i really don't like that start button...

im still a turn key I,II, kinda guy.... and it adds another layer to trouble shoot if you can't start your car.

maybe im just not use to the idea just yet.

Disappointed about the gearing of the 6 m/t. I wanted a true overdrive for less buzzy highway driving, not shorter shifts.

How about the fact that there is ABSOLUTELY no way to use the driver center console arm rest. I guess if you are on a 8 hour drive you just let your right arm hang down until it goes numb and then you just let it get gangrene. Such a stupid mistake by Honda.

Mine is not listed in the poll, but it has to be the wind noise inside the cabin even when all windows are up. I wonder if anyone else here are experiencing significant wind noise while driving on the freeway.

Also, my android worked via bluetooth on my previous 13 civic, but in the 15 fit it's not recognizing my android phone (Not referring to thru HDMI plug in) Just bluetooth to stream audio. Maybe because this updated Honda Link is bluetooth 4.0 and not backward compatible?? Are there anyone else here who can't connect their android phones via bluetooth?

I agree with fitnew that the armrest is useless and a MAJOR nuisance. Does anyone know if there is, or will be, an aftermarket useable armrest available?

Moonroof (EX only)- Whats not to love? If you are 6'5 or taller may be an issue.

Lane watch Camera (EX only)- Cool feature. Some complain of the "wart" under the mirror. I think the function far outweighs any visual issues.

Back up camera- All automated with 3 different viewing angles.

Bluetooth phone integration- Instantly connects to my Note 3 every time. Even reads my texts to me while driving.

Touch screen infotainment system- We don't need no stinking knob! Use the handy steering wheel controls.

Smart entry push button start (EX only)- I love this. I never have to take my keys out of my pocket. How convenient!

Drivers sider extended view side mirror- OK this one is a little useless. I just use it to get a quick extra peripheral.

CVT or 6 MT (compared to last years auto or 5 MT)- I really like my CVT. New technology and super smooth easy driving.

Greater back seat legroom- Thats a bonus for any passengers. Cargo space still rocks!

Higher HP/Fuel economy (compared to last years)- Umm how could this be a negative?

Oh wait was this supposed to be a post on negatives. Sorry, I have none. Very pleased with my new Fit.

Extended view mirror sucks. Need I say more

Everything else is just fine.

No pause or stop on most of the audio types important to me, like USB.

No armrest.

The "press ok to be a responsible driver" disclaimer every time. I will glady sign a written contract indicating that I will always follow it under penalty of death, if I can get it to stop asking me every time.

That's it I can think of at the moment.

I never wanted to say anything about the "extended view mirror" because I thought it was just me, but I hated that thing. I couldn't understand what it was supposed to do and I even asked the salesman to explain it to me
I get the jist of it, but it did nothing but make things look weird to me and I didn't like it.

My least favorite "feature" is the setup of the trim levels, which forces you to buy an EX-L to get pretty basic things like heated mirrors and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Yeah it really is, but the rest of the car is a win win for me!

I hate that many of you guys still have not gotten your cars. This delivery "feature" really stinks, and I hope Honda corrects it FAST!


I think you will find that the spread of opinions on the features means that Honda pretty much got it right in this car.

There is no feature that I hate, just features I like more than others. Even the center console, while lower than many want, has lots of space and very usable power and USB connectors. On the prior Fit that would have meant the aftermarket center console and lots of electrical work to duplicate the ports.

Actually the lower center console made it very comfortable to hold hands with the Mrs. on our recent trip.

The audio power button functions just like a pause button for usb. Hit it and music stops, hit it again and it picks back up exactly where it left off.

I just don't understand the lack of consistency between audio modes. Why not have it incorporated on the steering wheel.

That would be nice to have it on the wheel.

I am against talking on the phone while driving, hence I chose "bluetooth phone integration as the most dangerous and unwanted feature".

Here is why:

I'm not even going to learn how to use the hands free crap. I don't touch my phone while in the car period.
