Replying to: scratchmarc (Dec 11, 2006 12:59 pm) Yes, I did earlier today. I told them the tilt/telescoping steering wheel would be great but the seat height adjustment wasn't really a big deal...

She said No Way! I'm still pondering the Fit since I'll do 90% of the driving anyway. Replies to this message: jacksan1 (Dec 12, 2006 2:20 pm) bobw3 (Dec 13, 2006 8:37 am)

My wife was pleasantly surprised that she did not feel "floored" in the Fit's seat, despite her height. Replies to this message: bobw3 (Dec 13, 2006 8:37 am)

#4311 of 4728 driving in snow by rosebags Dec 13, 2006 (1:09 am)
I'm considering buying a Fit (basic), and was wondering if anyone can comment on: 1. driving on snowy, icy roads? 2. mountain driving? (I live in Colorado) Thanks! Replies to this message: coloradocraig (Dec 13, 2006 6:07 am)

Replying to: rosebags (Dec 13, 2006 1:09 am) I live in Colorado also, an the FIT (manual transmission) is GREAT in the mountains. Wonderful fun to drive on the small twisty roads. Snow/ice will depend upon your selection of tires - dedicated snow tires will of course be best if you spend a lot of time in those conditions.

Replying to: jacksan1 (Dec 12, 2006 2:20 pm) I'd say let her try. My wife is shorter than me, but since she sits with the seatback more upright than me, so our eye level is about the same. But if she's 5'1" and likes to drive in a reclined position, then you better get a car with a seat adjustment.
#4314 of 4728 Oil Change by fitwill Dec 13, 2006 (8:33 pm)
I posted a message earlier about when to get the oil changed and on the best oil filters. I got my first change this week, oil life at 30% and milage at 5300, not at the dealer though. I have family connections and can get it done cheaper and easier with them. Of course I thought that the oil life would automatically go back to 100%, but it didnt so I called the dealer abbout this. You would think I would refer to my manual about this and could figure it out. However, for the rest of you that are lazy like me it is a fairly easy procedure. I suppose if you get it done at the dealer they will reset it, but if you go elsewhere like me you can do it on your own, assuming the oil was changed and not left out like a previous post. So the procedure is to go to the oil life indicator, hold the button in for 10 seconds until it blinks, then release. Next hold it in for another 5 seconds, this will reset it to 100%. Pretty neat and easy. I dont know the type of oil they used, in terms of whether it was synthetic or not, I assume not (I do know they used 5w-20). I wonder if the oil life indicator would be smarter to detect a synthetic oil which I understand can give you longer oil life. Any thoughts on this. Is the car that smart to pick up on the type of oil and thus adapt and show up on the oil life indicator as such or does it automatically go off milage run by the car no matter the type of oil. Let me know Replies to this message: gearhead1 (Dec 14, 2006 2:16 am)

Replying to: fitwill (Dec 13, 2006 8:33 pm) No, the OLM will not detect synthetic oil. It only takes factors like rpms, cold starts etc. into account.

Replying to: thomasbetz (Dec 05, 2006 6:22 am) I don't think this could be "overlooked," as the Fit has been in prodution for several years. I had an Audi that had "whine" in the radio--it was an electronic shielding issue somewhere. Probably the same on yours.
