your feedback is very appreciated

THANKS!!
 
The honda will give you a better ride and less mechanical issues, but the suzuki is more bang for the buck. I guess it all depends on what you like, but i'd go with the fit because i know honda makes good cars. Nothing against the suzuki it is just unproven in the long run.
 
The Fit is a better vehicle, but I can see why you would be tempted to go for the SX-4.

Looks is all subjective. I like the Fit better, but the SX-4 is like a mini-Matrix and it isn't ugly.

Price will be about the same. You get more for the price on the SX-4, but the Fit will retain its resale value better over the next 5 years (in case you sell your car within 5 years).

Performance - about the same. Both are pretty slow and more known for their utility/economy than they punch. The Fit will get better gas mileage (28 mpg overall vs. 24 mpg for the SX-4 AWD).

Reliability and Resale - The Fit by a longshot, here.

Overall, I would choose the Fit.

If AWD is important to you, I would suggest getting the Subaru Impreza instead of the SX-4. It has a much better AWD system, better reliability, better resale, and is cheaper to maintain.

You get what you pay for and it is better to pay a little more now than a lot more later.
 
That's easy. I'd definitely go for the Suzuki. It offers All-Wheel Drive, plus comes with more standard equipment and costs less than the Honda. The Honda offers a little bit more interior room, and it gets better gas mileage, but the Suzuki looks better (in my opinion), and is supposed to be more fun to drive. It also has more horsepower and a much better warranty, plus the ability to customize it straight from the dealership. Unless you absolutely need good gas mileage, I'd go for the Suzuki. And if you are after gas mileage, look at a Volkswagen with one of their turbodiesel engines, which are good for up to 52 miles per gallon on the highway in a Beetle, far more than the Honda's 38 miles per gallon.

If you're considering these cars, look at these as well to broaden your horizon:

Chevrolet Aveo
Ford Fiesta
Hyundai Accent
Kia Rio
Nissan Versa
Scion XD
Toyota Yaris

The above models are all good competitors in this segment. If I had to narrow it down, I would say the best cars in this category would be the Suzuki, the Ford, and the Kia. They've got the most style, best option packages, and lowest prices in this category. If you're worried about reliability, the Kia and Suzuki ranked up near the top, along with the Honda and Toyota, and, while the Ford hasn't been tested that long yet, other Ford products have made a comeback in reliability (the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan tied for the most reliable vehicle in the United States for 2006 and 2007), so the Fiesta should be a safe bet. I didn't list the Volkswagen turbodiesels (Beetle, Jetta, Rabbit) I mentioned above because they're in a higher price/size category with cars like the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, and Toyota Corolla.

I hope this has answered your question. If you have any more, please feel free to ask.
