Does the fit have a dual tripometer? Those come in handy more then you might think.

I agree with most of these replies but we have to realize more goodies = higher price... Wasn't price one of the main reasons why we got the Fit? It is for me.

I got the Fit cause I really like the versatility it has. I would've paid more to get Nav and VSA (not available here). I would've even paid extra for Bluetooth and red Cluster lights...I just didn't like the Versa and the Yaris.

Are people becoming that lazy now they have to have automatic headlights? Christ it's not that hard to turn them on and off. I assume most of you have the clapper in your house that way you don't have to get up to flick a switch to turn on/off the lights. The only thing that throws me off are the gauge lights and how they are on no matter what when the car is on. I always think the headlights are on for that reason.

I just wish the turn signals were the DRLs instead of the headlights. And that it had about 30 more HP and a 6th gear for highway driving.

A 140-150hp Type R variant. I can wish, can't I?

Automatic climate control would be nice (doesn't need to be dual-zone).

some of the stuff mentioned I could do myself if I wanted to bad enough.

But sometimes I would like a 6th gear for the manual tranny, otherwise I am very happy with the car

Now we're talking! I would've payed a couple more grand for that without a thought!

i'd go for that dual climate zone. I'm always hot and my wife is always cold.


if not for anything else i'd like to have rear disk brakes just for aesthetic purposes, drums are so ugly and even worse when you get a more open wheel and want to hide the inevitable rusting down the line.

I notice several of the items mentioned are things which had failed on the BMW convertible I traded in for my Fit!

If I am not mistaken I think it is missing an engine temperature gauges which I find odd not having.

I would like a tire pressure gauge. It has TPMS already, how difficult would a readout be?

I'd like a little light at the front of the A/T console above the cup holders. I use 'em to store little things like mints, lip balm, change, etc. Would be nice to be able to see that stuff in the dark.

I would have preferred a gray interior. Black shows every spec of dirt.
