Fit the bill: Honda packs a lot into latest subcompact offering | The Detroit News | detnews.com

 

It was a little painful reading that one because of the poor writing. First of all, he says 1.6 liter engine. It's a 1.5.

He says the mirrors are now mounted on the doors, but they always were.

He says 15" wheels, and they're 16".

Too many stupid metaphors, a lot of them sex-related which tells you something about him, and he insists the exterior is not pretty. That's his opinion, and he should say it's his opinion.

The only thing I liked was the mention of N. American Car of The Year. Come to think of it, it could be Motor Trend's Car of The Year.

 

"Those little 15-inch wheels (in a day when most cars come with 18s)"

What a tool. Glad he had fun testing the car, but neither of the 2 claims above are accurate. Few economy or mid class cars come with 18's. Maybe, mayyybe 17s. I'm pretty sure my gf's '08 c300 only has 17's even, and it's a pretty baller car.

 

Plus, it's not the actual size that should be considered alone, it's what size rim and tire package Fits the car best, proportionately. The 16" ers on the Fit are fine. 205/40/17 would probably look best.

It's not the size of the wheel that matters, it's how it's used.
