My wife was stuck in traffic and was clipped by some guy pulling a trailer, then rear ended and pushed into a '13 Accord in front of her. She was not injured at all, just a bit sore for a couple weeks after. We decided to take the insurance money and get a '15. We absolutely love it so far, even though the "infotainment" system already has to be replaced by the dealer. Anyways, here are some photos:















And the new car (plus my GE):

 

Firstly, glad to hear that the wife came out okay. Cars are easily replaceable, a good wife, not so!!!

Truly a Fit family with a his/hers in the garage. That red looks sharp!!!

As for the infotainment being replaced, glad your dealer jumped on the replacement immediately.

Post your impressions when you can and big congrats on the new family member!!!!

 

Glad the wife is ok. What was wrong with the Infotainment?

 

Honda's safety rating surely helped protect your wife. Glad she was not injured and congrats on the new addition!

 

Please post a full review of your new Fit compared to your two GE Fits. It is always interesting to here from a dedicated Fit fans like you and your wife.

 

Congrats on the GK, if mine is totalled I would probably do the same

I'm glad she was ok!

 

If I had your GE, I would make sure it never gets into any mishap. Damn thing just looks toooo good!!!!!!! BTW, its you and your buddie's cars that made me sink into this current buying spree of mods (only looks and sounds).

Just trying hard to keep up with the younger crowd. My sons keep egging me on!!!!

 

wow, glad your wife is okay. at least something good came out of it, huh? congrats!

 

Glad she's OK, that's the important thing. Reassuring to see how well the passenger compartment maintained its integrity. No doubt the new one is even more robust.

By the way, I can't even tell what kind of car the brown one behind her was! Malibu?

 

What did the back seat look like after the crash? Did it get pushed forward?

 

Thanks everyone! We both agree that the most important thing is that she is ok. The car definitely did its job. The engine was pushed back almost a foot and the rear storage compartment was completely crumpled. All of the seats in the vehicle were undamaged. I believe if there were passengers in the back seat they wouldn't have been injured. Most likely sore, and picking glass out of their hair for a few days, but uninjured. I believe the car that rear ended her was a Ford Fusion. Not entirely sure about the model, but I know it was a Ford. All the cars were cleaned up before I arrived to pick her up (Had to travel the opposite direction on the highway for 8 miles to turn around and sit in the traffic caused by the accident).

We absolutely love the new Fit. I think it is much quieter than the GE, but then again I have a CAI and axle back exhaust... I can't believe how much more leg room they squeezed into the back! Especially without compromising storage space (with the seats up) all that much. The styling is brilliant and all the new features are very functional. I am especially healous of her moonroof and steering wheel controls. One of the biggest complaints I've heard on the forum is about the center armrest. My wife loves it though! She says it is comfortable and the storage is awesome, as is the extra 12V and USB input.

The infotainment unit only worked for a couple days after we bought. 90% of the time she will start her car and the HondLink screen pops up. Then a little white bar pops up with the works "Preparing Program Update" which is quickly followed by "00000006". It then freezes there. Anything related to the infotainment unit will not work then. No radio or camera feeds. When she puts the car in reverse or activates the turn signal the screen turns black and then the HondaLink screen with the numbers pops up again. The dealership said that this is the first time they have seen this problem with the Fit (and '13 Civic which uses the same system). They tried troubleshooting but ultimately are replacing the unit.

 

Shame about the '09 and good to see your other 1/2 is fine . The '15 is good in RED . Congrats and keep us updated on F.E. , performance , etc..

 

Sorry to hear about her Fit but glad it did it's job and protected her. That was a bad accident. Congrats on your new Fit - glad to see she got another one and is back on the road.

 

Thanks for sharing the infotainment issue.
