I heard this but it doesn't really affect me. At 33 years old next month, I've owned 7 different cars. The only one where I needed a spare tire was in my first, a 1967 VW Bug that didn't have reverse. That car was tore up when I got it and was in need of new tires about 10,000 miles before the front passenger blew out going 75 on the highway. Being in high school, I could barely afford gas, let alone new tires.
My point is, a spare tire is really only important on the day you need it. 7 cars in 17 years and only using one spare tire makes it less necessary for me (having AAA helps too). Not saying it's not important to some, it's just incredibly low on my list of important factors.
Just curious as you say it's incredibly important to you. How many spares have you had to go through? Especially on a new car? My last few cars have been new and usually get traded in before needing new tires anyway. I could very well be in the lucky minority, but I'd think Honda felt the same as me in their decision.

It may be a moot point, though, if Honda keeps a spare in the US version of the '09.

Now...the question is....after reading up on the Fit...seems like Honda decided to make a 2nd gen already! after what? 1year? Usually newer is better right? 09 >08?
i like the current Fit model...i saw the 09...its a bit more...round...and im not too thrill about the non-color matching headlights...
help?
Honda Redesigns every 4 years and it's been out for about 4 years I believe. It just came here last.

I'm just trying to find reason behind getting an Automatic over Manual.
You don't need to question my motives. I'm on this forum like everyone else to enjoy the splendor that is the Honda Fit.
My comment surely was in jest, but my passion for cars is very serious.
oh, and you still didnt answer my question...

The current Fit has been out in Japan since 2001. That's quite a bit longer than 4 years.
Well, I didn't know that but I'm just saying. I know the Civic is redesigned every 4 years... But I guess its just Honda America that releases new designs every 4 years....
Dunno, just what I've heard
