I am a first time Fit owner 2013 sport. Traded my 2012 Titan to get it. Needed something great on gas and cheap monthly payments.
My concern and question is this; I am 6'3-6'4ish, and the driver seat isn't long enough for my legs or high enough and it does not slide back far enough or adjust up for more support. I knew of this problem before I bought the car, but going for test drives are always too short. So having the car for a few days and driving it around the city, my throttle leg gets pretty damn tired and actually makes my knee hurt and uncomfortable while driving.
What are some thoughts on getting a custom seat made? or can I take seat from a different model Honda? or get a custom upholstery place to make some sort of fitting? I don't know lol. any advise or help would be great.

thanks

 

A lot of the throttle pain is from the soft pedal.

Go here and try this. Worked for me.

Also, you can remove the bolts and insert 3 or 4 washers under the front seat mounts to recline the seat bottom a little. It's not a huge change, but does seem to help a little.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

 

Thanks. I will look into this!

 

yah, black3sr's recommendations on the gas pedal return spring and the washers to slightly tilt back the seat is a HUGE improvement.


i get absolutely no back pain from my '12 even driving 150+ miles non-stop.

 

I had a bit of pain when I first got in my 13 Fit, coming from a 13 Accord. It's been a month and have gotten used to the sitting position. Might have to try the washers on the front.
