finally a Honda

Hi. I just bought a 2015 blue Fit today. I'll be getting it next week. I intend to mod it a little to at least personalize it a little so the forum will come in handy for information. I took the LX version (trims seem to be different in Canada) so the car doesn't have the mags. The first thing to go will be the horrible capped wheels (they will serve as winter wheels) and of course a change of tires. After that we shall see.

I really like the transmission (the best manual I've had) for sure. The test drive was great and the only thing that disappointed me somewhat is how fast the car is revving in 6th gear. I looked at the tach at 100kmh/60mph and the needle was almost touching the 3000 RPM mark. I had to double check. I had a 10 year old Toyota Echo hatch before that and the needle would be at the same place but in 5th gear (it only has 5 of course). I was expecting the motor to dive down to 2000-2500 in sixth at that speed to save on gas which is mainly why there is a sixth speed in the first place. Not a biggie but surprising nonetheless.

The little 1.5 has a lot of pep for what it is.

Looking forward to read other posts and contributing once in awhile.
