#256 of 275 AC/engine cooling fan running frequently by gr00v3 Jul 18, 2008 (12:35 pm)
Not sure if this actually indicates a problem but I've noticed that when I run the AC, the car's fan seems to start and stop rather frequently--on for a couple of minutes, then off for about 20 seconds, then on again.   Anybody notice the same thing, or does this sound like a faulty gauge of some kind?   I've owned small cars before, but I don't remember such lively fan behavior.

Replying to: backy (May 29, 2008 8:46 am) We at ERL have predicted some of the issues you've described here (lack of thigh support, tight bolsters, need for additional rearward travel, etc).   Check for the upcoming release (8/28) of our automotive seat comfort review website (www.OCCUZONE.com) for objective reviews of vehicle packages and seats.   We use virtual software, human body models, advanced biomechanics, and decades of comfort and ergonomic expertise to score vehicles in an objective manner. The scores are even broken down into occupant sizes as well. The initial site release is pretty basic but will incorporate many new features soon.   Any feedback appreciated! Thanks!

#259 of 275 "Long Mode" in 2009 Honda Fit Sport by birdbrain1 Feb 02, 2009 (6:15 pm)
I have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport and the brochure says you can tilt the front passenger seat forward to carry long items, but I don't think you can. Am I missing something or is this feature something you lose when you get the Sport model? Replies to this message: gatortom1 (Feb 03, 2009 2:12 pm)

Replying to: jaimem26 (Oct 09, 2007 10:52 am) I bought the Fit because, with the rear seats folded down, I CAN put my road bike in the back without taking the front wheel off. (I have a Trek 2300, 54 cm frame) I don't believe the bike would sit upright in the back--that is, without the front wheel and locked to a board--unless the seat was lowered, but I do believe two bikes can easily be fit into the back lying down with a blanket or piece of cardboard between them. (I haven't actually tried that yet.)   Before buying, I measured the length from rear hatchback to back of the passenger seat (in forward position) as 67 inches in the 2008. (My Fit is actually a 2009.) Of course the front wheel folds downward behind the front seat so one doesn't need all that room--and you can also gain more inches by angling across the space. I actually haven't tried the "tall Mode" approach between the seats so can't speak to actual width or experience with that but doubt you could fit two bikes in that mode without damage danger to the rear seats. (Since the "station wagon" style works so well, Tall mode hasn't been a needed approach.) Replies to this message: gatortom1 (Apr 30, 2009 10:38 am)

Replying to: birdbrain1 (Feb 02, 2009 6:15 pm) The only way I see to make it work is to fold the front seat Backwards--that is reclining position--which means the apolstry is exposed to whatever you put on it. (That is, fold the right back seat down, then the front seat back) A surfboard should then fit as in the adds.)
#262 of 275 window arm rest broken by gbrune Apr 02, 2009 (5:14 pm)
The arm rest on the driver side has broken. There seems tom be a thin piece of plastic under the cloth that has cracked. The passenger side also seems to be cracked but not as much. I guess we're leaning a bit too much on them?   Are we the only ones? Can this be covered in the warranty?
#263 of 275 Re: Interior Dimensions [gatortom1] bikes in back by gatortom1 Apr 30, 2009 (10:38 am)
Replying to: gatortom1 (Feb 03, 2009 2:06 pm) As a follow-up, I am able to put two bikes in the back of my 2009 Fit. With wheels off, two bikes must be angled because of the short space between wheels and hatch but it does work. Somewhat surprisingly, I also found that the roof IS high enough to hold my 54 cm frame bike in an upright position if the front wheel is removed and the rear wheel allowed to extend a few inches between the front seats. That is, with a 2X4 for clamping the front fork, one bike could be carried upright inside--unless it was a larger frame than mine.
#264 of 275 carpet on floorboard unattached by lalaland May 11, 2009 (5:53 am)
Something weird is happening in my Fit. I started noticing that I was looking down under my feet alot, because I kept feeling like something had rolled under my foot while I'm driving. As it turns out, the carpet or whatever it is, is coming apart from the floorboard. Its like a big hump under my feet there on the driver side. Its very hard to explain. Its definitely a safety hazard, IMO. I am going to set up an appt with the dealer this week, but was curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Replying to: lalaland (May 11, 2009 5:53 am) That's why the first thing I've always done when I get a new car is to add floormats so the mat can wear out instead of the carpeting in the car.
