Higher ground clearance.
Rotary knob for radio volume control.
Auxiliary input for radio.

 

Two of these wishes are granted with the US and Canadian base LX models. Yay for the 5" non-touch radio.

 

I own a 2016 EX Honda Fit, and I'm quite happy so far. I have several months now (about 10 months). I basically purchased to get me from A to B, so I'm not asking much.

I live in Caribbean, we have no seasons, but in winter, it gets around 29 to 30 in the peak, mornings are cooler, 23 or 24. Humidity 70%+.

My complain could be the A/C, but I am used to open the doors, windows, blast A/C on low, no ECON mode, for 2 or 3 minutes, then drive 2 more minutes to help it cool before shutting windows, its a way of life on these latitudes. I use the car most of the time myself alone, so I have no good experience with complaining passengers.

I'm 1.79 m tall, I use the seat in the highest position, the rear view mirror blocks my 1 o'clock view, unless I lower my seat, which I rather not do, so that part of the design does not help, but it's a small car anyways.

 

1. I want wider tire, at least 195. (Stock would of been nice)

2. Better A/C compressor. Damn thing is weak.

3. A normal clutch, remove that delay valve annoying.

4. Thicker paint job, fit seem to scratch easily.

 

Not sure if this has been fixed in the newer models but the USB port on my 2010 not only does a poor job of recharging my phone but my phone actually loses charge when it's connected to it.

Anyone else have this issue?

 

I don't use the stock USB ports for charging. I bought one of these anker units, and it charges my devices much faster:

 

Yes. The phone doesn't charge as fast as it uses battery life in the USB unless it's off.

 

1. Another inch of driver leg room
2. Stronger air conditioner
3. Less vulnerable paint job

 

Thanks for the info!

 

1. Thicker body sheet metal
2. More durable cargo area walls and floor
3. Cup holders that accommodate cups with handles

 

I)Thicker body sheet metal === heavier, less fuel efficient, more underpowered
2) More durable cargo area walls & floors ... agreed, upgrade from paper
meche
3) Hun? What are you using? Heavy duty large ceramic mugs?

 

Opps, pushed wrong button ... heck, use the Civic[s turbocharged 1.5

 

1. I would willingly sacrifice 0.25 MPG for a car body that does not flex with fingertip pressure. I fear hailstorms.

3. I like drinking coffee from a kitchen mug. Dodge minivans have held kitchen mugs for decades.

 

The clutch "switch" has been on manual shift Hondas for ages. It can be annoying but it is for safety, to keep one from accidently lurching forward when starting in gear.

 

I only need one wish.

Best way to make a better Fit? Make them more like the old ones.

 

And how long has the Porsche 911 been around? They all look essentially alike, but they are under constant development and change. Retro is fine, but not at the expense of progress. Camaro and Mustang look a log like the originals, but the engines, transmissions, and suspensions are different.

 

There's progress & then there's making things worse.

The GK is no fun to drive; the day that became acceptable at Honda is the day I stopped looking forward to their new cars.

 

It is all a matter of perspective. During a stretch of bad automotive times, after the Si, I drove a Toyota Corolla ... not tossible, then a Suzuki SX4, better but an automatic and too heavy and tall. Could not fined a used 2nd Gen Fit.

If it weren't for the granny 1st gear, the 2015 Fit would be right there where I'd like it. You don't like the 3rd Gen and I do. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Hey, this is the Music City but it ain't all country anymore ... rock, jazz, blues, several stripes of gospel and even rep ... all music, pick you genre

 

I agree. I think the new fits are heinous. I'm sure someone thought the Pontiac Aztec was a good design choice too.

 

Style/looks now? There are at least 3 different brands that look very similar to the 3rd Gen. Fit.

Buick had its version of the Aztec, sans the 4 nostrils and the over done side cladding. Relatively decent looking..
