2.) The engine light is there to let you know to drive gently as the engine oil warms up. This is normal.

The engine is loud?

2007 Honda Fit db @ idle = 40.5
2007 Honda Fit db @ full throttle = 77.3

2008 Honda Accord db @ idle = 41.7
2008 Honda Accord db @ full throttle = 78.7

3.) It's called a test drive. Did you ever take one? If you bought a car without an extensive test drive first to see if you liked the way it drove and rode then that is your fault, not Honda's. Sorry if you are disappointed with your car. If you want a softer ride and more power you might check out the Nissan Versa or the Scion xD. I'm sure you will find there are things you don't like about those cars too though. If you are spending less than $20k on a car you should EXPECT to make some compromises. The Fit is easily best-in-class according to any serious car magazine but I totally understand the desire for a softer ride or a bit more power. Next time do your homework and take a test drive before you buy a car though.

nice find!

i will get our DB meter from work and do a DB test the next time i go home....just to be sure it's accurate
