The VSC does turn off...but it has been proven to help prevent accidents. And remember, even the best drivers/tires have accidents. VSC just gives you better odds. Although, I don't think safety should be a luxury.
To add to the dislikes:
*lack of adjustable seat height
*fragile fog lights
*fidgity on the freeway (is it just me? do I need a better alignment?)
*pretty rough riding for a stock car (koni, are you hearing me??? better digressive dampening please!)

The stiff suspension are a good thing I think. Maybe not as well developped (compromise handling/comfort) as a 30k$ german car, but it's a 15k$ japanese car...
On the highway mine is stable, just too noisy by the lack of a sixth gear (and some more sound deadening).

I wonder if the feeling of twitchiness on the freeway is a matter of the vehicles to which you are accustomed, and how you tend to track when driving. The quick steering on our cars dislikes the to and fro movements needed on slower steering cars. I find that holding the wheel almost motionless, with nearly imperceptible corrections keeps it moving smoothly. It's not the wider corrections needed for a larger sedan with a longer wheelbase.
Number one peeve on the Fit is the horrendously thin paint job. I swear a bug hitting it at 85mph will scratch the paint, lol. Maybe Honda should've added another coat of paint and clear, my 14 year old M3 paint job looks and holds up MUCH better than my 2 year old Fit

When you park the car with the lights on, not only don't the lights turn off when you turn off the car, but also the car does not warn you the lights are on until you open a door.
I have to pick my kids up at sports practice just as it gets dark, so I drive there with the lights on, but don't want to sit there in idle, so I turn the car off, but several times I have sat there running down the battery with the headlights on.

Car drove well on your trip?

After my warranty expires, I'm going to look into wiring the light circuit through the ignition. I have never had the need to have my lights on, and the ignition off. However, I do carry cables.. and have used them.
The issue with the steering is that the wheels don't turn enough (maximum angle, lock to lock), it's a pain in the ass to manoeuver where it's tight or for parallel parking compared to the yaris hatchback.
Fit's okay, but you're dead on with the Yaris - spins on a dime.
