That's the point. It is fine to choose the Fit over the Civic for what
you want in a car. It is even fine to pay $4000 over list for it, if that
suits you. The OP is a first-class whiner, though, in that he blames the
dealer (and Honda) for his bad judgment, in that he feels he overpaid. He
is clearly not smart enough to realize that he made his own decision on
how much he was willing to pay. The dealer's job is to make money. They
saw that sucker coming all the way down the road...
