Wow!!!

Test drove the fit today... AT Sport/Black

Let me just say that the interior fit and finish is amazing! I'm not familiar with the first gen but this definitely has to be better. The utilization of space is great and its a great driver oriented car. No wasted space!

As for the drive, no its not fast. But in my opinion, its more fun to drive a slow car fast. This car turns on a dime and thats the fun of it. I didn't really use the paddle shifters, but if I buy one, im getting a MT.

I agree, the interior fit and finish is top notch.

waraeor is an unknown quantity at this point
Look guys, the 1st gen Fit's fit and finish (say that 10 x fast) was already leaps and bounds better than any competition. Some mags even say "Acura grade", alluding to the gauge cluster treatment.

When I sat in the new one, even after seeing many photos of the interior prior to this, I was really impressed. Honda somehow improved the materials and design for relatively little premium over the 1st gen's list price. Now the "competition" must be throwing their hands up in the air.
