A relative saw a 4WD Fit today.
It was in the parking lot where he was taking a tennis lesson.
He lives in Mayfield Village, Ohio.

I know somebody that saw a V8 Fit awhile ago, they knew it was a V8 because it had a V8 badge on both front fenders and then they got inside and took a ride and it sure sounded like a V8 as well.
V8 sound

I'm not saying there are not 4WD Fit's because I know there are here in Japan. Just believe somebody badged their Fit with a badge. Not very hard to do. Sure somebody could go right to PepBoys or wherever and pick up all kinds of crap.

in vancouver, there's this dude around driving a modified yellow dodge neon with ferrari badges on ALL 4 sides of the car. Not to mention they were on the center caps of the rims too. Did I mention it is a "ferrari" yellow?

Just as I thought an emblem.Most likely just a regular fit and not 4WD.

I saw a jdm fit at a junkyard that was awd.. it had a 4WD emblem on that back of it. I tried asking the guy for the awd system and what not but he wanted wayyyy too much for it.

I'd love to make my Fit awd. I'm sure the parts to do it aren't going to be cheap tho.

it would be easier and cheaper to just go buy an awd car.

research the gd4 chassis. that is the awd chassis. someone should get on their hands and knees to see if it is legitimate. stickers just dont count.

there is a guy up here with a dohc sticker on his car and everyone swears it is swapped but i talked with his wife and there is not special motor under the hood.

badges are deceiving.

It's easy to purchase badging and add it to any car ...

People actually believe that my car is a limited edition Hello Kitty version

Citroën addressed the 4wd problem by sticking a second engine in the rear of the 2CV Sahara:



With two engines, the Sahara must have had about 50 BHP available! I have seen one in full rally trim, like this:



And to think that some people think Fits are underpowered and funny looking!

Kyle, the badge isn't deceiving.. I looked at the car for like 30mins it's awd. The gas tank has a hump in the middle for the axle. It looked like a very weak driveterrain tho. I've though about sourcing the Crv awd system and seeing how that would fit

ive seen an AWD fit among two others in a local junk yard all from japan imported. buddy of mine got the jazz front bumper, and the whole interior. looks soo much better than the US fits. i went there and picked up the JDM OEM window visors. they were kinda dull but after some nice cleaning and a waxing they look good!
