Si for FiT Sport?

SIcivic07 · 02-10-2008, 10:56 PM

due to the 8thgens hassle prone tranny, popping suspension, lack of recalls and TSB work and the drain on my wallet...lately ive been thinking of going back to the dealer, seeing what they would give me on a trade in for my FA5, and walking out with a FIT sport and some cash hopefully. a friend of mine has already done the same...opinions?

dc5jimbo · 02-10-2008, 10:59 PM

197hp dohc vs 109hp sohc si looks beter and the fit use's the same tranny for the 5spd i dont get y u would downgrade i would do it cuz they have bom

Da1nOnLy2k6 · 02-10-2008, 11:11 PM

the fit is a very nice car but not a good idea to downgrade that much. and the fit is only 4-5k cheaper then the si i believe

Solo2EG · 02-10-2008, 11:12 PM

Plus the new Fit will be out by Fall...

slow4drsi · 02-10-2008, 11:19 PM

jterp7 · 02-11-2008, 12:02 AM

new one is reported to have 118hp, but with the same economy as before

Gimenez · 02-11-2008, 12:03 AM

That car is made to save gas... Might as well go for a Corolla.. lol

***andy22*** · 02-11-2008, 12:13 AM

no no my wife has a fit and its fun to drive occasionally. I would never compare it to a corolla. But no a downgrade to a fit from an si is not needed.

Gimenez · 02-11-2008, 12:16 AM

I would get a Fit only if I had the money to put a K20A in it

i have a neighbor across the street with a honda fit he thinks hes crazy always revving it and flooring it one day i caught up with him and then passed him with my r18 fits are slow as hell if u think r18s were slow think things even worst.

Jardiniboy · 02-11-2008, 03:07 AM

If you want fuel economy, get the R18. The R18 get's more mpg than the Fit.

But my brother's GF has a TW Fit and it's nice. Although it's not on fast in a straight line, it's a really fun car to drive. My brother's GF is dropped on eibach pro-kit which is really hot.

yuning83 · 02-11-2008, 03:14 AM

If you gonna get fit, at least wait for the new fit to come out. I saw the Fit being sold in Japan and they have like huge moonroof. Like the entire roof is glass or something which is really nice.

LOL my bad, I never re-read my post, I was suppose to say at least it's not fast in the straight.

I'll have to fix my post.

Fits are ugly. End of story. Just do like I did and find a good dealership to fix all your issues. I love my Si, now.
