Hate to burst your bubble, but you obviously have never driven a Fit or done any research on it. Not only is the car extremely sporty in the vein of the original Civic Si (a car which I owned and loved), but its tires are 195's, hardly "skinny economy tires" especially given some older BMWS used to run 185's.

The Fit is nothing like it appears, both inside and the way it drives. That can't be said for any of its competition, including the Yaris, Sentra/Versa, Cobalt, Caliber, and even Honda's own Civic (excluding the more expensive Si).

If you watch some reviews about this car online, you'll find that many people refer to the handling as being sports car like.
