I still rather have a Honda Beat Myself

I'm looking for a wrecked beat. I need a MRE car to steal the rear drive out of. If it had the engine still functioning that would make life fantastic.

The reason I'm looking for a Beat is its components are much like the Del Sol(US counterpart sort of to the BEAT). If the engine works it would be a straightforward process of dropping everything in my trunk and replacing a few components for. . .more. . .uhm. . .mm. . . Fuel EcoHPnomy.

I have test-driven it thoroughly and I loved it. I'm not in the market for a replacement car or thats what I would get. My mother did not want it because she felt it was too small. She is very small and probably feels unsafe in a small car, or at least thats how my dad and I interpret it.

I would love to have one to squeeze it to FEness.

And I like the FIT way better than the A class. I'm not a fan of mercedes at all. Given the a class looks to have a lower Cd, I would gamble it weighs more.

I see. The Fit definitely has a "small" footprint. My wife and I were surprised the first time we saw a 1st gen parked on a street. If you don't like small, I can see it how it wouldn't "FIT" what you expect. I'm not a Mercedes fan either, but I like some of their designs like the A-Class and the kinda-Benz Smart 4-Four (RIP). Aesthetically I like the 2nd Gen Fit more than the A-Class.

When I park my Jazz next to an A Class, the mercedes looks so small.

I can comfortably fit me family of 5 as well as a baby seat. You would be struggling to do that in a A Class.
