Default Am I the only one???

Not trying to start a war of the worlds here.

But am I the only person here who thinks the only good looking Fit is the Sport edition, with the color keyed headlights, and the alloy wheels??

The base models just look too "Aveo"ish and econoboxy.

I do like the Sport edition though because of the paddle shifters, the tunability of the motor above and beyond what my d17a2 will ever be, and just the overall look to the Sport.


<U>EDIT</U>: BTW, 900 posts and still goin' strong bisshes!!!!

i agree with you. for the minimal price difference, i dont understand the reason to choose the base. the sport is going to have a higher resale .

I just think the Base leaves something to be desired. Like a turbo, or a less of a "econobox" look to it.

Maybe that's how Honda wanted it, a $13,000 point A point B car. If so, they succeeded.

At least now I know that my car isnt the Honda bastard child any more. The Fit gets that title.

All of the base models I see have color keyed headlights.

Myself, I don't like the current trend of "high beltline" car designs, on the Fit, this "slab sided" effect is even furthur worsened with the lower valences of the Sport package.

The base model with the splash guards is pretty much as good as it's gonna get for me, it still looks light and nimble. The sports just look bulky and tall.

i agree with gvr4kid i think the sport one looks to bulky and more like a van i got the regular base with intake and exhaust waiting for some headers

I felt the same about the Sport. Opted for the Base for that very reason. With a few mods... looks real clean.
