Hi to ALL FF members.It had be time that all of us had enjoy and love(or maybe not love)the Honda FIT from 2007 to 2014.Many of us had have a great time with our FITs.I'm loving mine for so many reasons.Loving the cargo space area,the fuel economy,is a fun to drive car,easy to park in tight spaces and maybe a lot of reasons from all of us.I went to my local Honda dealer and ask when the new FIT will be in the streets.They told me from the end of March or the first or second week of April.I'm really want to see this new FIT in person.Is the only way if i will like it or not.A picture or a video from You-tube is not enough.For me i think that the ALL NEW 2015 Honda FIT will be a HIT.We are going to see a lot of them in the streets in this year.Maybe for ALL of us it will be a GOOD chance to change ours FITs and grab the new 2015 model.In my case i will keep my 2010.I'm happy and glad with my GE8.Like the title said....Do you my friend will like to change your FIT for the new 2015 model???If YES or NO...Why???Let see what all members will like to said...

 

Plenty of miles left on my '07. It's got 150K miles. Would not want one of the "first ones out of the chute" for a new model from a new assembly plant. Will probably get a new Fit when the time comes, but not yet.

 

Hi spreadhead...My wife has the 2007 Honda Fit Sport and she still love the car.It had 94k....I understand your point in not buying the first ones coming out.You have a GOOD point there.I think is very important that the first lot most come out with no issues and also with no "small" problems of production on the car.They must have no recalls to be a GOOD HIT if they want to sell a lot of them.If you have the chance to buy it my friend i hope you enjoy it .I was thinking....Who will be the first US citizen to buy one???Maybe one from the forum....

 

Definitely will buy the new one
got to move on with new technology and plan for the future

 

I sat in a 2015 at a recent auto show, its worlds nicer than both the GD and GE, it is also better on gas.

The only flaw? Its still horrifically uncomfortable and the rear seat is now unusable for anyone 5'11" or taller, yes it has more legroom but at the sacrifice of any headroom.

 

Yeah I was wondering about the headroom of the new FIT. Since it looks noticeably shorter than previous versions...I thought that may be a problem. If this turns out to be true, it's kind of a shame.

 

Height is not the issue, its the position of the rear seat, its shifted further towards the rear and in my case, places my head at exactly the point where the roofline begins to drop.

Thus, no headroom for me and I'm only 6' tall.

 

The new Fit. I just can't imagine myself in it, it's just not for me. Wayyyyy too hefty looking.

 

I won't be upgrading to the GK, I plan on keeping the GE for as long as I can and just upgrading things as I need to in order to keep me interested

 

I'd definitely like to get the'15 Fit, but I just can't justify it. My Fit has given me 5 years of trouble free service and I couldn't justify trading it in and paying probably a 10k difference to upgrade when I have at least another 5 years left in my car.

 

It just wouldn't be financially responsible for me to upgrade my 2012 Fit at this point with only 13K on it. Just getting the engine broke in and love it as much as the day I bought it.

However I will be reading with interest about the experiences of those who buy the new 2015. No doubt it will be a nice car with some nice upgrades over the GE but I'll sit tight and observe for awhile.

 

I got 55k miles on my Fit sport. Bought new winter tyres and summer tires this year. It's in perfect condition and has all the sweet upgrades: clazzios, dead pedal, remote start. Plus mine is made in Japan, rather than Mexico or China. Why mess with perfection ?

I'm more interested in a Fit EV. My next car will be an electric. Hopefully in the near future I will win the lottery and buy a Tesla lol

 

I'm assuming you sat in the driver's seat? That was "horrifically uncomfortable"? It appears in the all-new '15 Fit you sit somewhat lower in the front compared with the GE. In the GE you feel like you're perched on top of the driver's seat instead of sitting in the seat.

I have a feeling some of the folks here saying they'll stick with what they have just might be changing there tune once they see the '15 Fit in person and test drive it. Everything about it seems A+++. We'll see in the next several weeks.

 

I still felt like I was sitting on the car, not in it.

As usual with Fits, the seats were junk, I sat in the car for about 3 minutes, already started to get the back ache that takes my GD about 30 minutes to provide (it takes about 1.5 hours for a GE to get to that back pain stage).

 

2011 Fit for me, and I'm 6' 3". The rear seats ar just fine, with good headroom/leg room. Will be getting the 2015 Fit with even better rear leg room, leather and all those bells and whistles.

 

I really wonder how much is truly to the whole "made in Japan, so it's better" mind set a lot of people seem to have. Are there any statistics that show cars made by Euro/Japanese companies outside of their home countries really fair any worse in craftsmanship or reliability?

 

This is and old perception issue. There was a time (many, many years ago) that cars manufactured in Mexico might have been slightly inferior to cars made in other countries. I think most people zero in on VW products, most of which are made in Mexico for American consumption. Jetta's are not known for being very reliable for example but this is a VW issue and not a country of manufacture issue. I know of lots of VW's and Audi's manufactured in Germany that are an absolute nightmare. The new Honda Celaya facility is a world class plant and will produce world class Honda vehicles.

 

No. I've already got a bond going on with this one and like the simplicity. Perfect for me, I feel no need for a change.

 

You just completely missed the point of my post.

Yes, the '15 Fit has more rear legroom, however unless you have the torso of someone who is about 5'8", you won't have ANY headroom.

 

is the new fits really THAT much advanced? kinda hard to believe. can't you just get a new HU with BT and everything to update your car to 2014/2015?
