2009 Fit
#1302
do you guys think the 2009 fit will handle better than the old one? i watched the bestmotoring episode that talked about the new fit and seems that the guys there like the old one more.....the old one is also faster on the track as well..

I have driven both in "Stock Form" and I can tell you that the new (GE8)RS has a much softer suspension over the previous years GD3... But the that is something that can be chaged with a little bit of sus~work ...One good point about the RS is that steering response is much better compared to the 1st gen Fit..... It`s kind of a give and take type of trade off...

Seat Fabric
I LOVE that kind of seat fabric. It has a neoprene type feel to it--like a wetsuit. It seems like it would be cooler than standard fabric.
Though, I have only sat in a Pontiac Vibe that has that fabric (i liked those seats) and even the 2008 Chevy Cobalt uses a similar fabric, so it can't be expensive!

That looks like a Noblesse Fit. Gorgeous.
Unlike some on here, I do like much of what the '09 Fit will offer, sleeker styling, but more particularly the interior upgrades, but I decided to go ahead and purchase the '08. I love it as well and am absolutely thrilled with it so far.
Re: those seats from the Honda Singapore forum, I haven't seen anything that references that the US version will get those. But they are hot!
