hi, we're in the process of finding a '09 Fit LX. i know about the back seats and how they "disappear". does the passenger seat do the same thing? i'd like to use the car to sleep in on the off chance that we can't find somewhere to stay when we travel. we're not having an easy time finding a LX auto in tidewater blue. we may have to wait until the 2010's come out.

 

um no the 09 do go back a ways, but do not fold forward flat like the 08

 

ok, thanks.

 

Mine does! the Canadian ones do. it's called "refresh mode"

 

that's super funny that the canadian ones do. so it's JUST us americans who are too FAT to fit in those little refresh-mode-compatible seats?!

 

Apparently

 

ouch! man........

 

Just kidding, i still think you're better than yugoslavia

 

No way ... seriously.. I mean really.... Awwww man that sucks for us USDM GE8 owners...

I wished my GE8 had refresh... I will get it back eventually... just gotta order the parts and install...

Can you please, please post a few pics of your Canadian GE8 refresh mode... Thanks in advance.



Yeah it's ridiculous....

 

WTB Canadian fronts seats.

 

Refresh!

it doesn't look really comfortable but it actually is

 

Yes, take it from our "Road Runner" who is our official FitFreak (BC Community) entry to the Olympic Long Distance Driving event!

 

I thought the refresh mode is with the front seat head rest off, the top of the front seat will be flush with the bottom of the back seat in fully reclined position. I know GD has it. The pic of the Canadian GE does not show that.

 

What they said.

 

Thank you very much for the pic.... it's a little unclear though if there is "hump" or if it is relatively flush like the GD's.

Is is possible to take a pic from the rear side door, to see where the rear seat, and front seat meet... to see the "flushness"... Thank you again for your efforts... it is GREATLY appreciated... thanks.

The GD's had to remove the headrest to get refresh mode...

I recall reading that the GE8's with the refresh mode didn't have to remove the headrests.... but I've never seen how it looks...

 

There is a hump, it isn't very flush lol. it's raining pretty hard here so when it clears up i'll try and remeber to take a pic

 

it's not the original refresh mode from GD...

 

because it's a GE it totally redesigned for 09 haha.

just put a pillow on the base of the seat and its the same thing :P

 

i think that's a "FAIL" on the Refresh Mode.

 

Dude, the rear seat is folded down in the picture. That's not refresh mode at all. You're supposed to be sitting IN the rear seat with your legs on the front seat in refresh mode. I guess you Canadians are fat-asses after all!

I do know that Japanese GE's have refresh mode in its true form, someone can try and buy those front seats if they want.
