#7 of 14 Fit Almost a Fit by nrborod Jul 24, 2009 (9:51 am)
I want to love Fit. And I almost fit in it. What would make all the difference is if Honda installed a little knob to raise or lower the front of the seat cushion ala the 1998-2002 Accord system.( remember that set up? It really was good) Could use a little more sound deadening in the engine compartment as well. I figure there are people who would want this car with these feature. How much more could that possibly cost? Otherwise, I find the car attractive to look at, pleasant to drive for an economy car, and ingenious in interior design. Please help me love the Fit.

Replying to: nrborod (Jul 24, 2009 9:51 am) Like so many, I love mine. 2009 base model with AT. Comfortable on a 1500 mile trip where I averaged 42.5 mpg. Convenient and fun around town--suburban driving--where I get 32 to 35 mpg. I just hauled a large size recliner in the back, much to the unbelief of the habitat folks when I delivered it. I have also hauled a large electric stove and I regularly put my bike in the back without taking off the front wheel. The Fit just fits my needs perfectly. (-: Just one person's report of a reason to love it. Of course, I'm "normal" size at 5'8" and 164 pounds which might be part of the reason it fits me so well.

#12 of 14 Fit in icy conditions by tarapuss Oct 17, 2009 (1:23 pm)
I've just signed to buy a 2010 Fit, base model. I'm wondering how it performs in icy conditions. Replies to this message: aaykay (Oct 18, 2009 4:25 pm) maxhray (Nov 12, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: tarapuss (Oct 17, 2009 1:23 pm) Performance in icy conditions are all in the tires. If you equip your Fit with tires that perform well in snow/ice, the Fit should do just fine and as well as any other car in like conditions.
