has anyone here driven or own a honda fit?
what are your experiences with it? pros and cons?
i'm thinking about picking one up since gas prices are going thru the roof
i kinda like the styling and how they look but i wanna know how everyday driving is in one....plus in a few years i might throw a K series in it

 

small...slow...ugly...and no floor mats .

sounds like something a Honda person would like

 

floor mats just add weight, dont need them with vtak

 

The Fit is Go.

The Fit is recalled.

 

Get it and then swap a k20a2 in it.

 

I rode in one and for the price it was ok, had pep but not power. The only thing I can complain about is that the ONLY one they had on the lot was an absolute base base base model with tan interior..which ,made the dashboard look really funny. Reminded me of riding in an isuzu work truck. But the black looks much cooler.

I would turbo the stock engine lol. I have seen kits. But then again saying you have a k is way cooler. But I could drive it everyday for awhile without problems.

2nd complaint, wtf is with the drum brakes?

 

what was recalled?

 

So, spending like 14k is saving you money, how?

I'd NEVER buy one, for like 4k more you can get a civic that looks way better and gets like the same gas mileage.

 

A girl I work with was going to buy one. I think she said it was going to be around $20K out the door. She ended up buying a new Focus ZX3 SE for under $12K and it has 35 more HP from the ZETC 2.0 liter and room for 4 real sized adults, lots of cargo and has a good warranty. Plus it gets over 35mpg.
I dunno, might not be your bag, but another option to consider....plus I'm biased.

 

good point
