My coworker lives in a downtown apartment with a cramped parking garage and bought a full size pickup to drive 1.5 miles to the parking garage at our workplace to write code. I'm embarrassed for them and keep telling them to buy a bicycle
Even a Honda fit would be better!
They stopped making the fit.
I know, sad days. They're still sold in Europe and Asia if I remember right.
I used to own an HR-V. They're good cars, but slow as stink. They took something with the wind profile of the CR-V and put the same engine in it as the '06 Civic. Still did like high 30s/low 40s on gas most of the time. So that was cool. Plus, it's pretty spacious. It just needed like 40 more hp. Or a manual. Or both.
It was built on the same platform as the Fit so it's got the neat rear seats that flip up. Seriously useful small car. I once hauled a whole ass 60" countertop halfway across the state in it. I guess they just decided the American market wants to go upsize. The Fit is probably one of the best suburban cars ever.
At least we can still buy the VW Golf.
No they did not, it's still sold in Europe. New model came out recently too.
