2013 Honda Fit Sport Hatchback 4-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
When we bought the Fit, we really thought it was the perfect retirement vehicle, one we would have for many years with incredible interior space and it was ridiculously economical. It proved to be both of those things and we will miss it. However, we need a small pickup and keeping three cars is just not in our economic program. The Fit is blast to drive. It’s deceptive. It looks smaller than it really is and I frequently saw it well utilized in India (where it’s called the Jazz,) and was amazed how people made use of the space. With the back seats down it’s almost a station wagon and I couldn’t think of a better car for us, (we occasionally exploit a paper towel sale at Target and swing by for three cases of tomato paste from Costco - this is what “mature” people do.) We have driven it to Las Vegas a couple of times and to the coast three or four times. It’s nice to stop, put $30 worth of gas in it and it’s full. It’s got plenty of pep for a small car but it’s not going to require chiropractic neck adjustments by any stretch. The air conditioning is very, very strong. We found this very comforting during hot flashes both biological and environmental. The seats are wonderful and it’s quiet for a small car; it doesn’t have that rattle and road noise issue of so many smaller vehicles. It’s got just the right set of features that make it the perfect everyday car. Andy, one of my friends who is a Mercedes nut, always gets in it and says, “This car is amazing; does anyone really ever need more car than this?” Probably not. I am taller, and this car has more headroom than any other car other than my old F250. You have to see it to believe it. It’s truly the universal car. There are things I don’t like about the car too. It doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means it won’t sync to your iPhone/Android and let you answer the phone. That came with the Honda navigation package but it was so overpriced I couldn’t fathom spending the money. You can play your iPhone-iPod/Android using the USB cable but I never bothered. I miss the memory seats from the BMW. My wife is smaller, I am taller, that’s a nice feature to push a button before I get in the car to move the seat back. The Fit was $18,800 new, how can I complain? It would be really nice to see someone buy it who will enjoy it as much as we do. It’s a great car. Maybe it’s a great “go to college car.” Our first cars were a Vega and a Pinto (also known as “the BBQ with tires.”) This car is like a BMW in comparison. Safer, tons of airbags, great mileage and yet still small enough it’s easy to park. We’ll see. Happy to deliver it after payment anywhere in Arizona or
California south of the Bay Area for $250.
Q&A Q) Have you smoked in it? A) No, we don’t smoke. I don’t think it even has an ashtray. Q) Any accidents? A) Nope. Not since I
started wearing Depends. (Just kidding,
no accidents.) Q) Any warranty left? A) Up to 36,000 or April 2016, whichever comes first. Q) Dings in the wheels? A) Not a one. I drop
the Mrs. off in low arching dives towards the curbs, never get that close, tell
her to “tuck and roll.” She’s a quick
learner. Q) Dings in the doors or body? Q) Serviced at the dealer? A) Yes. Just changed
the oil again. It’s at 100%. Q) What kind of mileage did you get? A) I averaged a little over 30. On the freeway, almost 34. In town, closer to 29. I have a very light foot, I am really good
with mileage. Q) Would you buy another one? A) In a heartbeat if I didn’t need to put things in the truck I would never put inside a car. Q) Do you need any help selling it? A) No, do you need any help importing the Do Not Call List
into your auto-dialer? |

Honda stretches new Shuttle to Fit the Japanese market
Tue, Apr 21 2015While the Honda Odyssey that we get here in North America may be getting bigger with each passing generation, the minivans Honda offers in its home market are still pretty small. Like the new Shuttle. Set to be unveiled in full next month, the new Shuttle is a compact minivan that looks like a longer version of the Fit hatchback we get over here. In fact previous versions were marketed as the Fit Shuttle, but the little hatchback's handle seems to have been dropped from this latest model. It's still a five-seater, but with extra cargo capacity including under-floor storage, all in a compact, Tokyo-friendly form. It's not as small as a Kei car – the miniature vehicle segment which Honda covers with its N series – but would likely be far too small to suit the typical American family. Technical details are still forthcoming, but the new Shuttle will be available with a 1.5-liter direct-injection inline-four or a hybrid powertrain, just like the Fit. But unlike the little hatchback we know, it will also be available with all-wheel drive.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
Honda and Acura electric crossovers will be built by General Motors
Wed, Jan 6 2021General Motors will partially offset the cost of developing electric technology by manufacturing battery-powered cars for Honda and Acura, according to an unverified report. Ultium battery technology is at the center of the deal. Without citing sources, industry trade journal Automotive News wrote that Honda has agreed to enlist rival-turned-partner General Motors as one of its EV suppliers during the first half of the 2020s. The factory that currently builds Chevrolet's Blazer and Equinox in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, will begin manufacturing a Honda crossover in 2023, meaning it likely won't arrive until the 2024 model year. On the other side of the border, the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, will churn out an Acura crossover beginning in 2024, about two years after it starts making the Cadillac Lyriq. Neither model has been revealed, and Honda hasn't commented on the report. Insiders familiar with the contents of the firm's product pipeline told Automotive News that both crossovers will be about as big as the Lyriq (pictured), which will be close in size to the 190-inch long XT5. Power for the two models will come from the Ultium battery technology that General Motors is developing for over a dozen electric cars, including the GMC Hummer and a Chevrolet-badged pickup we might discover next week during CES 2021. Both EVs will be built by General Motors, and they'll be powered by General Motors-developed technology (some will even receive OnStar and the hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance system), but everything motorists see and touch will be Honda- or Acura-specific. We're not expecting that the tie-up will spawn a pair of blandly badge-engineered crossovers; stylists will likely give each one its own design identity inside and out. Honda had previously confirmed plans to build at least two electric models on General Motors bones, and it announced that its American partner would also handle manufacturing, but this is the first time executives are throwing Acura onto the stage. What remains to be seen — assuming the report is accurate — is whether the Lyriq will compete directly against its Acura-branded sister model, or if they'll be positioned in different segments.
