Re: Anyone own Honda Fit?

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 - 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.
HTH, regards, --- David
