Both are great cars, better than the rest in the competition. However, I choose the Honda Fit.

I would also. Just watch out for those damn semis!

Who ever goes from Honda or Toyota to a Ford or Chevy is very very mental

I'd go with the Honda fit. The Ford fiesta would be a great car if it didn't have so many transmission issues and reliability issues in general.

***** they were. and the fiesta st is 10 times more fun to drive than a honda fit. I would personally pick the fiesta any day over the honda for fun driving. the honda fit is more of a family car, I have 2 friends with a 2014 and 2015 honda fits and they don't even touch the fiesta st in driving experience.

+Jeffrey Simmonds if there were a fit si than u can say fiesta st is better but, this is Honda fit vs standard fiesta

Very good comparison and review. The 2014 Honda Fit redesign will but the Honda on top of all it's competitors I can't wait to see it and of course watch your review.

very nice and thorough review. it's long but NOT boring at all. watched through the whole thing. the comparisons and opinions are just what i'd like to hear if i ever consider either car lol...

I am deciding between these exact two cars!! I am very pleased with this review. You guys hit good points and gave good info on the topics I was interested in comparing. You guys seem very knowledgeable and I appreciate it. I will be looking forward to hearing about future reviews.

So Matt is totally the Top.

Awesome review!!! U made the most thorough review I've ever seen, yet literally made it feel only ten minutes long. For the first time I really got a feel for the cars without driving it, I find that amazing! U guys are well spoken and yet don't put me to sleep like other reviewers. Hope to see more of your reviews in the following years.

Bought a black 2013 Fit Sport one month ago. Love it. Absolutely nothing bad nor disappointing about this car. Works well in the snow too (Montreal, QC, Canada, here... so we have it all) ...Awesome little beast. Get one! Call me old school but.... who really wants a Ford anyways?... ;) Nice video, guys, by the way!

Id choose it for the looks, driving dynamics, "Honda-ness", as well as the reliability.

The honda fit is amazing car, very reliable and cheap to maintain.

All I have to say is I have put over 42,000 miles on my 2011 Ford Fiesta, I'm 6'3" tall, 300lbs, commute two hours a day, and LOVE throwing around in a hot hatch. It really does feel like you're driving a large car when you're on the highway and when you're downshifting going around corners it still has the magic. I certainly do not regret buying it, Not to say I would have been disappointed buying a Fit, but I prefer the European driving feel of the Fiesta.

Well done guys. Even at your young age you've put together a better report than most I've seen by older, so-called "professional" testers.

WOW this channel is really growing, first time i watch ur vids were like 2 yrs ago and they were just average videos now ur like a professional wow keep up the good work

still to this day i prefer the fit, it looks great for being a compact car of the era it came out. the fit is almost like a suv but it’s a tiny compact, and that’s what i love the most

The best comparison review I've ever watched. Great job guys!

Sofyan you've made great videos from the start just stumbled upon this, obviously this is your first channel

Owned a honda fit 2010 for 9 years, recently got a fiesta. Love it and more fun to drive.

Great video! I have a 2011 Mazda2 which is based on the same platform as the Fiesta but is definitely more sporty and has much better shifter. However the ride is more firm and it's more noisy over rough pavement, both of which can get annoying on longer trips. Also the Mazda's interior is much simpler and more basic, so it doesn't have weird looking buttons and dials all over the dash like the Fiesta or Fit. And it uses the same steering wheel as the Miata!

We use Honda Jazz and Ford Fiesta as learner cars. I find the Jazz definitely a lot more practical and it has far more space in the back, also for rear passengers. The Jazz engine is by far superior in build quality, just open the bonnet you can immediately see the difference. I'd also trust the Honda drive train more than the Jazz. However the trim in the Fiesta is better than in the Jazz (their plastics break easier and the floor carpet wears out much quicker). Rear passenger legroom in the Fiesta is terrible, but contrary to what has been stated below, driver seat and front passenger legroom in the Fiesta is certainly better than in the Jazz - I am 6'4" and have driven both cars for over 50k miles each. I find the Fiesta more fun to drive but the Jazz more practical and more reliable (except their cheaper plastic trims)

Loved this. Excellent video. You guys covered some stuff that I feel other reviewers always miss.

I just bought a Fiesta the other day. I had a 2009 Scion TC. I loved the TC. As a matter of fact it was my favorite car out of the 10 previous. I just have to say first that your video was the most informative I have seen on a comparative. That being said my new car (2012 fiesta) is now my personal favorite of all time. Driving wise, it is amazing. I'm in Chicago and travel around often. I haven't had it long but so far it's surprising me every time I drive it.

I really like how your videos have evolved, that kind of reminds me of something you'd see for Car and Driver or Motor Trend.

I'm glad that you're not a dinosaur, but in hindsight great job on this vid. Keep up the good work

I like the fit more I think I like the back seats and that Honda reliability

i really appreciate this review... it's long, but comprehensive and solid. learnt a lot. thanks guys.

thank you! I remember all of my early subscribers :) thanks for sticking with me!

This is the right direction for your future videos have your friend and film him talking about what you think and viseversa.

very cool reviews! I wish you all the success and look forward to more videos.

thank you for showing the trunk / cargo space it's always missed when watching other 'pro' reviews

nice review/comparison +camera angles i like how you show the outside and inside

Very honest review from both parties. No favoritism to their own vehicle.

Nice job guys! Love the production effects. I don't think many auto journalists have done 25 minute comparisons. Lots of good info especially for people who aren't total car people. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks so much! We can't wait! Keep watching, keep liking, and keep spreading the word - our fans are the reason we are able to keep improving!

I have the Ford Fiesta 2013 and I love it. It was the best i could've gotten for my budget. It's the S trim with manual windows and no cruise control, but I love it

Haha I noticed you were at movieland the second I saw this :P next time you're in Richmond you should totally let me know I would let you do a video of my 71 beetle convertible! It would be cool to get a video of an oldie like that since most of your cars are 11/12 models.

haha thank you, glad most ppl are able to watch the whole thing, I was afraid it was a bit long but I tried to make it as entertaining as possible :)

I subscribed. Hope to see you guys in many more episodes. keep up the good work! :)

really nice comparison test guys!!

This was a very good video, on one transition, in the beginning of the video, you were in the fit and then went to the interior of the festiva, other then that great video. I know it's a pain in the butt to edit a video and put it together. Overall Great Job. Keep up the good work

This was hilarious and very informative Sofyan and Matt! I really want to see more collabo's.

Sorry for the volume in the beginning and end takes. We had some technical difficulties with our mics which will be fixed in our upcoming videos.

Awesome comparison! Both of these are cars I'm really considering as my next car. I've always like the fit but was afraid it was too small but from your videos I really can tell that's not true and the fiesta I wasn't a fan of until I actually saw one in person and sat in it and I really loved the european styling!

hey man id like to say great video wow ive been a loyal subscriber for soo long n its amazing to see how your channels turning to be! keep up the great vids man! seriously nice job

something about your videos make them so exciting

Super super amazing review! Big thanks guys!

Quick notes; -Fiesta is getting getting the 1litre ecoboost. rated at 123/125 (max torque @ 1500rpm) -They stated the next fit will use a cvt, i am really hoping they keep the manual. -Real world mpg actually puts them pretty close, although that might change with the ecoboost. -While Fiesta has better materials, Fit dash looks less cheap imo, and better designed. I drive a 2012 focus, but would take a Fit over a Fiesta, mostly because of the magic seats, shifter, and reliability.

even with all the fiesta has to offer over the fit, the fit ... fit my needs better, the performance wasn't an issue after testing a '11 yaris (loud) and after comparing the costs of the other 5 doors. the fit is peppy enough to be fun to drive, the cargo space for the money meant that i could take my wife and 2 children (car seat and booster included) to the grocery store, with a full basket and leave comfortably at 30mpg. the fit truly is fucking GO; practical in every sense.

wow thank you so much, we are working on becoming even more professional. Matt and I have been car enthusiast since we were just old enough to read and we'd both like to turn that into a profession some day :)

Why would you grab the roof handles while driving? hmmm.... I keep my hands on the wheel. Also your 0w-20 explanation (for warmer weather) is flat wrong. The 0w oil is thinner and therefore easier to start in very cold places.

Nice job guys! The more I see the Fit the more I wonder if it would've been a better choice over my '09 Civic. I live in an urban area & find my Civic is too big for parking spots & quick lane changes. I say to myself, "Well if I only had bought a Fit, I'd have parking by now"... instead I drive up & down the street hoping to find another spot. It's nice to see this comparison, everyone is so hyped w/the Hyundai-Kia onslaught. While the Rio SX is good looking, it hasn't won me over yet.

Haha. I think id change the "Fit" badge to the "Jazz" one found in the European market. I can imagine the conversation when I go to trade it in.... "So, this here is a Honda Jazz?" "Well, it is a Jazz, yes... but its actually a Fit." "What?" "You wouldnt understand."

haha I like the JDM look of the Fit more as well, it just looks soo much more sporty to me :D

Good review guys keep doing your thing.

I just bought a fiesta SE automatic..blast to drive and good gas mileage

That was a metaphor that was supposed to reflect the amount of stuff the fit can carry. It was not really a detrimental comment towards the Fit. Simply a metaphor for what it is.

Fiesta really LOVES the curves PLUS mine got 42 mpg, but it was cramped driving it.

dude, those are some healthy bhp numbers. in Europe, most of the subcompacts on the roads have the base engines, which generally give around 70 or 85 bhp

Also, I wonder if in the Fiesta, they changed the throttle mapping so that you don't get a lot of power until the end of the pedal travel. I wouldn't be surprised if the Fit has a lot of response loaded up early in the travel, in keeping with its sporty demeanor.

hahaha great bloopers! and great vid!

Love this video guys! Very entertaining and very well put together! IMO better than Top Gear USA. The Fiesta is more stylish but the Fit is more practical.

the fit is not the perfect car, i still have complaints about it, but i was sold on the magic seats and the cargo space, it has more cargo space than cars bigger than it, such as the mazda 3 and toyota matrix, both were on my list when i was car shopping, just different needs for different people, and this review is well done! keep it up guys

Great review. Really enjoyed your observations. I like the Fiesta and the Mazda 2 but today we bought a Jazz(fit) because of our height and it's space. We have a couple of growing kids so we really needed the space at the back. It's funny about perceptions and image. in England the Jazz is seen as a Biddy Bus but here in Thailand it's young and trendy. Who cares as it looks pretty good and makes great use of space. All the Best and look forward to your vids in the future.

Good job guys, keep up the good work.

And………..the Fit will go forever !! 👍😊👍

thanks for the review! i'v been considering the fit sport and the fiesta, but was leaning towards the fit although i like the look of the fiesta better. i liked the side by side comparison.

Great job! Cool video with lots of useful information!

Great reviewers and review! Thanks!!

I prefer the sonic over both for looks, but I think the ford wins over city driving and the fit wins for cargo. Great video, you should do this comparing mustangs/camaros, ford fusion and Toyota Camry etc.

SOHC stands for Single Overhead Camshaft. That means that there is only one camshaft per header. Inline engines will contain one camshaft. V-type and/or flat will contain 2 camshafts. For a SOHC engine there are usually 2 valves per cylinder but there can be more with the addition of cams for each valve. DOHC stands for Double Overhead Camshaft. Now there are 2 camshafts per header. So in an inline there are 2 camshafts because there is only one header, but there is 4 in a V-type or flat engine

I agree, the Fit's small 10.6 gallon tank limits my range to around 300 miles in town and 380 on the highway while the Fiesta can go 450 on the highway. Oh well, thats the price you pay for the amazing interior volume I guess!

It's a dealer installed option by katskin, so its aftermarket leather

Everytime they'd critique eachother I take it as a roast, like "Boi, look how tiny this battery is" 11:07 lol

Hope we see more comparisons! Ford did a good job with the Fiesta. My cousin got the sedan, nice little car though I wish she got the hatchback for aesthetic purposes. Between the two, the Honda and JDM fan in me yearns for the Fit.

LOL blooper reel made me crack up

Ahh Thank you you guys helped out alot !!! I been wanting a video like this =]

you have really gone all out with the 2theredline thing haha. And I like both of these cars very much but I would cross shop the new Sonic if I was looking for a sub-compact. I'm not a Chevy person at all but I think they deserve credit where credit is due and the Sonic deserves credit for a strong competitor to the competition.

Awesome job on the vid!

I really hate changing the oil in fits. It's a pain to get to the oil filter compared to my civic. But I still like it

Nice video! I like it. BTW, the Accent and Rio also come standard with rear discs ;)

I believe the Fiesta is slower feeling bc of the way Ford has the manual geared, its one of the reasons why the Fiesta revs lower on the highway. The downside is that it accelerates much slower than the shortly geared Fit's manual :)

Nice review guys. I considered all of the subcompacts in 2012 and ended up with what's probably considered the worst of the bunch, the 2012 Nissan Versa. So why did I buy it? Pretty simple really. It was by far the roomiest and most comfortable of the bunch, plus was the only subcompact I could get for under $15k with automatic trans, pwr windows/locks/mirrors, cruise control, and wheel covers that actually COVER the ugly steel wheels. It's boring, but satisfies me in all the right ways.

That was great, Matt and Sofyan!! :D

The Fiesta may have a cramped interior but my Fit sure doesn't. It has more cargo capacity vs the Versa sedan and hatchback plus the taller roof line makes for more headroom. The Versa has more legroom in the rear than the Fit by the numbers however, I've put 4 full size adults in my car and they are always quite surprised with how spacious the little thing is. In terms of overall cabin spaciousness the Fit is still best in class. Nissan does roughly 50% fleet sales of the Versa.

If only the ride was softer on the Jazz. Is there any possible way of doing this by changing suspension parts etc.

WOW! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

I have a 2012 Honda fit & Love every bit of it. Love the handling, smooth transmission (manual) very fuel efficient, not expensive 2 buy, and 2 top it all off, its made by Honda. exeeding standard reliability. Call us conservatives but I refuse 2 waste more $ than I need to, 2 get me from 1 place 2 another. Also don't need a super power race car. 4 what? So that I would get speeding tickets like crazy? Seriously? You can keep your gas guzzling AWD. Even if I were rich, I don't throw $ away

I have a honda fit sport from 2009 and I really like it. I agree about the drift at highway speeds. But I've noticed a ton of Honda fits in Richmond. They are all over the place.

Thanks for solid info. It helped tremendously. I am downsizing from an SUV.

I still go for the Fit but the Fiesta is the only Ford I ever really liked! =)

Great review bri

I too chose the Nissan Versa, it was about $3000 lees than the Fit & Accent & lots of interior room & a nice ride. The Fit's I looked at just seemed tiny, the Versa is more like the size of a Corolla. Just an FYI, the Accent does NOT come with a spare tire, it comes with a can of Fix-A-Flat & a tire inflator which will come in real handy when your are out in the middle of nowhere & blow out a sidewall. LOL

Fiesta ST, with revised suspension + 180 horsepower, is confirmed for the USA Seems like it'd be a hoot to drive w/ the FIesta's low weight. I'd love to also see honda step it up with a Fit "SI", with similar horsepower gains

you should have mentioned that the shift light in the fiesta is helpfull for ppl that are learning to drive manual

Actually guys , your review was probably the most useful one I've seen .Real life usefulness is what auto manufacturers need to worry about .The days where a car maker could make money selling cars like the Hyundai Pony are long gone , gas is now 5 bucks a gallon in our neck of the woods . small comfortable , easy to own and upkeep cars is what it's all about . What they need to change is the timing belts to steel and make more of them all wheel drive , for us snow bound citizens .And Subaru's are just plain ugly and expensive . I think I'll check out the Ford Focus and would buy one immediately if they were all wheel drive . Good job boys .

likewise! Hopefully Honda makes one available for the next generation model!

So if there was anything about the Fit that you would change or update, what would it be?

I am curious about the Sonic too, although I sat in one at the auto show a couple times and wasnt too impressed with the interior quality.

I think where Ford may have cut corners is in the design of the vehicle (interior packaging and how the seats fold) Honda just pays more attention to details like how the engine looks and sounds. Ford has been doing that too but I think it just looks different bc we are soo used to Honda and how they do things.

People have traded in their aging Acura's and BMWs and Audi's for new Fits. I think the tradeoff is the cheap to run/own with very low maintenance factor.
