Hi, Honda Fit
I joined a bit back, but decided to say hello. Joined to learn ways to increase mileage in city driving on MT Honda Fit, especially the acceleration, shift issues. I bought the car after having to give up my "old school" vespa style scooter after being rear ended. I got 86 mpg on the scooter, so it's been very very hard for me to cut that more than half with the Fit, not to mention the "footprint". I like the Fit but it seems to have high rpm relative to other cars I see posted here. The US Fit doesn't use the 1.3 engine, and I'm still trying to figure out how the v-tec engine benefits FE rider like me. I don't own a SG and am not eager to acquire one: that would make FE too easy and take all the fun out of it. ;-)

hey JK. I own a FIt too...
I agree that the transmission isn't "tall" enough. When my warranty is up I am thinking of rebuilding the transmission with taller 4th and 5th gears. Perhaps it would be nice to import the JDM 1.3L engine that they dont' offer here in the states. Anyway, glad to have you here :) |

The Fit definitely has lots of room, which is one of the reasons we love it. It's very versatile and is the perfect "family" vehicle.
Still wish it had better FE. |
true. i wish it had more gas mileage, but it gets more than my 06 Matrix. the Matrix is too heavy for that 1.8L engine (2800 lbs curb), and that's one of the reasons why i can't get decent mpg. when i have 5 people in my car, you can hear the engine struggling even at 55 mph :( i really wish i had bought a Fit or a lighter car.

Congrats on your Fit! I probably would've gotten one if I didn't need the extra space. I generally prefer Toyota to Honda, but I couldn't get over the Yaris' center mount gauges or overall bubble'ish styling :p
