going to vegas in 1 month...debating should i drove the fit or rent a car. how comfy is it on long trips? im just afraid of rock chips after the trip..and afraid it won't make it up the hills going to vegas. haha..no, seriously.

 

Just blue tape that sucker up real nice and save your front end.

 

PFFT!!!!

I went to St. George, Utah with my FIT. Had a medium cooler with ice and drinks, 2 people in the car and luggage...made it to vegas with about an 8th of a tank left...AND i used A/C


*its pretty stiff. Lowered on Skunk2 springs and brand new Falken Azenis(made a big difference, cause of the stiff side walls) Personally, I like stiff rides. but non of my buddies complained about the stiffness.



Don't sweat it, you'll make it.

 

I was thinking of driving my car to Vegas next weekend as well.

 

I have taken the Fit to Vegas a few times. A couple turn around trips and a few over nighters with my wife, no complaints

 

i've been to vegas at least once a month since june last year and took my Fit every time. my passengers said they were very comfortable and i got 43 mpg going 70mph all the way.. the only complaint i got was about road noise. we were listening to dave chappelle so i just cranked up the volume

 

I took the Fit to Vegas last May with 5 people in the car, a full cooler, 4 full carryon suitcases.

No problems. We never got faster than like 70MPH but we made it there and back fine.

 

I drove my GE8 to Vegas before. No problems whatsoever. Just wish I had more power on the uphill sections.

 

i love it how Matt always talks with a Track lingo...more power on the "uphill section"?!? hahaha UPHILL SECTIONS?!

 

Man is the second time I was caught talking track lingo. My bad... Force of habit. But there really are uphill sections on the way to Vegas...

 

You shouldn't have any troubles on the trip, but the car may feel sluggish on the uphills. That's pretty much the only reason why I got a KWSC in the first place.

Good luck in Vegas!

 

ezzzz. just drop it into 4th or third haha




as you can see the car was bone stock with no mods haha

 

You'll make it! the gd made it safe and sound 4 times now with 3 people in the car and a ton of luggage. cruisin' down the strip in the fit was prettty fun only thing is that the cabin gets pretty noisy at times but i just put the music up louder

 

drive there all the time in the fit....I'm actually going tomorrow =D

 

going up hill with the wife's luggage was scary... are you going to the rockabilly weekend in vegas?? im going 1-4th of april

 

Same here... with my GD though

 

been down to vegas four times and then to L.A. from vegas twice (socal fit meets) then back to vegas and home - fits do fine, i do suggest atleast blue tapeing the front end though, i learned the hard way with my GD when i hit a sand storm for a couple miles, stopping wouldn't have helped i think it was moving faster than i was, i'll be coming down to the wilson park meet next month and will have the blue nose mask on for sure - drive safe dude!

 

Everyone is going tomorrow I'll be there Sunday if anyone is still left there

 

I'll be leaving on Sunday. But try to keep an eye out for me!

 

Just went there in my S2k. I also taped up the front bit of my car that didn't have a clear bra (had to get a new hood recently and I haven't gotten any clear bra on it yet). A Fit would be so much more comfortable. Left on Sunday as well...6 hours to get home -_-

Never leave around noon on a Sunday.
