I'd be concerned about reversing. That, and it used to be, no towing with DSG. Maybe that changed in 2013, and maybe over in the EU they tow with the DSG--I'd research that before going further.
Toss in the (how expensive?) 40k fluid changes, timing belt every (120k?), the (how much? I was paying $9/L for mine) engine oil, and whatever else comes out of dieselgate... I hear the car is great and I'm guessing the deals are getting good. But man I wouldn't be able to.
The Fit was parked, we got it fixed, then it got into a crash with a bus. We're waiting to hear whether or not it's worth fixing.
With all the issues surrounding the TDI, we decided to pass.
