Did the integra, rsx and civics ever have those available for upgrade made specifically for those cars because I would definitely get a fit over the new 2.5 vw rabbit.

why do you want traction control on a car w/a 100hp?

There's this stuff called "snow" that many people find traction control helpful with.

right foot = traction control

does the fit even have enough power to spin tires in snow?? i dunno, we dont get that stuff here, if anything the road gets covered in a inch thick sheet of ice.

^^^ agreed, it's all about control. Unless you're a ham-footed motard it's not needed in the Fit. I had it in my old xB and the only time I ever noticed it do anything was when I purposely tried to spin the wheels in slush, etc. Otherwise, if I turned it off I'd never know it was gone 'cause I know how to drive in snow.

I have it in my Odyssey van and never noticed a benefit. If you want traction control get snow tires, start off in 2nd gear, or both. If you're on ice then just pray.

I'd like to see a turbocharged Fit with AWD. Now that would be cool.
