I wish the front seats were lower. I always feel like I am higher than I'd like to be.

i guess the one thing i would wish was if the front fender came out just a hair more so that i can run the same offset wheels front and rear without making the front look like it's got poke and rear sunken in. especially while running like 16x7 with ET40 which are popular aftermarket size.

otherwise, it's hard to find something i dont like about my '12.

In the old days I would alter how high I was by taking more or less tokes... I don't do that anymore and I never feel as high as I'd like to be.

The rear fender has a nice flare actually gives the Fit a nice flow. Agree on the front a little more flare. But not a complaint if I find the right wheels I will have to figure what route to go on the front. Roll and pull or find out what a body shop can do to make it look good.

yah, it's the rear-side view that bugs me the most. my car with the current swifts and -1.5 camber front looks great from the front, front-side, and side.

but it could be more of a personal preference cause my buddies say the fitmet looks nice and agressive the way it is...

At this point, there's very little/nothing that I do like about my Fit.

That's why I've been back and forth between trying to trade it in/sell it and putting up with it because I can't afford anything better.

Horribly uncomfortable.
Exudes cheapness.
Lackluster MPG (when considering the complete lack of performance)
Ugly
Lacks steering feel

A much easier list is what do I like about it:
-Back doors make it easy to put groceries/people in the back seats.
-It has a trunk.
-Its small.

what's interesting is that i find the ge8 to be perfectly appropriate in quality. sure it's not an upmarket vehicle but the fit and finish is fine and i don't really have any issues with panel gaps or rattles.

however. my girlfriend's fiesta has more features and similar fuel economy for about the same cost. the fit has better performance and feel though.

Ideally: RSX-S/FA5 Civic Si

I'd settle for IS300, FG2, EP3, WRX, and some others.

I would like a WRX I was looking at the 2006/07 hawkeye. Still a hefty price. Good luck in your search.

I'm partial to the Bug-eye 02/03 front, just not sure I want to drop down to 25 MPG in a car I'd like to keep for the next 5-10 years.

Miss my WRX. It was Sonic Yellow too like the one posted. Great color for a great car, not like the weird pastey yellow they made after '03. I saw the new model in that new orange color, looks great. Oh yeah, about what i hate,...hmm, well:

I have always hated how getting floor mats wasn't standard, even on the Sport model!

Lack of options in US-- want to drool- go to a Honda UK website and build yourself a Jazz- crazy what is available!
