Drove first and second gen fit sports plenty, never was a fan. I'll stay away from the obvious because it wasn't ever intended to be fast. It just felt like a what it was, an econobox with a good steering rack and stiffer springs. I don't remember what tires the first gen left the factory with but I remember them being beyond garbage, that thing went into abs activation so easily and understeered with ease on tight or sweeping turns. My Volvo 240 outbraked it on who knows what all seasons it came with. You'd think with the 60/40 or worse weight distribution I'd have been able to provoke lift off oversteer but I never managed to. Definitely nothing hot about that hatch.

Hate to admit it but I've been kinda flirting with the idea of a small hatchback for city use such as the Fit. I've never driven one, but if they are anything close to enjoyment I had in the early 00's driving my buddies Integra GSR and Civic SiR, then sign me up! The high ratings from most auto manufacturers has me interested. I'd honestly choose that over a Mazda (just hate anything other than the Miata and trucks they used to make), Ford (tired of their stuff and I hate turbo!), or VW (if it's not german built, I'm not buying).If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

Yes it’s fucking great. I used it for 3 days already for a sweet Porsche Panamera with my wife for our anniversary and took a cruise.
Be mindful of giving the car back very clean. Take photos. All in all I would use again.
Edit: the insurance they have seems reliable and good enough, but if you got some Amex cards give it a shit and charge it aha I believe it also adds coverage on there end but I may be wrong.Last edited by Sonny; 05-03-2019, 04:37 PM.

I had a big mountain bike crash today. I was charging down a fun hilly section but way overshot the landing on a jump, panicked midair and landed crooked with pretty much all my weight on the front wheel. Beyond the jump the trail curves slightly to the right but I lost control and kept going straight, directly into a sapling. Fortunately I was able to bail and do a perfect ninja roll over the handle bars without slamming too hard. It's crazy how fast it all happened. Now I think I messed up the fork on my new bike.

Ouch man! I know a friend that while mountain biking had a crash, landed on a root right on his lower back. Was paralyzed and had to crawl back a half mile back to the parking area before someone found him. He has now fully recovered but man that would be really scary.1990 325is
