US Fit vs. Other Fit/Jazz
#42
So called panaroma roof looks realy fancy and gives extra joy in driving and light up cabin but it takes a little head space for the rear passengers.
You can check the panorama roof here (360º view)
Honda Jazz, Ac-Mobil d.o.o.

Just glad I got that motor, as well as the bigger bumpers (for safety).

About to purchase a new Fit here in Japan and I didn't even realize the difference up front was so drastic. I just left Guam and sold my S2000 (WHY?!?!) and had always wanted a Fit for a daily driver and looked at the new GE while there and liked how it looked, though the front end did seem a bit extended, couldn't put my finger on it.
Was at the Honda dealer yesterday and placed my order for a Honda RS 5MT in Premium White Pearl. Damn the US $ and its place in the value of world currencies. The Fit is going to end up costing me about $21750 out the door after conversion. Totemo takai desu!!! When I purchased my brand new 5R Integra back in 2003, it only cost me $24800 thanks to the exchange rate.
I know the car is going to feel lethargic compared to my S2000 and before that when living in Japan my old DC5R Integra (which I am looking at a decent used one possibly also). Though previously driving an older GD model with just the 1.3 here in Japan, it felt zippy and just an overall fun to drive feeling even though it wasn't going to light a fire under your ass. It did put a little smile on my face taking it through some winding road action.
Anyways, after seeing the comparison picture, I have to say I much prefer the JDM model. If/when I leave Japan and come back stateside, I think I will just take the front clip with me to put on a US model. And whatever little goodies I acquire for it.

No they are not. Back-read and you'll see that I already posted the headlights and hood are enlarged because of the bumper bar being extended for US GE8s
#55
But I don't think Honda (at least from a manufacturer's point of view) will invest in 2 different headlamp molds for some very small changes (in terms of car length) - it would be expensive and inefficient. Looking at the pictures, I'd say they're the same size (and probably even mounting/screw points). It's the USDM hood, fender and bumper that really changes the dimensions as compared to JDM. That's how I see it at least

They will be different part numbers regardless, the JDM headlights have the beam cut-off reversed for RHD. Measurements would be needed.

I like the JDM version too, which luckily, the Thai honda jazz has the same bumper. Sadly most people here use automatic transmission, so car manufacturers here decided to cut down features from the manual transmission model to make it the cheapest, with the least features. This makes the MT model lacks features from the above model, such as the turn signal side mirror and the automated folding side mirror. It also lacks airbags. Wish there were side airbags in the Thai jazz as well. Would be nice if we were able to have MT with airbags.
