After a week with the car, my wife really likes it. She likes how it rides, likes the backup camera, and likes all the bells and whistles it has. It's definitely no Fit in the handling department. The RAV4 no slouch, either. Body roll is controlled, it turns in pretty quickly, and the ride is taut. It does get a little unsettled over railroad tracks, which I sort of expected. There is a little wind noise at highway speeds. Seats are comfy for the short trips I've been in it. This has the makings of a good road-trip vehicle. Fuel economy in 90% urban driving is an indicated 19 mpg. Our Fit got an indicated 24 mpg in the same driving. This is also a bit more powerful and a bit faster. Speeding is easy since it does not "feel" like it's that quick except when looking down at the speedometer. And it still fits into our garage.
In short, a good choice for a replacement.
