Love it so far, very roomy interior was one of the major reasons in getting the Fit, as well as the milage. Speaking of which, in the begining it will have lower than specified, but let the car break in first and then make a judgement. In my first 4000 miles I've been getting an average of 28mpg (Sport AT), but that's because I have a lead foot Also waiting on some parts to put in the Fit that will make it handle even better than it already does in stock trim. Very confortable to sit in, but I have yet to take a really long trip in the Fit, been very busy with work (I do weddings). Which brings me to the AC in the Fit. It's great! Cools fast enough, and it can get really cold too. On a hot summer day, when you come to a stop, or are in a slow traffic, switch to the recycle mode so the AC doesn't lose its effectiveness and you keep cool.

If you check this other thread you'll find an addition that I've made to my Fit, that should add even more storage space in the Fit: modified JDM center roof storage console

love it!!
-it's looks good and very relaxing to drive.
-love the dash and deck at night, way better then echo
-VERY roomy, i'am 6 feet and can get in without bending too much
-had a car pool of people and really enjoyed the room at the back too
-overhead space is excellent
-good gas milage

Cons
-clutch and stick is too buttery and soft for my taste.
-understeers way too much (honda signature)
-feel unstable at highspeeds
-tires sucks in the rain

i drove it after almost two years and it has to be sold because it crashed two times at highway.
but.....
just to let ou know how much i like it, i'm gonna sell it and buy another jazz.
and this time i want to buy the red A/T one.
the older one was brown an M/T.

+ points:
*effectiveness in space usage. it makes you a little bit hard to find a big vacant room in the engine bay but it makes you feel big enough inside. i even can sleep in my car because it have a "smart seat" applied. (i'm 178Cm tall)
*its i-dsi engine is a money saver.... try to change gear right before it reach 3000rpm(i've tried it on my jazz before), after a week, you'll found what i mean.....

- points:
*don't expect much power from its i-dsi engine. it is good at 2000-3000 rpm, but it's poor at 3000<. you better choose vtec version. but honestly, suzuki swift's VVT engine is better than Jazz's VTEC engine. i've prove it with my cousin's VTEC jazz and my friend's VVT Swift. but the difference is not significant....
*if you bought i-dsi engine and want to change the spark plugs(ex: NGK Iridium ), be prepare to buy 8 pieces of it . because it has 2 spark plugs each pistons.

but afterall...... it's a city car..... i love it the way it was......

I haven't bonded with a car so strongly as this one in years.

I just filled with my 2nd tank of gas and recorded 33.4 mpg on the first one -- consisting of mostly city driving. And I just squeezed into a parking spot (I live in crowded Chicago) that nobody else could have used.

My car is a white Sport with a stick shift. I love the lightly brown seats, the degree of side support, and amazing seating comfort. It shifts very "snick-snick." And the cargo loading is amazing: I've loaded two bicycles in the back (cargo area folded flat, front wheels removed).

Will drive this car a long time!

I finally saw one in person and that bitch is freakin' tiny!
Holy Christ! I thought my lowered Sol looked small until
I saw this; but it looked cool. Couldn't check out the inside
since it was parked in a parking lot/someone's car .
Those Fit's with K motor swaps must be fast as shit.

Just took my Fit on a 500+ mile long trip, consisting of 99.9% highway, with lots of long up hills to climb. Averaged a solid 30mpg on my way there, and 28mpg on the way back - I admit, I was pushing the Fit nearly 80mph uphill and a bit past 90mph downhill Not bad at all considering the small engine. I wasn't tired after the long drive, so it was a good testament to the confyness of the seats I did however miss a center arm rest, so perhaps in 2007 I'll be adding it to the Fit. The center console I've added really helped out on the trip, holding my cd's and my EasyPass tag - it was very easy to discern the covers of the cd's at night, thanks to the leds I installed. The T1R intake I installed wasn't too bad on the long drive: the droning sound only comes on during hard acceleration, and it ceases completely once you reach cruising speed - it sounds just like stock cruising at 80mph. I'll make that same trip again for Christmas, so I'm looking forwards to the drive again

How do I get a center armrest? Is it an accessory someone sells?

[strangelife]

I guess this is a good buy then !

I am wondering if I sould get me one of these !!!!

[ramen-DA]

i drive my girl friends dads sometimes its the dark grey 109hp one(sorry, i still dont have my fit facts down) and i love it, it still scoots for what it is, and i love how responsive everything is! i want one!

Look up the JDM Jazz/Fit center console. Its a bit price in the $250 range but it fits right in and adds that missing touch.
