I have been reading this area and was woundering on the people that do own a Fit How do you like them? do you like how they drive? feel on the road sound? anything you dont like?

Im looking into ordering a fit sport

 

I couldn't have found a better car to own in my opion, sure i wish it had more power, but i can sacrifice power for outstanding fuel milage for now, i love getting into and driving it every time i do.

 

ya i drive around a stock 90 hatch si so power really isnt a issue. Just seeing if there is anything you dont like about them. As soon as my local dealership gets one in im test driving it to make sure i like it and ill be ordering one in

 

As for power, it depends on where you come from. The Fit is nice, good gas mileage, but is very underpowered. But, you get what you pay for. As for comfort, and extras, the Fit is very well worth its price. I do want to drop a K series into mine, but that is going to be after the warrenty is up. I do wish there was a bit more top end, the car is strongest in mid area, but not a real slouch. I got a Fit Sport, but I came from a CRX with a B16A1. So, I knotice a power difference, but I also knotice allot of other things, like stock rear squat, and super soft clutch, which are on my list of upgrades first, after tint of course.

I actually thought the Fit was more comfortable than the Civic. I was looking at a Civic LX, but once I sat in a Fit, I was sold. Very comfortable, and good possibilities.

 

nice like to hear that

on the clutch how do you fix that? and how low can you drop a FIT?

If you go for a 10 minute test drive you'll answer your own questions. The impression you gain there pretty much sums up the car. It's nothing spectacular but you get a lot for your money (meaning good gas mileage and utility but no power).

I wouldn't drop it. My front air dam is already scraped up just from turning into everyday driveways.

 

i love mine, it get up and goes pretty good, it is no speed demond but it merges into traffic great

 

It is called upgrading the clutch. I wouldn't ask too many questions like these, as people here tend to get upset with people new to cars in general. Do allot of reading before you start asking on simple things like wanting to know what to do for a soft clutch.

Also, the answer to that is buying a newer, more race clutch, and installing it into the car.

 

whats the main differences between the base and the sport? im looking to buy one right now as a first car. just wanna know if my parents should dish out an extra couple thousand for the sport.

IMHO the sport is a better overall value, you get the security system, the alloy wheels, the foglights, the better looks, the option for paddles if you go automatic.. I really enjoy my fit and aside from not having a locking gas cap stock I feel they pretty much thought of everything that you do need and threw in a few things that make it a nice car to own and drive.

 

where do u guys go for body kits for this car? havnt found much aftermarket parts on this car. right now, i dont know why but i think the MF7's would look really nice on a NBP with a drop. who makes lowering springs for the fit? cambers? struts? bolt ons?

gaaah so many questions...

fill me in

tenks

 

The Fit Sport's paddle shifter are the best I have EVER driven.
I used to have an RX8. Its paddles suck compared to the fit.

Well of course after tint, DUH! Thats like 200hp to the wheels meng!

 

Why would you want to replace the clutch? It works perfectly fine and has a good feel. A light clutch is better for traffic driving.

Also I personally dont feel the Fit is underpowered. I think it is just adequate. More is always better, but I rarely find myself driving it thinking its "not enough".
