Test Driving The 2009 Fit?




Being new to this forum, I apologize if this question has already been asked, but has anyone had an opportunity to test drive a manual in the 2009 Fit?

If so, is it as zippy and as responsive as the 2008?

I'll hopefully let you know in about a week But the reviews say yes to both of your questions, albeit a bit more comfortable and not as harsh (harsh by comparison to a Yaris, anyway).

RDS, can you please find out if the 2009 Fits come with a cargo cover, remote trunk release, heated mirrors and seat height adjustments? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the forum will require a complete review of the car if he wants to live.

I envy you so much. If you can, please find out info on the spare tire situation, what month they will be available, and color options. Thank you so much for whatever info you can give us! And if you are in southern OH, and need someone from the Northern KY area to help you evaluate said test drive, look no further!

Follow this link,2009 USDM Honda Fit Interior
and at :50 seconds there is a shot of the rear view mirror and right above it, between the visors it looks like there is a small console with two lights.

I just found another picture of the usdm red fit and it does have maplights. I was going to post the pic but it seems a bit complicated for right now.
I'll do it this way. http://picasaweb.google.com/home

It's only stealing if you have no intention of returning it.

No need to steal it. These (two) are SEMA vehicles. Anybody who knows me knows I have the most rotten luck ever and I want to make sure they're done well ahead of time.
