don't rely on official EPA estimates,they are usually inaccurate.

user reported estimates are more accurate.

Also remember the year of make.

I did some extensive research when I was on the market and if I can recall the passo was the best followed by Suzuki swift,vitz and Nissan note...but overall the margins were negligible.

I think in terms of resale value, reliability, ease of spare parts puts the vitz slightly ahead of passo(daihatsu) in overall value.

but the Honda fit is the best quality machine by far.

Google :) websites like carsurvey.org,auto express, what car have user reported fuel consumption figures.

the fit spares are harder to find and more expensive than for vitz by around 30-50%!!!....however both cars run like clock work so no advantage to the fit.

The build materials and versatility are what sets the fit apart...the vitz's hard plastics are quite tacky.

In the related thread i asked guys who've done round trips on a full tank to raise up their hands and share wako wapi?

Na hiyo tabia ya kurusha mawe to the car infront washana naye hiyo ni uniform ya kwaya.

Most cars around promise mileages of 15 to 20 km per liter highway. Now assuming a 60ltr fuel tank this would mean at least 900-1200km on a single full tank meaning Nrb msa and back or kisumu Mombasa with something left in the tank
