@ztevo depends on who you ask, it could go either way. I really like what they have done with the new ones, but the old ones have character too. Both great styling by Honda.
I own a FIT, and love it. 37 mpg and lots of space inside. The little car scoots in traffic and the paddle shift on the steering wheel is just plain FUN!
I have owned honda's for a few years now , i had a 1992 accord and a 1992 civic, but the civic was as reliable as a rock , and now i have a 2004 Acura 1.7 EL , which is a honda civic in a suit.
At 95000 kms the cars headgasket went and i never push my car , in my opinion they don't make hondas how they used to back in the days.
Hokey commercial. I test drove a Fit and it was just an underpowered economy car. If you just want a commuter car and don't care about fun and performance, it seems like the perfect car. It does have a lot of space. I suggest test-driving one first, though. The reviews and commercials make it sound like more than it really is.
FIT - Female in transit. all i see is females in these cars, they can be pretty sick though i have seen k20a's in them thats balls out nice i love hondas
I love the 2nd-gen Fit. The ratio of drivers I see in it locally are 70/30, favoring guys, and they always have the Sport model it seems. Still awaiting one for myself. :)
I've tested one today but was disappointed. While it's a small car a lot of space inside and handles well, the 1.3L auto is very underpowered.
Under normal driving the engine was revving too much and jumping from gear to gear just to find the best power ratio making the driving rather un-smooth and annoying.
CVT transmission can be annoying. I had a civic with that and it was crap. However, I just bought a 2009 Jazz manual. Definitely not underpowered - the 1.3L engine puts out 73 kW and it is just over a ton. For its class and competition, it is reasonably powered. Also considering that power comes at a cost - the aim of this vehicle was to be spaciously innovative, creative, fuel efficient and have a luxurious interior. It achieved it's purpose. It was not meant to be a racer.
We both disagree with veltpak6's opinion on the looks, but at least it's just an opinion. I like Honda cars, and the Fit is fun to drive. I also heard from 2 Honda dealers that in 2009, there's supposed to be a hybrid Fit.
There is a history in my country, that a Fit (model 2007) was stolen for some drug dealers. They managed to put 12 dead bodies inside the vehicle right before they get caught by the police.
If the 2009 model meets the same price points as the previous generation FIT then Honda will have me paying out of pocket by the end of the year. This is the best compact car you can get in the US.
This new one is estimated at either 46 or 55 mpg depending on engine type (compared to the 34 to 38 mpg hwy that the '07-'08 Fit gets), and with the stronger engine and relatively same curb weight, the 2009 Fit should handle better.
I'm lovin' this car! Luv it, luv it, luv it! It's the perfect car for the times we live in--versatile, 'green' and fuel efficient. I can't wait until it comes to the U. S.!
not with the 1.5 vtec 120 hp.. that must be a dream to drive :) i have a 1.6 vtec civic 125 hp, and because the Jazz is much more light it should go pretty fast
This is 100% my new car. I bought a Jazz in March 2006 and i have no probs since 147000Km...a pretty good car. I saw a RS-Modell in this clip...anyone knows how much horsepower it has?
I ordered mine and its coming hopefully b4 CYN! The funny part is that I bought it even did not see the real car itself! I hope honda fit really lives up to its name! This is my lst car :)
Does the Singapore version have an adjustable seat height? I've heard the US version won't have it. I'll come back to visit Singapore when the new Universal Studios on Sentosa opens.
I love my 2008 Black Berry Pearl Fit, I named her Bella. :)
