it fits the exact type of car i want time and time again, a little hatchback that i can have fun with at the speed limit or on a backroad by myself
i had a 03 mazda protege5 before this and this was the perfect more modern sequel for me

 

Yeah the utility of Fit is amazing and if combine with power, its so fun especially the sleeper aspect of it. The looks on bigger engine cars when the get beaten....

 

Today I was cruising in a residential area with various curves and dips in 3rd gear.
The engine was singing along at approx. 2700-3k RPM.
Felt like we were easily going over the speed limit, but we were only doing 55-60kph (34-37 mph) on a road with a 55kph limit.
Thoroughly entertaining, yet safe and efficient!

 

the best slow car fast you can get

 

Exactly!
Slow cars driven fast are terribly underrated!

 

That is the Miata philosophy.

 

35 mph is way too fast for a residential area.

 

I like the tall seating position,. sort of like driving a truck or SUV. It's noticeable when pulling up to a drive-up window (I should mention that I am more used to cars, which are slightly lower, even my big Impala).

I also like the sound system. I have a 2021 Subaru WRX and it's sound system is awful in comparison. But it's much faster than the Fit!

 

I love being able to get some rest at lunch time in the Fit ! I actually love the 5AT on the GE8 ! 40 mpg is nice as well.

 

I like how no one ever tries to race me at a stoplight. They see the Fit, and they KNOW it's slow, so they don't even bother.

In my other cars, every kid with a newly-minted license wants to race me at a red light. It gets old after awhile.

 

2015 EX. The smooth ride. I have a 2004 Lexus ES that rides very harshly, even after rebuilding the suspension (mostly) which was a huge disappointment. Might not make sense, I know, but in most situations the Honda provides an excellent ride quality.

 

I did a pull against a guy in a Charger R/T a few months ago. Of course I lost, but he was surprised at how fast it for up to. The road was basically a 1/4 - 1/2 mile dragstrip and I got it up to maybe 105 mph with a safety margin for braking. For comparison, in my 2006 Accord V6, I've gotten up to ~125 there.

Some people hear the extra rumble from my HKS Silent Hi Power and try their hand. Basically all of them can beat me, but I can catch them by surprise. Of course all stunts are performed on a closed course in Mexico. One of these days, I gotta take my GK5 6 speed to a dragstrip and see what she actually puts down in the quarter mile.

 

Where I live there's several cuvry roads and highways.
Folks usually leave me in the dust at lights ( I don't even bother trying to keep up).
But as soon as we start encountering the curves, I quickly catch up and proceed to pass them.
I attribute all my handling improvements to the HFP suspension.

 

Same here. I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, about 20 minutes outside of DC. There's all sorts of twisty roads in the western half of the county, plus you have I-495 and I-270 where the speed limit may as well be 85 mph. So they have a bit of something for everyone.

I was doing some back roads cruising a month or 2 ago with a few friends, all of whom have larger and faster cars than my GK5. They were amazed by how well planted it was in the turns and how I could easily catch back up to them after they took off in the straights. That 2500 lb curb weight is a thing of beauty, especially on a modern car.

 

Nobody can drive my Fit because it's a 6 speed stick.

 

SORRY

Some of us can drive manual gearbox cars. The last 6 speed I drove, was a MX5 well over 10 years ago. Now I'm happier using a CVT

 

I love 2 things
a. no sunlight reflections in the dashboard
b. for only 100 mm ( 4 inches ) longer body. I have a heaps more room to fit stuff inside.

 

Nobody has ever asked me to borrow my car because it's a stick. 👍👍👍

 

I'm glad it FITs you lifestyle

 

Since my area people park like a-holes, I hate when Im in my Pilot and can't find a parking spot. My first thought is "My Fit would have fit!"
