#91 of 94 Re: 2009 fit - poor upper speed acceleration [gatortom1] by thegraduate Feb 26, 2009 (10:24 am)
Replying to: gatortom1 (Feb 25, 2009 10:51 am) The Expo, from Mitsubishi, had 113hp and made 116 lb-ft of torque, and weighed around 2800 lbs, through a 4-speed automatic. The Fit makes more horses, torque, and has a more flexible powerband thanks to iVtec. The 5-speed automatic is the clincher in the Fit's favor.   My guess is that the Fit is faster, but makes less noise and has a smoother transmission, making it less noticeable when you accelerate. Neither is a rocket, but the Fit should be faster.
#92 of 94 Burning smell by roger341 Feb 27, 2009 (9:44 am)
Have 09 Fit Sport, and after returning home and putting car in garage, I notice a slight burning smell from rear of car. Dealer checked and said no evidence of any problem, but smell continues.   Any ideas? Replies to this message: vagabondchef (Feb 27, 2009 10:05 am) thegraduate (Feb 27, 2009 7:36 pm)

Replying to: roger341 (Feb 27, 2009 9:44 am) Sounds like electrical wires burning near the gas tank. I had a friend that had a 09 Fit Sport that she just traded in December 2008 that had that smell from the rear end and the Honda dealer told her it was nothing but part of the new car smell you get when you buy a new Fit. She ended up trading it in for a 2009 Hummer H3. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Feb 27, 2009 7:36 pm)
