I know you had some comments on the layout of the windscreen, but I have to recommend the new Civic for it's internal dimensions and gas mileage. As you know, it is a lot bigger than it looks ( ... )

Hmmm, next time you're in the area would you mind if I did a "space test" on your car? I could set Ian's old rear facing car seat in the back and see how much leg room that leaves the front.

No problem. Since schedules are getting crazy soon, I'll do my best to create some social time tomorrow.

Gas Mileage:
FIT: 31/38 -- AVG 34.5
Civic: 30/40 -- AVG 35

Those are the 5 speed automatic 4 cylinder engines in both. The FIT has a 1.5L, the Civic a 1.8L. Based on what TB has said, if you want "get into traffic" power, the Civic sounds like it would have it. Perhaps a test drive comparison of the two would be worthwhile.

If you're interested in a "Sport" badge, the FIT Sport gets a mere 31/37, AVG 34, mileage. That's not too bad.
