Geez, I didn't know it does not come with a temp gauge. That could be important to me. With a gauge, you can tell if the engine is running a little hot or cool, which could help you figure out if you have a stuck thermostat or something. A warning light may be too late. At least it has a tach. A lot of cars don't nowadays, and I'm starting to think that no tach could be a deal breaker for me. I was just happy to find out that the '09 Fit has a spare tire.
