Real men use whatever the hell they want.

Mine is a stick.

 

With tongue planted firmly in cheek...

Real men don't use their car, or any feature therein, to determine their manliness. It's a character trait that's not measured by the stuff we own.

And yes, I have an automatic.. oh the shame!

I do, however, have a motorcycle. That should make up for the A/T right?

 

Caption on one of the pictures on that page:

"Coming back from our zero to 60 mph testing, we could only laugh at our dismal times."


What the **** do they expect? It's a 109hp economy car, they're expecting what exactly?

 

We should probably let this thread just die. It really isn't worth getting our blood pressure up, considering the source.

BUT! I loved the Ladies' Home Journal comment! That's really what this review is like.
I, for instance, know nothing about horses, but quite a bit about cameras and lenses. Maybe I should write a review of a new equestrian facility, for publication in a photography magazine. I'm sure my non-horsey, non-insights would be pretty apparent to those who have a clue. To the other non-equestrian photographers reading my drivel, it would appear to make sense. Wrong place, wrong writer.

 

Funny thing is.... I actually first learned about the Fit thru a CNET review on the 07 model via my TIVO. CNET has weekly TIVO downloadable tech show, and they review a car usually each week. Well, in 07 they actually gave it a decent review, but did dis it on Tech items, which of course, it lacked since it was a bottom dollar budget machine. They did note that at the time. Well after seeing the lil thang on my TIVO, I had to test drive, then had to buy, then had to wait 3 months for the manual BOM to show up. I do love the 'clown car' as my wife calls it.
