+ having the driver side cupholder near the vent is a plus for the 2015

-losing the second (upper glove box)

I also will miss the second (upper glove box). Our 2009 CR-V has it and it is very useful. You can never have enough storage space.

-the grill, headlights and tail lights just ain't a Fit

+ I like the new style

- the build quality feels cheap. The doors don't close as easily and when closing the hatch, it sort of bounced giving a cheap/sound feel to it.

Build quality can only be determined over time. As for the feel the car has more plastic to reduce weight and improve fuel economy. So yes it does sound different.

-I don't like a digital fuel gauge

We have the digital fuel gauge on our 2009 CR-V and have got used to it fairly easily.

I have to disagree here as I feel the improvements in the '15 far outway the few setbacks from the previous model.

+ More powerful and fuel efficient engine
+ Lane change camera
+ Backup camera
+ 7" center console display
+ Bluetooth hands free phone

That was one of the ones I didn't get around to test driving. I had a Ford a long time ago and had no problems with, but then my friend had a Focus and it was always in the shop. So, I just decided not to include a Ford in my search. My Fit is a substantial upgrade from my 2002 Grand Am, so I'm more than happy with it!
