Honda Fit

[MrBrightSide]

With the ridiculous price of gasoline these days, Im really thinking of getting one. With a couple of mods these little things looks sorta VIP'ish. What are your thoughts on these little hatches...

Why does it look like a Scion XA?

[Kaji]

It's a decently hot car. Much more respectable than an Xa...not that scion's are that respectable to begin with.

[s13coupedude]

yuck get a bicycle.

[Maeda]

Why does it look like a Scion XA?
Because you're obviously high on crystal meth.

It looks nothing like an xA other then its a hatchback.

The lines are completely different!

[FaLKoN240]

I like VIP. I want one for daily.

[Maeda]

The ultimate in VIP is an estima/previa van.

Don't bother with small stuff like the Fit.

[exitspeed]

It's been getting great reviews. Would be a nice DD and good on gas...

[S13SilviaGirl]

cute cars, everyone out here has em...they look nice with wheels and lowered a bit. btw, what are they going for in the states?

[blackflag_Rms13]

I like Fits, though I wish we got the last-gen Vitz.

[speedstar01]

very hot lil honda:wackit: i like the hatch/wagon look

it supposedly will have a quite peppy 1.5 vtec too,no?

i think theyre sexy cars and probably the wave of the future:o

[HaLo]

At least we have the choice between the Yaris (Vitz) and the Fit... I'd take the Fit over the Yaris anytime.

[nevaland9]

they dont look too safe expecially with all those huge trucks out on the road god forbid a firestone goes out on 1 of those trucks and they hits a fit...thatd b a hell of a mess...

[cali240sxdrifter]

drove it last saturday... with the paddel shifters, very smooth car. I love it, can't wait for it to be parked next to my S2000

[FaLKoN240]

I'm sure if a truck hit an S chassis, it wouldn't be too pretty either. I bet that car is safer than an S-Chassis too.

Honda Fit is pretty cool actually

We bought one last week:

24 hours later we were rolling on TE37 Cups, Tanabe Suspension, Tanabe Axle Back Exhaust

Oh, what's that in the front windshield? The SPOON Fit?

Sigh, forgot this a Nissan board, meh

[dacalac]

I picked up mine earlier this week and it's going to Eibach for R&D tomorrow. =)

FIT FTW!

[koukidough]

looks like a small mini-van. Also looks like a toy, all it needs is a giant baby holding it.:fruit:

[speedstar01]

i think theyre cute, kinda like an Si junior, teehee!

[trsilvias13]

Some shop in the bay area has a K20 swap for it in process. They imported one of those in a a few months back just hoping to sell the kit and that this would be a new trend like bseries motor into civics.

[Kaji]

I saw pictures of a fit with a K motor in it but it didn't run. It was in the engine bay but it was not a running car so I'm not sure how much that'll work cause I remember something about a lot of fab work. If they did though it'd be like putting an RB26 or v8 in a S-chassis.

[wootwoot]

rb26 essentially came in an s chassis though...

[SimpleS14]

So none of you like the Nissan Versa (Tilda)????

o rly?

Lisa, they are going for 13k ish for the fit, 15ish for the fit sport. We got them in at tipton last week and I was supposed to test one today, but I was workin my ass off all day, hopefully friday I'll be driving it.

[ranisron]

those little cars are nice! I want one (either Honda, Toyota, or Nissan) for DD

[blackflag_Rms13]

Haha, I just saw a couple of commercials for the Fit. Gave me a good laugh, +1 for Honda for the ads. "The Fit is go..."

[Ricks15]

The dawn of the "shoebox car" era:o

[theicecreamdan]

dual stage, dual threshold front airbags,depending on seatbelt use and impact severity, also detects if a child or a "small statured person" is in the seat. side curtain airbags on all fits.

I would rather be in a fit than a 240 if Im gonna get hit by a truck.

[TheSquidd]

Pretty sweet ride Logie. Bring that shit by K&N we need to make a filter and intake system for that shit! We'll hang out and eat cookies!

[Kn1ves]

i want one :( theyre nice cars

Only da ladies call me Logie. Are you a lady Skizzler?

I think so, by the looks of your fagina and that ride height ;)

[TheSquidd]

More of a lady then you know what to do with :o

[evil_tt]

I have to say that they're pretty hot, my girlfriend doesn’t really think so but then again she'll jelouse cause anythings hotter then that old battleaxe!!!

[Chitown_B14]

my dad is acutally getting one. I'll have to drive it and see how fun it is. i'll let you guys know.

[gorgasm]

they come in stick?

[Kaji]

5 speed manual and paddle shift auto.

[Advan]

That would still make it a manual. With paddle shifters, you're shifting.

[CMO]

I may have to go and test drive one. I think they need a lil more power though.

[theicecreamdan]

That would still make it a manual. With paddle shifters, you're shifting.

its still a slushbox tranny though, paddle shifters is an option for the automatics on the non-sport.

[jessfx]

i'm hoping for one next year. that car is roomy as hell! oh my. i love it. wanna get one for my 21st :D stick shift ftw. i'm actually holding out for it unless i find something else in the mean time.

[ms!3]

whats the gas mileage for one? if it gets more than a civic or a crx i would get that for a daily driver.

31 37 for the auto or paddle.

paddle is an option for the base model.

[tacotacotaco]

TIMMAAAAYY!!!!! yeah it reminds me of a kid with a fat head. I like it tho, Just one of those things a fetish maybe whah ahaha ah aha

[Ghettokracker71]

I would have to get the TRUE manual transmission,not the stupid ass paddle bullshit. (I really hate all those fucking paddles,give me a real fucking clutch,and a real fucking shifter!)

I kind of like them honestly. Although its a SOHC and its only rated at like 100 ish horsepower? I read an article about it,but I think they look hot as shit. Something about them is sexxay...I'd have to drop it VIP style haha

[JDMB0iKT]

yeah the fit is hot as hell especially VIP

[NismoGear5]

Its a fun car, you'll love it. I've had mine since 2002. Compared to other same class cars that I've driven such as the IST, Bb, Versa, Swift, the fit's handling felt the best. Also amazing how much space you get with it.

dAMN THOSE LOOK SICK!!!!!!!! :bigok:

['90RPS13]

I want the Titan in the background of the Velda. Would sit pretty next to my Supercharged Frontier!!!!!:bigok: *a

[alexchanman]

anyone know the difference between the jdm front end and the US front end??? i already seen some people do jdm front end swaps on these bad boys but cant figure it out exactly. some pictures would be helpful toooo.

[BrokenHeart]

i test drove a fit. everything is nice but it is slow as fuck...this is coming from a kid who drives a auto 92 civic dx sedan

but if your looking for a reliable dd then a fit is perfect. all it needs a stupid drop, a fender roll/cut, and some hella blingy (if thats a word) rims

[Omarius Maximus]

VIP fit is an oxymoron. Seriously man

What will people be VIPing next? Kia Rios?

[Jonnie Fraz]

I love how the Spoon Fit owned that Veilside 350z in June issue of Sport Compact Car. Beat the Z by almost 3 seconds @ Willows, and it was out horsepowered by 270 hp...Oh my!

[95zilvia]

Hrm, rear drum brakes... I hate drum brakes. What can you do about that anyone know?

[alexchanman]

rear disc brakes from a civic i think but not sure which model.

[santacruisin]

i hate quoting pictures and for some reason i missed this thread, so im sorry for doing 2 bad things.

but what does what i said have anything to do with "rice". imo fits are slow and ugly stock. so you fix that by lowering it, rolling/cutting the fenders, and fitting nice wheels on it.

slow is another thing k20 swap...maybe

[Jonnie Fraz]

Did anyone see the one at Infineon last weekend? That thing was an animal...I heard that thing start up and was like WTF!?

Hotsauce. The reason these looks VIPish is because of the chrome trim/door handles and clean wheels with wide spokes.

Fits are nice, but you'll end up spending 20K to buy the car AND make it look like that. 20K can get you a better car.
