Except for those in Asia and Euope, none are for sale as yet here in
the United States.

Hi there.  Here is a copy of a posting I made to a ng a month or so ago (not
sure which one).  Basically I totally love my Honda Jazz (Fit translates
badly in the UK. = something that you do when you're at the end of your
tether).

I have 1.4 basic model.

- Very good round town.  Very nippy in all "close quarter" situations
- Mine hardly ever goes over 30mph.  Most trips less than 5 miles YET 41 mpg
[NOTE:  That's UK mpg, I think it's about 32 mpg in US galls]
- Noisy on motorway
- Not amazingly powerful at speed
- Not so good on high speed motoring, that said VERY good in stop-start
driving situations, so if you're a motorway traffic jam every day, you'll be
fine.
- Gearbox is amazing
- Drive select (P - D - N - R lever, you know) is a bit vague; there's no
gate on it and it's easy to slip into one of the weird low torque D options
only to find out you're in it when you want to zip off :(.
- (optional) Boot bags total waste of time
- Roof mounting storage thing is quite nice, but not worth the money
- Don't bother with those boot/shelf mats.  They get in the way
- Wish I'd got the automatic air temp option
- Rear windscreen washer - wiper is poor but works
- Quite slow to warm cabin in the morning
- Mine's never been back to the dealer.  Hooray!
- Easy to keep clean
- Stereo OK, but see note below...
- Good to park / reverse
- Kids like it
- Will easily take 2 adults and 1 kid in back seat.
- Totally easy to shuffle seats around.  Hooray for that too.
- Good leg room front and back.
- Rear view mirror vibrates (worst case vibration found so far is Pink
Floyd's "One of these days" when it gets to the on-off-on-off bit).  Might
need to avoid death metal too (but that's for a whole different reason) :).
- Magic seats are just that; very clever
- I'd recommend this car if you drive round town.  It works.
