Question Driving Style?

Did I read somewhere that my 2010 Fit is monitoring my driving style? What type of data is being recorded other than MPG?

it also records your social security number and links it to the internet for everyone to see. i forgot to mention that if you go above 75mph it will notify your local highway patrol office via gps triangulation and HDPS wireless network and you will be sent an automated speeding fine.

























































































J/k. the fit will adapt to your driving style and will record all logs of everything. throttle input, braking, anything computerized and electrical it will log into your fit's blackbox.

Wink Driving Style?

I think I would have to have a death wish to go above 75mph in a Fit. The rest is well seasoned BS, no?

This from the Book of The Dead, better known as The Honda Fit Owners Manual:

Based on the engine operating
conditions and accumulated engine
revolutions, the onboard computer in
your vehicle calculates the remaining
engine oil life and displays it as a
percentage.


What engine operating conditions it is supposedly monitoring or how it knows or evaluates those conditions?

The maintenance minder moves in mysterious ways.....

Why do you think this? The Fit is very stable at elevated speeds, at the artificial speed limit of 180km/h (111.6mph) besides it cutting fuel, it was super smooth and I did not have any concerns about the car itself and still had more to go if not for the limiter.

80 mph? I'll almost always hit that at some point when I take the highway. I don't constantly go 80 since the speed limit is only 55, so, I'm more likely 65-70. Typically hit 80 when I'm passing someone I think I need to get by.

There have been a couple of occasions where I felt the car pull to one side or another. But, I've felt the same thing when I used to drive a 97 Mitsubishi Mirage, before my brother replaced the tires with some a little bigger. None of the pulls feel even strong like when any car passes an 18 wheel semi, so I'm not worried. But I do intend to keep an eye on it, to be sure I don't need to be worried.

I'd love to see if I could reach 110+ mph (I absentmindedly hit 106 in a Corvette once, too smooth to notice I had gained speed)... but I rather avoid the risk of any major speeding tickets.

My Fit was monitoring my driving style, but I drive so slowly, it got bored, and the computer fell asleep.

I dont understand any of the comments that say the fit is unstable at speed, i have taken my car up to 114-116mph a couple of times, and it is very stable. then, on the highway, i will pass some idiot at around 80-90 if i really need to get around them, never felt anything to worry me...then again, i have never taken any other car up to those speeds before, so i cannot compare the fit against anything, is that why some of you say the fit is unstable, are you comparing it to something else?

I feel my car jerk to the left or right based on wind, or big cars driving by on the highways. Never felt it in my 350z so I'm guessing it has to do with the profile of the vehicle and the tire width / suspension.
