sounds like those comments below are nitpicky comments... there's a lot of people griping about the fit.. i bet none of them have even test drove one...

Some driving impressions on Day 3...

"And, as I found out today, when the front wipers are activated and the vehicle is in reverse the rear wiper automatically wipes intermittently — nice touch."

Is that a Canadian thing or just something I hadn't noticed yet? First I've heard of it.

I guess your Fit hasn't seen the rain yet. At least not in reverse, because yes, it's a US feature as well.

That 3rd day log is spot on.

he must have a featherweight foot. i drive pretty conservatively and during winter time with my winter tires, i RARELY get less than 6.8L/100km. My goal next tank is to reach that 5.5L/100km that he's raving about.
