Hey, I'm just wondering how all of you who have been experiancing that freezing rain / Snow been handling it with the Fit? I love the snow and ice but I'm used to it in my neck of the woods. I'm sure for alot of you this is the first time you've driven on ice. I love ebraking around the bends when there's no traffic. Not a big fan of the layers of ice build up on the car though.

 

I've been practicing my e-brake turns in the ice and snow haha...quite fun!

 

The Fit is very good in the snow/ice in my opinion. Its pretty responsive even when you try to slide, which I do constantly. Having a bit wider tire on the Sport as I do might help a little in the ice but I haven't had any issues with it. The Fit is very fun to drive in the snow/ice and I love sliding it around corners. i don't even use the ebrake because its so easy to break the front wheels loose in this stuff.

 

Well, yesterday and this morning we had our 1st snow here in New York and this mornings ride to work was a little "squirly" for me in some areas.
But all in all everything seems to be normal.

 

You have to try the ebrake around a corner at least once!

 

Once the Fitcicle Thaws its great.

 

Wow!

How's the driving on that summer rubber?

 

Better then i though it would. I slid once on a back road ( just a little)but once i got a feel for it i had no problem (im from Western PA originally so this is normal for me) my only concern was everybody else's lack of experience.

 

glue a 2x4 to the back end of your fit and you'll have a fitsicle... haha i'm lame.

 

Yeah that's really stange to see all that green on the trees and all that ice.

 

This is what it's like driving around in Portland after that ice storm.

We want snow... here.. snow snow.. snow...

 

I'm suprised i haven't got stuck in some of the snow we've had. The clearance is alot taller than i figured it would be.

 

We have had several snow since November here in KC. The Fit is the first car I go to for driving in snow and ice. It has been rock stable and one of the best snow cars I have ever owned. Honda knows how to build cars that can handle the white stuff!!! The only issue that I have is switching to sport mode on the Auto and burning lots more gas!!!
