Honda Fit or Scion xA?
We are looking for a small car to get around city and be easy to find
parking for. Has to be easy to get in and out. Both Fit and xA fit the
bill...
Which one is safer? (Side airbags are available in both.)
Which one is "nicer"? Is Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist available for Fit?
Toyota's Vehicle Stability Control is *not* available for xA...
How about GPS, Bluetooth integration, Remote Starter? Moon-roof?
Fit seems cheaper -- why? Thanks for any comments!

Either one is a decent choice in that category.
I looked at a Fit and not an xA (xA's are not as nice looking, to me...)
But I bought a tC.
The only thing I didn't like about the Fit? The fact it replaced the Civic
Si hatch! Imagine replacing a little Fire Breather with a Huffer-Puffer!
But that's my rant. Either one is good.

The Toyota Yaris is a closer comparison to the Fit. The Scion is alo
cheaper, but has mods from Scion as options to trick it up, too. You can't
go wrong with any of them IMO.
