Welcome to EM! The only real shortcoming of the Fit is that I think we expected even better MPG from the Honda than we got. Then again, we didn't get all the engine options that the Fit (aka the Honda Jazz) has in other countries.

If it helps your business to drive a mini-wagon with an American nameplate, the Pontiac Vibe is a good choice. It's a Toyota Matrix under the skin, which means it's a Toyota Corolla drivetrain. Here is a review of it by RH77 :

If you pick the Fit then I think you will be fine. It's the Swiss-Army-Knife of mini-wagons. Here are some cubic feet capacity comparisons between the Fit and the Vibe :
