What don't you like about your Fit?
#61
1) the mpg should equal or exceed 40 mpg
2) the gas tank is in the way of the left foot. The space saviing benifits exceeds this problem for me
3)arm rest.
4)Cruise option for the base fit not available.
5) shifting alot for the manual modle. It seems that compaired to the honda civic sedan 1500 cc I owned for 13 years that there is a big difference in shifting . That car did 40 mpg on hywy driving.
I am happy with the car. I like the space and the magic seats. It gets alot of attention

OK lets add one more to make it the big 5
To my previous 4 add
5. A/C not up to snuff. Just warming up to summer in florida and it takes a good 15 mins on fan speed 4, with recirc button on before it gets tolerable. And yes I did open the windows for a while first.
I love the rest of the car !

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Look at the upper, right-hand corner of the

• If the vehicle does not have this sticker, go to

3. Cut off the tip of the 3M Black Super Silicone

file the outside diameter of the applicator tip so that
it barely fits into the gap between the molding and
the roof.
4. Using a plastic card (credit card or something
similar), pull up the outer edge (lip) of the molding
at the middle of the windshield. Working toward the
side of the windshield, fill the entire channel under
the molding with the sealant.
5. Move to the other side of the vehicle, and then
repeat step 3.
6. Lightly push down on the molding to smooth it out
and form an even seal.
7. Wait for 5 minutes, and then remove the masking
tape.
8. Using a shop towel and 3M General Purpose

Headlights on my Fit Sport don't shine out far enough, the light has a very sharp cutoff approx 75 feet ahead of the car. Not really a big deal on lighted roads but VERY noticeable on lonely dark roads...hope I have fast reflexes if a deer should jump out in fromt of me when I'm doing 60 MPH.
The brights however seem to work very good and are aimed perfectly.

I would really like it if the head lights would shut off when the ignition switch was off. Do you hear me Honda it would be nice to have the option of having the head lights on durring day time driving. Some times it is just what you need for a person to see you traveling so they can yield your right of way. Wireing the headlights to be switched to the ignition would prevent a burned out battery.

1. Gas tank position limits where I can rest my left foot
2. Wold have liked the steering wheel maybe an inch closer to the driver's seat
3. Power outlet turns off when I turn the car off, so I can't leave my phone or MP3 player plugged on to charge overnight or while at work (both my Neon and my mom's PT Cruiser left it on all the time)
4. Doors don't automatically unlock when you pull the handle to open them from inside, you have to manually unlock them first
