Replying to: johndintexas (Aug 24, 2007 12:31 pm) There could be some relatively small yet important changes in the next Fit, e.g. seat height adjuster and/or telescopic wheel (for more comfortable driving position), better seat design (for rear-crash safety), available cruise control on the base model, and maybe a bump in fuel economy.

Replying to: backy (Aug 24, 2007 2:40 pm) Exactly the reason why, if it were me, I would wait. Seat height adjuster, locking gas door, decent-looking wheel covers for base model, 15" wheel for base model, etc --- minor, but useful improvements.

Replying to: bostnwhalr (Aug 24, 2007 7:40 am) More rounded, a bit longer and slightly wider than the current Fit, the new model has a completely redesigned interior with a steering wheel that looks very similar to the current Honda Civic steering wheel. Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) models will sport either a 1.3-liter 100ps (96 bhp SAE) or 1.5-liter 120 ps (116 bhp SAE) SOHC i-VTEC engine, using a CVT autmoatic transmission. I expect the new model to arrive in the USA either late spring 2008 (if imported from Japan) or September 2008 (if Honda decides to assemble the car at their new Greensburg, Indiana assembly line). |

Replying to: johndintexas (Aug 24, 2007 12:31 pm) Isn't the new Fit going to have Honda's ACE body structure for improved crash worthiness (not that the current model is lacking)? Honda also seems to advance the state-of-the-art every time they redo a car. By the way, my sister has a base 5-speed model. Worst mileage in 3,500 miles is 36mpg with a high of 42 mpg. Incredible. |

I'm 5'11" and around 280. My inseam is about 30 inches. I'm wondering about long term comfort in the FIT seat. I would be using it for an approximately 30 mile round trip to work, but want a car that is reasonably comfortable for trips of an hour or two. Any thoughts?

Replying to: crutnacker (Sep 04, 2007 5:51 pm) I'm about the same size. I can sit in the Fit all day, either driving or resting while the bride does stuff or shops, and not feel any discomfort. I think the seats are very, very comfortable!  Bubba |
