The paddle shifters then allows the man to drive this car with higher level of enjoyment than vanilla auto trannies.
hmm...surely you speak of CANADIAN women drivers...

Thumbs up A new like

Now that I've seen a Jazz in Nassau and the NA Fit in Detroit I have to agree:
The bigger bumpers actually help it look less van/MPV like and more like the rest of the NA Honda car line!

Means the thread stays at the top of the forum; regardless if it gets posted to or not.

Dislike: Options I want (cruise, remote entry for example) are only available on the sport - I like or could live with the rest.

It doesn't anywhere else in the world but the US is getting safety features none of the rest of the world has as well as quite alot of other features that everyone in the rest of the world don't have but US is just turning their noses up at.

Just like an outsider - judge the rest of us based on a noisey few...
I suppose those Kangaroo sex stories we heard are all true too

We just eat our coat of arms. Nothing like a some roo with a bit of emu.

Congrats on ordering a Fit sport. You won't be dissappointed. Anything it doesn't come with that you want you can just mod. That way we'll all get some great aftermarket goodies - demand creates its own supply.

Somewhere in one of these threads, someone mentioned they hadn't seen any Fits with door guards, and that would be critical for American parking lots. Being an American, I think I can say without too much argument that a large portion of Americans don't care what is out there when they swing the door open on their typically huge SUV (Could that be considered part of the "American Driving Style?"). Yesterday, I saw a white Jazz in Bangkok that had very nice body colored door guards. I will start carrying my camera, and see if I can get a photo of one. Shouldn't take long; you can't swing a dead cat around over here without hitting one. Someone just needs to clue me in on how to post a picture.

Body-colored side moldings will be available as an accessory.

Likes: comes with a manual tranny, it's a 4 door hatch, cool rear seats, it looks great, it's a honda(relyable)

dislikes: no cruse option on base model, looks like it will be a *major* PITA to change the stereo and it's a honda(still prefer the 'feel' of a european car)


Oh forgot to add, to the person who wants keyless entry on the base model... it seems you'll be able to add that... I did on my Element, it was decently priced and took me all of 5min to install.

Claymore, I guess I just never noticed. Now I see them on every one. If that is your Jazz by your name, I think I saw you on the first stage expressway a while back between Ploenchit and Rama IV - VERY NICE!

I really like the body colored headlight surrounds.

Likes:
1. great gas mileage
2. I like the interior a lot (dash layout)
3. I like how the seats can be configured.
4. cheap cheap for a brand new honda
5. I like audio line in. (does that come standard on the base? or just the sports upgraded sound system?)
6. It's a 4 door



Dislikes:
1. I am definately not 100% sold on the outside looks. I'm betting that will change one way or the other when I see it in person.
2. No Sun/Moon roof (this one kinda falls under both categories because I like them. but don't like the weight thats included)
3. It's a 4 door
