Project Panda - My 2010 Taffeta White Honda Fit Sport Build

kenchan

is that wat the honda city is? sedan and hatch counterpart? (no idea)

im really not very familiar with this segment outside USDM...

Waiz

I think the current City is based on the Civic platform, not sure though

kenchan

yep, makes carrying wheels a breeze. not so much on a sedan...cause you'd have to lay towels or bag the wheels not to stain the seats..only to find you can only place one wheel with tire in the trunk. really not much better than having a coupe.


oh is that right... i have no idea.

The City and Fit share the same platform. I have a Fit Sport (Jazz) in Thailand. A few differences include 4 wheel disc brakes, paddle shifter auto trans with sport mode and a body kit. I paid the equivalent of $21,000 for it.

Just completed 5 months of ownership and nearly 5,000 miles so took her in for an oil change even though the gauge said 40% to be on the safe side



Oil still looked really good but now officially running on Mobil 1 and the M1 110 filter

Also did a tire rotation and the tires are wearing evenly, so no problems reported at all

kenchan

waizzz- you dont do your own oil change?

on m1. im running the green cap (0W20) in my '12.

Waiz

I'm running the 5w20

I have nowhere to do an oil change since my drive way is too steep and I can't get into my garage with either of my cars.

It also allows me to check other things when I go to my mechanic and considering I will go around 5k between oil changes it means I will see him twice a year so not a big deal at all

Waiz

Ken has already seen this but someone just modded a JDM 2014, I think it looks pretty damn good

I like the new front end. The rest not so much.

waizzz- yah, i saw that yesterday. i think the front looks good, but not sure about the rear.

my fit is the last 4dr hatch i will buy for a while, so im not really interested in the new fits as much as i was when the GE's came out.

Waiz

Oh thats good to hear, I mean I went from $70 a week in gas to $27 that alone nearly pays for the car by itself

I just love the versatility of this car and the fact that I can still have fun with it

I like 2014 but I don't care about upgrading, I am perfectly content with my GE too

kenchan

have you seen the new leaked mini-suv honda picture ? that might work for my wife. it's shorter than the CRV, and a lot sportier looking than the CRV.

Waiz

No sir, link?

I wish they would bring the Fit shuttle to the US, that thing is pretty cool

Waiz

How is the Fit treating you David?

I'm 7 months in of ownership and honestly this car is perfect for me and I am glad I bought the car!

speedfreek

It's getting the job done. I am still enjoying it along with the good gas mileage and plenty of room to haul stuff. It definitely fits the bill for what I needed in a daily. I agree with both of you on all counts on why I chose the Fit over a sedan for a daily.
