I bought my 2015 Honda Fit LX back in December. I have had it for a little over six months and just ticked passed 10,000 miles, so I thought I'd put up a review.

Interior
The inside has a lot of room for how small the car is. And with all the different ways you can fold the seats its easy to "fit" whatever you need. I mostly move guitars and amps around so I lay the one seat down for the guitars and raise the other seat for amps to go on the floor and the other side in the trunk. I do like how the LX model came with a smaller screen, and had buttons and knobs for the radio. There is just something satisfying about turning UP the radio with a knob than tapping a touch screen. The LX has 1 USB port, 1 AUX port and 1 cigarette lighter port, and Bluetooth. There is also a good amount of storage by the driver in the door with bottle holder, middle armrest, 2 cup holders, and a small storage tray by the E-brake and one by the cup holders.

Exterior
The new shape of the FIT great. The LX came with 15 inch Steelies that I will hopefully get changed out for something else soon. There are a lot of windows on this car and it almost seems as if you are driving in a fish bowl. I got the windows tinted and once I did the ride was much better.

Driving it
I drove an EG hatch for a while and when I started driving the FIT it felt like home. The steering is real smooth on turns, and the car grips and handles well. It doesnt have much power being a 4 cylinder but I still get a kick out of pushing the RPMs. The car has Honda's new i-DTEC which is kinda like VTEC but with another cycle added in. You dont really feel the i-DTEC kick in but you do hear it and it does make a nice little purr. Its a really fun car to drive around town.
I live in a busy suburb of Chicago and I usually get about 32 MPG with all the stop lights, stop signs, and traffic. With Chicago highway driving I usually get around 37 MPG and that also with traffic. I took it on a trip to Nashville and the speed limit was 70 MPH and I was able to get 40-42 MPG.

What I Have Done
-I got my first Oil change about 5,000 Miles and the Oil was at 50%. I found that I noticed a lose in acceleration/power and MPG after the oil was at about 60-70%. When my Oil gets to about 60% I start planning for an oil change.
-Rocked a pot hole in the City and had a slow leak on the front right Tire. Had that replaced.
-Window Tints 35% all around
-Rain Visors
-Mud Guards
-Blue LED Map, Dome, Hatch Lights
-Bullet Bill Sticker
-Bullet Bill LCD screen JPEG
-FRiEQ Car air purifier

If I do anything else to the car I will keep you updated. Let me know what you think, and if you have questions ask.

 

thank you for sharing you review, nice pictures, my question how you change the screen image ?

 

I found an image on Google and saved it to a USB drive. Plugged the USB into the port...

1) Menu/Clock
2) Settings
3) Wallpaper
4) Import
5) Select
In the select option you have a Clock option
And space for 3 Images

Only downfall I have found is that with the image I no longer can see the song/band name of the song on the radio.

 

Chicago, the Toddling Town, broad shoulders and all. My daughter-in-law is from Lamont and my son met her while he did some bumper music for Danny Bonaduche. He lived in the area for about a year and then came back home to Nashville.

I have a Milano Red 2015 Fit EX 6 speed manual with a newly acquired parking lot gouge on the right rear fender Next time you visit Nashville (Madison is a suburb), let me know.

 

2015 Fit LX Wallpaper I posted a few on that thread. Unfortunately with wallpaper you cannot get the radio to display its songs and authors.

 

Great pictures! I didn't know it got that sunny in Chicago.

 

Haha, Oh yes it does. And it gets HOT. We get all the extremes of weather during the seasons. And if you don't like the weather in Chicago, wait ten minutes.

 

Pretty much the same here in Tennessee except it generally doesn't get as cold nor does it snow anywhere near as much. Hot/humid today 88 degrees real, feels like 99.

EX Fit's A/C is barely adequate. SX4's climate control was superior.

 

Nice review. I got mine in May. About to hit 5,000miles.
