General comments?
This is a great car. I bought this car in addition to my 2001 Honda S2000. I needed a car with more passenger room and better fuel economy to and from work.
I am very impressed with this car. It feels just as torquey if not more than my S2000. Of course, it doesn't compare to the S2000 in overall acceleration, but I am still very happy with it's acceleration.
I am getting a consistent 35MPG!!! I could not imagine that in my S2000, the best I can achieve in my S2000 is 19MPG, even in highway driving.
The Fit is reasonably comfortable, however, I would request better seats. Going around sharp turns I feel as if I must readjust my seating position often. This is quite annoying and doesn't happen in my S2000.
The gear ratios also should be adjusted. First gear ends at 34'ish MPH. I accidentally hit the rev limiter almost every time I drive it. It should be adjusted to 40'ish MPH and 60'ish in second gear, this would be more appropriate.
Overall, it's a fun little car that I am pleased to own. It feels very solid and stable even passing at 80MPH+ on the Interstate/Highway.
The car is very high quality.
It's a Honda.
