It is magical. I'll let you rub it for $5... Best full tank MPG has been 47 but that was before I changed to 205/50/16 tires. Great gas mileage was a priority for buying the Fit since I knew I would be moving and having to do a longer commute.

Link to last time I posted my magical gas numbers...

The phrase is, "I couldn't care less..." Cause the way you say it, you CAN actually care less.

trying to get on Rismo's level. for the time being, my not-as-magical car is averaging 37.6 mpg. that # should increase as I'm finally learning how to drive this thing

to stay on topic, I wish honda added a passenger side vent cup holder. the one provided on drivers side, throws off symmetry

Probably 'cause they don't have a 3rd gen ;)

Remember, you are sitting on top of the gas tank already. :)

Symmetry? Who really cares, beyond you? While I use the driver's side cupholder, it interferes with air flow.

Being short … long torso, short legs, the height adjustment was the first thing I looked for. Opps, there it is.

I could have sworn the thread was titled:

"Little things you wish Honda had done "

That said ..... I wish .... honda added 1 more cup holder .... because I care about symmetry.


(if I failed to participate in this thread in the correct manner, someone please show me the error of my ways)

No problem. I have long arms as opposed to short legs, so a right side dash cup holder would be useless to me. You would want a cup holder there. No problem. I'd like more ways to open the hatch, both from the interior and the exterior, little things that should be included on subsequent generations.

I really really wish my 2015 Fit had the upper cupholders (the ones directly in front of the vents) on both the drivers and passenger's side. Not sure why Honda removed this, I get very jealous when I see this on 2nd gen Fits. I also wish the cupholders in the doors were a bit bigger, they do not fit the large 64 ounce drinks from gas stations.

The large 64 ounce drinks do not fit in my stomach. And they did, they would not fit in my bladder. I put 24 ounce soda bottles in my doors, but those are too big for my bladder too. What happened to 6 oz bottles of Coca Cola? Every gas station used to have a vending machine with those.

Rear disc brakes
 

i'll probably always feel a little pang of regret everytime i see those tiny rear drums

And put the Fit in an entirely different price class, above the Civic, add weight , and reduce mileage. The 914 cost what in terms of 2015 dollars.

Opps, misread original post and I thought that 4WD was included. My bad, what I get for responding at 8AM Sunday morning. Yeah, the rear discs would add much if any weight. /but remember that the rear wheels do little on a front drive passenger car but keep the rear bumper from dragging. Sports cars being different.

i would too. the brakes are very weak on the GK and i frequently shift into S-mode to get additional braking from the engine especially while i have my family on board.. teens arent light. i kinda just learned to live with the flaws of the car and found new value within.

Cost, safety n performance!!! Rear discs would certainly be an improvement.

However, my approach in purchasing both of my Fits (previous '07 GD and current '15 GK), was knowing my intended use with a price point that made me happy. The Fit is marketed as an economy Sub-compact, therefore I drive it like one. No latebraking at corners nor tire burning starts. Shifting the 6MT and occasionally stretching out that VTEC, satisfies me enough.

Nevertheless, we all have our differing individual opinions. Because my GD was auto, the decision to get the manual on the GK, with the driving satisfaction it has continually provided, has made me "liking more it for what it is".

it's much more structurally sound that way , one of the things that makes the chassis so solid for a 2500 lb car , it also ads to the steering responce and handling in a big way .i haven't noticed extra noise to the cabin , if there is i can live with it .switch to a wider tire , it'll quiet things down a bit

right handed world.. :(
