My wife’s got the Honda (although badged as a Jazz in Europe). I’ve been hideously impressed by just how well designed and built it is. For a practical town car, I’d recommend it highly. Over here’s it’s sold with the 1.4 litre engine, which is a bit underpowered I’d say even for such a small car. I note that they’re doing a 1.5 vtec in the US with 25% more torque, so that should be a big improvement.
One slight problem - they do appear to be invisible to other drivers. Going around in the Fit I find I get carved up all the time. Back in my car, no such problem. Clearly they have adaptive stealth technology, as well as convenient flat folding rear seats.
