Honda Fit vs. Volkswagen GTI Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Honda to the dealership as the Volkswagen GTI. Producing an exact gas mileage evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Fit is the winner in terms of fuel economy. The Volkswagen is tremendously pricier than the Fit regarding MSRP.

Utility
The Honda Fit and the Volkswagen GTI can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You will quite certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Fit than with the Volkswagen GTI.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Honda's front cabin compared to the GTI. While the rear of the Volkswagen GTI offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Honda Fit, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The GTI is tremendously heavier than the Honda. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Volkswagen GTI than the Honda because of its larger tank. The Honda Fit and the Volkswagen GTI compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Volkswagen GTI packs quite a wallop and will knock the Honda down a few rungs. However, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Honda Fit and the GTI likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Volkswagen GTI's engine is substantially more sizeable than the Honda's. Keep in mind that more sizeable engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Volkswagen will have picked up and gone by the time the Honda finally gets moving. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Volkswagen GTI is tremendously more powerful than the Honda Fit.

Warranty
The Volkswagen and the Honda Fit have the same basic warranty.
