What you DONT like about your Fit
Haha, actually... Just to clarify... The classes I have this semester are far apart from each other on some days and on other days I have to be at school 6 hours early to avoid traffic and to guarantee myself a parking spot. So I put the seats down and lay out a foam bed I made for the entire cargo area to take my naps before and in between classes. And it's not too inconvenient to climb in and out of the doors, but a lot of times the students at my school squeeze their SUVs into the compact parking spots and the only way to get in and out would be through the hatch or through a window. So I was wondering if I needed to "fit" my fit into a tight spot at school, if I could just crawl out the hatch if need be. I have a 2012 Sport MT, and it would be really cool if I could get that to work out, but I don't even know where to start with rigging something, if it's at all possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you are. He can unlock but still need to release the catch to open.

I just picked 2012 manual sport. Last night. He dash comes right up to right knee (left hand drive) unless I have the seat slid all the way back. In a head on collision, I'll probably shatter my knee if not my femur. the seats are a pathetically passed off as "bucket seats." I prefer the seats I have in my eg hatch that I pulled from a 91 prelude si. I'm considering sourcing some crz seats for my Fit (not sure if they'll fit or not). As far as performance, I can't really comment as I'm still breaking her in. 112 miles on the od so far!

You could always do Clazzio seat covers. They make the seats much more comfy and give the interior a great new look. Welcome to FF!

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this issue, but's driving me nuts!
When you have any of the 4 windows cracked, or rolled down part way, they sometimes rattle. VERY annoying! No rattles with the window completely down, or completely up. Anywhere in between... rattles. This sucks, because I like cracking the window a bit to have some fresh air in the car, other than having the fan on all the time.

I agree that would be annoying if I had that rattle. Hopefully others here can shed light on why yours would be doing that and how to fix it.

Move North then it is only a problem in the summer.
I find they only rattle is certain positions. Try raising a bit or lowering.
Stop smoking!!! I quit about 6 years ago and bought a Fit instead.

Who says I smoke? Never have, never will.
I just like fresh air. I also rarely use my a/c, as I'd much prefer having all my windows down instead.
Move North? I don't want to live in the Yukon! I'm North enough already lol
Glad I'm not the only one with this issue... anyone tried complaining to the dealer about this? I think I will when I take my Fit in for it's first service.

I got the Fit in December, and it hasn't been warm enough here yet to drive with the windows down much. But have driven with them partway down a few times and noticed nothing.
So far, there is nothing I don't like about my Fit. Thanks to my fellow FF'ers I knew just what to expect, and that is what I got!
