Nostalgia Trip: Why We Miss Simple, Affordable Cars Like This Honda Fit

Used Car Nostalgia: A Look Back at Affordable Entry-Level Vehicles In a time of rising car prices, a recent video review of a used 2017 Honda Fit EX has sparked discussion about the affordability and simplicity of older car models. Filmed at a CarMax dealership, the video shows a reviewer highlighting the car's features and comparing them to modern vehicles. "I feel like an entry-level car would sell well now," the reviewer states, pointing out that a new Honda Civic costs almost $30,000. He contrasts this with the Honda Fit's former price point of $15,000-$16,000. The video showcases the car's manual controls, including knobs for climate control, which the reviewer contrasts favorably with the touchscreen interfaces of modern cars. The reviewer also notes the car's fuel efficiency, getting 30-35 mpg, a feature often lacking in newer, larger vehicles. The video concludes with a reflection on the simplicity and ease of use of older car models, contrasting them with the more complex technology in newer vehicles. This sentiment resonates with many viewers who miss the simplicity of older car designs.
