Is the Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid worth importing?

Yes—but only if the total landed cost is clearly below local alternatives and you’re getting a clean, well-documented car.

Worth importing when:

• You want a compact wagon with more cargo space than a Fit/Jazz
• You value good fuel economy for city and mixed driving
• Your country allows right-hand-drive import and registration
• You have access to a solid inspection/export report and a hybrid-capable mechanic

Be careful of:

• Battery health and possible replacement cost
• Import/compliance fees that erase the savings
• Parts and diagnostic support for Shuttle-specific items
• Rust, accident history, and odometer accuracy

Rule of thumb: add purchase price, shipping, taxes, compliance work, registration, and a repair reserve. If that total is not meaningfully cheaper than a local Prius/Prius α, Fit/Jazz Hybrid, Freed Hybrid, or Corolla Fielder Hybrid, skip it.

Bottom line: the Fit Shuttle Hybrid is a smart import for a practical, efficient wagon—not a smart buy if the savings are small or the local registration/hybrid support is weak.
