2016 Fit EX-L navi......
Hi Fit Freaks, I'm in the market for my first Fit. I'm looking for a 2016 EX-L or EX-L navi made in Japan but cannot find one. I have found plenty of 2016 EX models made in Japan but no EX-L. The only 2016 EX-L's I have found are built in Mexico. Anyone else having this problem?

Freeway Honda in Birmingham. I had no intention of getting the leather until I saw the difference

Interestingly, I drove a 2016 LX that was made in Japan as a loaner for my 09 Fit.

I test drove an EX-L this year when my GD3 was totaled. Loved the look of the leather, but the seats were as hard as a rock. Even after 10 min. driving, I was quite uncomfortable. Wound up getting an LX w/cloth seats that were much more comfortable, to me at least. If you're in the market for an EX-L, take a good long test drive before you buy it; hopefully your experience will be different than mine.

4 hour drive in my wife's EX-L this weekend. Seats were supremely comfortable. Very happy with the leather choice so far versus the cloth of her old Fit. Too early to comments on durability but nothing so far suggests it will be a problem.

I thought some more about the leather after reading some comments here and there is just absolutely no question that I would make the same choice again on that score. It just gives the cabin such a clean and upscale look. It's not Lexus quality leather but who expects that? It's entirely within the range of what can be found in mainstream offerings from other manufacturers.

Seat covers? Eeewww. Maybe she should try a sun screen for the front window.

The Mexican built Fits are better improved in quality compared to when the new plant first opened back in summer of 2014.
There's always a learning curve regardless of manufacturing origin for any make or model if starting with a new plant and new model; double whammy.
Does the manufacturing origin really make a difference?
Would it really prevent you from the purchase?
EXL and EXL-N demand is currently higher than the stock available at dealers.
If you find one in the right color, you should buy it!

Seat Covers
Seat covers over leather is like wearing a t-shirt over a tux.

Yep, one of the 5 reasons I don't like leather in car:
- Hot in summer
- Cold in winter
- Certain fabrics are too slippery on leather; I road tested nylon pants and it was a slip and slide experience
- Lighter colored leather will absorb and stain easier than similarly colored fabrics with less ability to remove stains
- The leather starts to break down in 10+ years and depending on care, starts to look horrible with wrinkles, cracks and sags. Check Craigslist cars for sale of the same make and year that offered leather or fabric to see the difference.
