Test drove a 08
I test drove a Red 08 Sport today & all I can say is Nicceee.....This was my first time on a Fit. The Fits 5 speed is one of the Best I driven. I had it for 50mins...and give it the Old..... One-Two. Red line comes on too fast on this motor, just when the power is coming-on strong..U hit the 6,500 Red line. A 7,200-7,500 RL would be sweet. The Fit Handling is very good for stock car, all I would need here is some 17s. I may have to skip on Red and the 5speed trans, I'll take the auto. Black or silver might be the color for me. Over all, this is a great little car. Now if I can only sell my 96 200sx SE-R, I'll then will have the down-payment for this Fine little car.

LOL, Well, lets just say first gear redlines too quickly..
Yeah you get a good bang for your buck with the Fit, it truely is a great little car. As far as the RL isuue i kinda agree, alittle higher redline would be nice, but not needed for me. It would just get me more tickets. Id rather have a good handling car then a fast car, and the Fit definetly handles!

Gary, I am also a former SE-R owner. I was freaking obsessed with those cars. I had a '91 Sentra SE-R and a '98 SE-R. The Fit is the closest car I've driven since them that I actually feel a personal connection with.
Test drove the manual and that was a whole different story
same here. i feel the power come in around 4000rpm-ish and then it's a freaking journey to redline. the first time i pushed my car i expected a kick around 5 or 6k but it never came, and it never will (sadface too) but i love this car for many other reasons
