Base seat vs Sport seats

Had a question for someone who has a base fit. When I test drove the FIT back in April 21st when the FIT was just released, I test drove a lunar mist base FIT. I was able to adjust the height of the driver seat. I noticed that my sport FIT doesn't have height adjustable seats. Is this something just for the base FITs?

I have a base Fit, and I assure you there is no seat height adjuster.

Disregard the question...

I just remembered it was in the Civic...I test drove both cars that day because I was choosing between the civic and the fit....sorries

I guess that post about not seeing the front hood got to me when I was driving home in the FIT tonight and tried siting a little higher to see if I could see the front lol....

you'll never see the hood no matter how high the seats are. for a test, try sticking your head as close to the windshield as you can.

I have the seat adjustments on my GD1. Its pretty useless imo. I wish it was functional like the ones in the Scion TC.

What do you mean by useless? It doesnt adjust high enough or something?

Um, the base seats have a different color scheme compared to the sport version, here in Canada. I believe this also applies in the US

Exactly, thats what I felt when I first tried it out. My wife is 5 foot tall and she agrees with me.

Yep I can confirm that. The best I can do is see the top of the headlight bubble when pulling into my tiny garage! That's my head to the ceiling and windshield...
