the Civic Hatchback. They're some of the only Honda factory hubcaps with a little style.

used to get 28-35 mpg with ford escort zx2 2.0 liter 5 speed. Fit must get like 40 mpg.

My Prius highway mpg is 53, about 42 for city driving. Aftermarket used price for certified vehicle differences is about 2-3 grands. Clearly a 10 mpg advantage spell a saving of only $1,700 if driven from zero to 120,000 miles and gas prices are same for both vehicle.Both vehicles are built in Japan, maintenances are low. But hybrid components cost more not including battery replacement cost. |
