Single Best Thing About How Your Fit Looks
What's the single best thing about how your Fit looks? Is it the shape of the headlights? The stock wheels or the new ones you added? The color you picked that turned out to be just right? The car's stance or silhouette? The spoiler on your Sport? Think about the one thing that often catches your eye as you approach your Fit for a drive, and let us know what it is. Feel free to illustrate your choice by posting a photo.
For me, it's the shape of the windows as seen from the side, the general upward flow from front to rear terminating in the fixed rear quarter window. There's something about the sweep of the glass that works from a design standpoint. (Lots of other cars get it wrong -- the Nissan Versa being a prime example, with the weird back-leaning rear quarter windows producing a triangle that works against the flow of the other lines.) I think the Fit is a very handsome car whose good looks, combined with utility and efficiency, make for a superb package.
What's your opinion?

Gonna have to go with just the overall complete package the fit is. Everything you mentioned is what gives you that feeling that you either want to spend your day cleaning it or driving it. From the walking to it and noticing the stance of it dropped on the floor with the front wheels turned ever so slightly to the side, the aero dynamics of the car and how you see and feel that touch of civic and most of all HONDA, aas kenchan said the factory bodykit gives it aggression and style, to turning it on and pepping around ....everything plays a factor in what gives you your feelings for the fit at least it does for me i couldnt of chose a better, more beneficial, sexier car for the price comfort style and basically feeling....Damn i need sleep.

It keeps people I know from recognizing me while driving a half-assed minivan around town.

i'm going to say the color. i had every intention of getting a VBP but as soon as i saw my MR in person i knew it was going to be mine.
it's probably also the fact that because it's red, people are constantly cutting me off and trying to race me. i like that it looks fast
somewhat annoying though when i just want to enjoy driving home.

I like that it's a bit of a sleeper. Understated, if you will. I have a SSM Fit LX (trim level between Base and Sport sold in Canada, no body kit). To the uninitiated, it looks like just another soulless, boring econobox. But it is actually fun to drive with its excellent handling, the fit and finish is far ahead of its competitors, and all the controls feel high quality.
I'm not really one for the "look at me" styling of the tuner crowd (though I understand the appeal). I like that people look at it and dismiss it as Yet Another Econobox (especially thieves and police
). It's like being part of a secret club that few others know about.
BTW, the thread title is misleading. I think that's why some of the responses are about mileage, practicality and handling, all valid answers to the thread title.
