while it may be quirky, its not like our fits are the poster children for handsome vehciles! But the interior is fabulous and i don't mind the exterior.
I will say that despite its more futuristic lines, it does not look as streamlined as our fit simply because of the more puffed up shape.
I wouldn't worry about your fit being 'dated' though, as it has been 'dated' ever since its introduction in the U.S. market. Now we will have less of a chance of seeing our version all the time and be a bit more 'exclusive' (well....as much as you can be in the world of economy cars.
)
I will say that this fit may be a bit quicker than our version, as it reportedly only packs on 22lbs and has 118hp since the introduction of i-vtec on the l15. And good job to honda for including all the things like a dead pedal and armrest, that we sorely need. Hopefully our version will have em.
