Have had our 2015 Honda Fit
Have had our 2015 Honda Fit LX 6-speed since Sept. 26. Ordered in Feb. after the intro. at the 2013 Detroit Auto show. Previous car was an '08 Honda Fit owned since new (sold July, 2014).
This was purchased to be my "project" car. What I found lacking in our previous generation, upgrades were planned and implemented. Sound-deadening, stereo upgrade, alloy wheels, rear upper tail-light upgrade (as in Japanese Hybrid version), etc....................
Over the month of Oct. the interior was stripped to make way for clean and neat installations, all done in my garage.
Have since put 2,000 miles on the odo. Initially, was able to register a surprising 46 mpg. on the hwy travelling at 60 mph. The upgrades added 200 lbs.+ and with normal driving, the combined city/hwy are hovering around 36 mpg. That's with the A/C on 30% of the time. Pleased to surpass the EPA rating of 32 mpg. combined.
The 6-speed makes this fun to drive. Am enjoying the no-brainer, light clutch and the close-ratio shifter. Although I find unnecessary, the wife is making full use of the hill-brake feature on steeper inclines. Hearing the VTEC operate at higher rpm's is joy to the ears. It does get buzzy at 80 mph but that's been solved with the sound-deadening. So has the majority of tire roar and wind noise. The steering is light, therefore great for city driving and parking. However, for carving up the twisties, it could do with a bit more "feel".
My tip to those shopping, understand what your buying and compare it to its competition and you'll know this is the best choice within the SUB-COMPACT segment. Paid full MSRP (w/ tax & license fees) but was able to eliminate all other nonsense dealer charges.
