Replying to: jacksan1 (Nov 13, 2006 9:27 pm) In my earlier post I was referring to the CVT and the CVT-7 under the same "CVT" umbrella since the CVT-7 in the 1.5 models is essentially the same as the one in the 1.3 models, but with driver control via the paddles, and the seven "shift points". Even on their website, Honda considers both to be the Multi Matic S...it's just that one has 7-speed mode. ...and to further clarify, there are actually 3 engines if you include the Fit Aria, because it is available with both the 1.5 VTEC and the less powerful 1.5 i-DSI. In the case of the Fit Aria and Airwave, the CVT-7 is standard with no 5MT option available.

Replying to: hungarian83 (Nov 13, 2006 11:37 pm) As you know, the Fit, among other Honda vehicles, uses the GSP (Global Small Platform). What (to me) most clearly distinguishes different vehicles using the GSP, aside from the obvious matters as the body shape and name, is the wheelbase. I did not include the Airwave in the direct Fit family because of its wheelbase difference (2550mm vs. 2450mm for Fit/Aria). In fact, when the Airwave was first released, Honda specifically made a point of telling the Japanese automobile press that, even though the Airwave uses the GSP, the platform used therein was not a direct derivation of the Fit platform (pretty obvious with the wheelbase difference). The Aria, on the other hand, uses the Fit GSP (it's not 100% identical, but very close). In the same line of thought, the Mobilio and Mobilio Spike use the GSP, but I do not include them in the Fit family for both the wheelbase and other reasons. The GSP is also used in the Civics sold in Europe, but naturally, these are not in the Fit family. You have a good point in that by including the Aria we are indeed talking about three, not two, engines. At the most basic level, my system of categorizing is based on how Honda categories, meaning that Honda markets the Aria as being part of the Fit family.

| After researching and test driving this vehicle I am wondering how this does in the mountains. Will the engine get bogged down a lot? I am wanting an Fit Sport AT. When I test drove this car I went on their "road track" test drive through a very flat neighborhood, it was under tight watch being the only one on the lot for some time. I love the style and price of the car but just wondering if it can keep up with all the hills. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! | |

Replying to: caracraig (Dec 07, 2006 5:44 pm) Don't worry about driving in the mountains - look forward to it instead. Keep your gas tank full, watch out for animals, and don't get overconfident when road conditions are slippery. Our trip was delayed for 5 hours because they closed the road for an accident on the icy roads.
