2015 Honda Fit is a great little car but the electronics aren't up to par .

 

I'm not keen on the honda link app. For me, I'd get the EX-L with integrated navi and leave it at that.

 

Thanks for posting up the article. I love reading all the different reviews. I'm stuck between the LX and EX models. I really don't want or need a moonroof. Lightweight is a priority and I don't know how much weight the leather seats would add. Heated mirrors, etc I don't need.

What grabbed me the most for some reason is the curb weight range of "Weighs 2,513 to 2,642 lbs.". I want to know specifically what the weight ranges are of the CVTs. I'm looking for the lightest of the bunch between the different trims. 100lbs difference in weight with this small car is significant for me. Since they stated this --> "Manual transmission models rated 29 mpg in the city, 37 mpg highway, 32 mpg combined city/highway. Base LX with CVT, 33/41/36. Other CVT models, 32/38/35.", I'm thinking the Base LX with CVT is the lightest of the bunch since it is getting slightly better fuel mileage.

 

CVT is slightly heavier than the manual but the wider top gear ratio and ability to keep the engine in the most effective rpm for economy means the CVT wins for economy.

I cant recall the weight difference off the top of my head but I think its nearly 20kg extra for the CVT versus the manual.

 

Same here after hearing some bad reviews of the HondaLink. If honda comes out with the CarPlay system that should be better but I have a feeling it will not be on the current 2015 Fit but perhaps on the other Honda 2015 models coming out later in the year. I'll grab the dash Nav system as I have on my 2013 Civic.

 

I'm a 59 year old technophobe, and I sat in the EX and found the infotainment system to be nothing less than a piece of cake. I just don't get this criticism.

 

I'm a 24 and honestly all i care about is that is has a CD player and Aux haha

I don't care about all the tech goodies cause i never use them and just focus on the drive while listening to some music

 

For me, a very well implemented Bluetooth phone integration is of primary importance. By that I mean, my phone should pair instantly and consistently, the car's display should clearly display who is calling when the phone rings. The buttons controlling answering and operating the phone functions should be intuitive and not require me to look away from the road or go through some convoluted series of steps to make or answer a call. And the audio quality to me and my caller should be clear. So far, none of the reviews of the Fit have addressed these issues.

Things like honda-link, pandora and AHH audio might be cool things to play with, but they are very secondary to a intuitive telephone functionality.

 

All of those things are excellent in my 2012 Fit- every one of them. The only thing I would appreciate is traffic updates in the navi and it looks like that has been added to the integrated navi in the EX-L. That's all the 'tainment' I need on the road- solid navi and strong phone pairing options. It's all the other goodies in the EX-L that I would go for without hesitation.
