very good. and also the brakes. been tested to stop under 120 feet. that's sportcar good.

i have 17inch gramlights and took a freeway offramp at 40 mph without sweating it.

I test drove a Pontiac Wave before test driving the Fit. Talk about different.

I'm really impressed by the braking, handling and quick steering response. Makes my GS-R steering feel slow.

Transmission is a dream too.

I agree, it's really surprisingly good -- solid, precise, and pretty predicatable. I can do one off ramp here at over 50 on the stock tires without even starting to feel grip being lost or that I'm severly pushing the car. My old xB could only do it at about 40 or so, and that car was pretty nimble all things considered.
