Pfeh. Obviously I'm biased, but if they measured their driveability, then I cannot imagine the Fit doing better than the Fiesta. I don't know about Mazda.

Fit totally wins on storage, but for god's sake. Are 10 cup holders going to get you to work on time?

Zero-to-60 is just a stupid measure of performance. Nobody does that in real-world driving. What I care about is 50 to 75 so I can pass jackasses driving slow on the highway. And I would MUCH rather do that in a Fiesta than a Fit.

I drove a Fit and it could not get over 50 mph before I'd come upon the next stoplight and have to slow down again. Meanwhile, I can not keep my Fiesta UNDER 50 on open roads.

I just hope that anyone who goes and test drives a Honda based on that article also goes and drives a Fiesta so they realize they've been lied to.
