2015 Honda Fit

2015-Honda-Fit-RS-Driving.jpg

The 2015 Honda Fit was announced today. Japan gets three engine options, including the sporty RS and a Hybrid.

Frankly, I like the look; certainly more than the current Fit and more than any other Honda in the last few years.

Full story here:

Looks good, not great though. Interior is interesting, if not a little weird.

True. But that minivan shape is what goes into its name, the FIT. There's a reason it has the biggest and most versatile interior in a sub-compact.

I thought that was the Hyundai Accent?
Either way, Fit is always a big seller.

Looks like the CRV and Odyssey had a one-night stand and this is their resulting love child. I find it unattractive, as I do the prior fits.

Never liked the Honda Fit design; just TFU for my taste. The new body style remains mini-van-like, but I like it!

The minivan look and horrible cupholder placements killed it for me.
I didn't even drive it out of the parking lot when I test drove it...

We enjoy the '11 Fit . No issues as of yet with 26,000+ miles . The average gas mileage for the past 2+1/3 years is 36 , http://www.fuelly.com/driver/cinder/fit . Didn't enter it to Fuelly after purchase until May '12 , kept the F.E. in a black book . . Would get the hybrid in a blink of the eye . For each their own .

So Fuelly doesn't allow you to enter past fill ups? If not, do you know if any of the other sites that perform the same/a similar function allow past fill ups to be entered? I have a spiral bound logbook (and it is Black ) that is slightly smaller than an iPad. I ran out of room in it, so I just take 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of plain white bond/copy paper (I buy them by the ream -- $2.97 for 500 sheets at Wal-Mart and don't just use the sheets for this purpose), fold the 11" side in half, tear the sheet apart and use both sides of each of the two halves. These loose sheets easily fit (as a bundle in chronological order) inside the spiral bind. I keep a rubber band around the book so the sheets won't fall out. I don't have anything from my logbook logged into any database.

Can't complain about this . 40.47 m.p.g. for the base model FIT with the 5 speed auto .

Fuelly does allow you to do that. I found a bundle of old receipts with my mileages written on them to catch up my backlog before I used the site.
