[QUOTE=TCroly;1231476]Lots of new reviews. Enjoy................................/QUOTE]


Great job dude.

Man!!!! Some of these journalists have dashed some of my hopes. That said, the 7th review listed by Automobile's Joseph Caparella (a GE owner himself), wrote:"......the Fit still feels a lot more lively and willing to hustle than competitors like the listless Nissan Versa, especially when equipped with the slick, satisfying standard six-speed manual transmission."
Another positive are the rpm readings at 60 mph:
6-speed MT with 15 in wheels and tires: 2,586 RPM
CVT with 15 in wheels and tires: 1,827 RPM
6-speed MT with 16 in wheels and tires: 2,640 RPM
CVT with 16 in wheels and tires: 1,865 RPM


To all those who had concerns about the GK's fuel consumption, the Ward's write-up says: "the LX achieving 44 mpg (5.3 L/100 km) over an almost-all-freeway route". That was an LX-manual. That beats even Honda's published figures of 37 MPG Hwy. Definitely, satisfying results! Wasn't dreaming when I previously posted that some Fit Freak is going to squeeze 55 mpg in the near future!!!

Time to see what accordguyintake has to say.

The true test remains - driving it ourselves. Come on, fellow FF's from the mainland, go to your dealerships this weekend and make some reviews!!!!!!

I will have to take a look at these when I get to work! And yes, definitely I'm going to test drive as early as a week from now and will review. Although I wouldn't say I'm a "Fit Freak," more of a well-informed consumer

Thank you for gathering all the links!

Edmunds' first drive:

2015 Honda Fit First Drive

They're pretty happy with it.

Car and driver has the pricing from $14k to $37k. I find that to be odd.

Must be the optional diamond encrusted shift knob.

Actually they are referring to the fit EV at $37k, even though you cannot buy it. It is lease only.

The rear beam is now fully boxed so it's stiffer than the old U-channel piece. I'd still want to see what a Progress bar could add to it. As far as I can tell, there's now no mechanical difference between trims, just "features". That makes the base LX look good to me.
