Sorry about the link but I've tried some old sites where I already have other albums, guess this one reads my password cookie. Other new ones I have tried want to install an Active-X for uploads and my Shaw Secure blocks them.
I see some posters like Daniel have picture uploads directly in their posts, I don't have that priviledge.

OK,


Here are Will's pics of him in his fit.
Here is the text from b4 when I put a link to my pics.



This is for all you tall guys out there if you were wondering if they would
fit in a Fit.
I'm 6' 2" - 245 and all legs. As you can see in the first pic the LX looks small behind me, but the 2nd. shows how big and roomy it is. When I first
sat in one the seat back was not tilted back and I felt cramped. But when
the salesman adjusted it and I went for a spin, I found my long arms almost straight out, reaching for the wheel.

I purchased the car from Harvest Honda in Steinbach, MB. See Randy Peters, a #5 salesman.

Notice the snow still around. Not going to hamper this driver one bit. LOL

Hey, all you big dudes out there. Just took my Father in-law out in the Fit, he's 6"2 and 235 He sat in the back with NO issue, and the same for when he sat in the front.

Lack of fuel door lock is stupid as hell... a serious oversight (or is it cost saving?) by Honda... When, not if, gas prices reach $4.00 -- $5.00 a gallon, unscrupulous individuals will be out and about syphoning people's gas. Having a locking gas cap is an inconvenience... anyone who's been in the freezing northeast winters knows that sucks enough having to fidget with a wallet and credit card and then waiting for the card to go through before you pump the gas. Having to sift through keys (and I would imagine it's a smaller key) to unlock a gas cap will be a pain. Also, you have to lock too when you're done.

Awesome picture and reference guideline of a larger framed male. For those of us over 6ft and 200lbs+, this is a godsend.

Myself being 6'2" 240lbs it seems as if wearing my goosedown parka and toque will be fine in the winter while driving. Makes me want to buy one right away, drive to the corner store with my hockey bag in the trunk just to get a 24 case of beer just to showoff.

You literally sort of seem dwarfed in the drivers seat actually for your size..,which is a good thing!

On a side note...,this car can aid voluptous women in Personal Ad pictures.

I AM CANADIAN!!!

Really, Fit's fit to anyone.... Little bit different between Canada and other countries model.. But the fuel gauge is more simple and atractive... i like that...

When I drive my Fit, I can't really see part of the fuel gauge or part of the tach, must be due to the high seat postioin. I'm 5"10', not overly tall

After a couple of days driving I noticed yes. that the lumbar support which I never even felt b4 was suddenly rubbing into my back. Never felt it b4 this. What the heck changed. Then it dawned on me. When I was showing my sister and husband how all the seats collapsed, etc. I had moved the driver's seat back to a diff. upright position.

What I did then is lean farthur back until my shoulder's pressed against the top of the seat back, uncomfortable feeling went away. Changes the curve of your back, I was too upright.

Daniel; try adjusting the seat back to lower/raise your eye level to the gauges. I had the same problem when I first got the car.

Got up this moring and enjoyed a coffee and breakfast. Went out side in the crisp cool moring air. Saw my new Fit in the driveway with the sun gleeming off the hood and the new paint. There was a touch of frost across the roof where the morning sun had not burned it off as of yet.

Got my keys out and unlocked the door and got in. Slipped my seat belt on and put the key in the ignition. Started the engine. That sweet sound of a little Honda fireing up, so smooth so quite. Let it run........


ROFL, does that bother you? heheehheh
