Honda Fit Test Drive Report - did you drive it? Tell us!

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 17, 2007 7:32 pm)

Just checked out my Wife's Jazz and it does have a driver's-seat height adjuster.......may explain why we pay so much more for ours than you do for yours, (not). The remote gas flap release I really don't care about - I have to go there to fuel the car anyway so a remote release gives me nothing. However, on the UK-spec car the fuel filler is on the "wrong" side, of course. Now that does niggle me and is strange considering this is a Japanese design and they drive on the correct side of the road.
 
I personally like the paddle shifters; just a big kid at heart. My Wife simply sticks the auto-box in Drive and let's it get on with it.
 
So, like any car it has its compromises but the pro's far far outweigh the con's, particularly in the area of seating/loadspace flexibility. It really is one heck of a package and I know at least one lady who wouldn't swap hers for any other car - well maybe a RR Phantom + chauffeur - and even then she'd probably want the Jazz in the boot, (trunk), as a local runaround.
 
We each have our own wants/needs in cars and that's what makes the topic so interesting. I can't have a Jaguar X-type diesel or Ford Mondeo diesel with an auto-box, likewise a Honda Accord diesel. Why not ? Puts them off my list whilst keeping Audi A3/A4/A5/A6 and Jaguar S-type diesels firmly on the list. It's a strange old world.

I hope you like rabbit soup!

Not sure Honda has any options that make ex-girlfriends into "best friends". However, even though the actual filler cap doesn't lock, the filler cap "flap" is locked as part of the central locking - isn't it ? It certainly is on European Jazz's.

Apparently not.
