What you DONT like about your Fit

Driver legroom
I’m a tall guy 6’5 in a not super big car. The dash design of my GE puts the dash almost directly into my right knee if I sit wrong which scares me if I get into an accident. But other than that I love the car and as long as I don’t sit lazy like leaned back in my seat it’s not too big of an issue

My 2016 Fit has two spots on the fenders that are rusting through. I've always taken care of it. Washed and waxed.
The metal is about as thin as a soda can on the fenders where it has rusted. I can't believe it. I put converter paint on the rust spot with a Q-tip and the metal edge is so thin it grabs at the cotton and pulls off strands. Imagine running a Q-tip on the edge of a torn pop can. That's how thin it is.
I am very disappointed in this vehicle.

Thinner gauge metal is just another (best) way of reducing weight.
It's the same principle used on supercars like Lamborghini, Ferrari etc.

Yeah really weird decision and annoying. There's the wheel well there already so they could've just put a little plastic panel to make it more comfortable and stable. Same for the central arm rest, though that can be solved on ebay.

You know those orphaned black socks that show up in the laundry? Slip one over your arm rest to prevent the fabric from wearing through.

I had no idea, which Civic? There are some options on ebay. Too bad my 3d printer is pretty small or that would be a completely trivial thing to print.

Yeah I've noticed some of that too.. more so when I drive my wife's 15 Pilot, but a little from my 19 Fit. I did get some longer front bolts for the driver's seat and put some skateboard wheels under the brackets to tilt it up/back some, and that seemed to help quite a bit.

I also have a Subaru WRX and I think every cop I pass looks like he's looking for a reason to pull me over. I have long hair so I am used to being "profiled" and the WRX adds a whole new level on top of that. But with the Fit I am totally invisible.

I consider that to be a plus. I have a silver Fit and it is totally anonymous on the roads. If I was a bank robber it would be the perfect getaway car because no one even notices it.

Seems like grey / silver Honda Fits are the primary vehicle of choice for active shooters too. hm..............

LOL I had to look closely to be sure that wasn't MY Fit! But I didn't see the Sport spoiler and foglights so I think I am safe.
