The 5AT on the Fit revs much lower at freeway speeds. I dont know how much slower it is though than the 5MT.

60mph 2100 rpm
70mph 2450 rpm
80mph 2800 rpm

Hey 60somethings, how did you get the fold-flat seats in a non-rs model?

Quote:

any news...?
did he get the fit yet...?
we would love to see some more comparison photos...
(side by side, front, rear, profile, bumpers, ground clearance... etc...)
or even some actions

apparently he gets the fit at the beginning of june, so i will be sure to post some pics as soon as he gets it.

Stuffy,

The 60/40 split rear seat is part of the Power Pkg on the U.S. liftback.

I'm in USA's Vancouver - as the Mayor refers to the City - better known as Vancouver, Washington.

We were lucky to have an excellent fleet mgr to work with and he managed to find, and grab, an almost fully loaded stick-shift liftback for us. Wife and I love driving it!

I think they should have taken some design keys from there new civics and accords and incorporated them into the FIT. I love the looks of the new civics, their hot. Plus i think the FIT would look better as a 3-door rather then a 5-door IMO.

I see you still don't understand the Fit's goals. 3 doors is now obselete and no practical at all. The civics is for more older drivers. Fit is for young people!

Buh bye loser.

3 Doors is now OBSELETE? I think the differ.

The Civic is for "older" drivers??????? I guess he is afraid 20 and 30 somethings can't handle the 195 HP on the SI. I love my Yaris RS, but the SI is a rocket (and should be at over $10K Can. more)!!!!!!!

corey415 · 05-18-2006, 12:44 PM

Well Honda has definitely been marketing the Fit towards a younger demographic.

Also, the 06 Si has 197 hp.

Yaris Revenge · 05-18-2006, 04:31 PM

Ah, benfal2001's so full of hot air, he floats. He's just stirrin' up trouble. Jealousy, I think, over being so young and stuck driving a minivan.

EDIT: Hey, I just noticed he's banned! Hooray for the good guys!

a fellow on a honda forum took pictures of his fit beside his oddysey....

...do you think the comparisons are justified?

why? · 05-26-2006, 10:11 PM

Yes, they are way too similar.

ricko · 05-27-2006, 12:51 PM

Wow ..... they are similar. The Fit looks like an Odysey that shrunk in the wash. "Honey I Shrunk the Van!"

bigbull · 06-01-2006, 09:13 AM

I just spent 2 months looking at cars and taking test drives, deciding what to buy. There were a lot of nice cars out there but my primary concern was to get a car that was fuel efficient, second was how it looked and third was can I afford it. Toyota was the last place I went to because with it's reputation I was most likely going to end up in one... although when I went in I was looking for the Corolla. I walked in the door saw the Yaris Sedan and fell in love with the way it looked compared to all the others I had been looking at, the Honda's, Mazda's, Hyundai's and Kia's were all put to shame by this car. Then I got behind the wheel and found it drove real nice too. All they had available to test drive was the Auto but I made the decision to buy one (of course I got the manual) and I have been having fun in it since... and I still think it looks better than the rest!

Dylanby · 06-01-2006, 09:27 AM

I actually think the Fit looks kinda cute (looks better in person). But in my overall impressions of the two vehicles, it falls behind. Also during my test drive the AT on the Fit produced some unsual noises. I hear some people who bought a Fit with an auto are having some problems.

Saw one yesterday on the street. Silver with nice tint job. From the side they actually look ok. The rear is boring & generic. I can't recall if it was sport trim or not (I don't like the side skirts on the sport trim).

stuffy · 06-01-2006, 10:46 AM

i think they look the worst from the side, that is where they are most mini-vannish, the side is just flat with windows, just like a van.
i don't mind them from the front.
