2015 Honda Fit EX Long-Term Update 6 - Motor Trend
Our long-term 2015 Honda Fit has entered the tail end of its one-year stint in the #MTGarage. The little red hatch is still running strong and its odometer recently hit 20,000 miles thanks to a few road trips from news editor Alex Nishimoto and associate online editor Stefan Ogbac. If you've been following other #MTGarage updates, you'll notice that Nishimoto happens to be the chaperone of one of the Fit's main competitors, a 2015 Nissan Versa Note SR. He shared his perspective on both cars in a recent update (found here)... Nishimoto lists a number of areas where the Fit excels over the Versa Note. For starters, he says fit and finish is much better in the Honda as is the cargo capacity thanks to the Magic Seats. Nishimoto also had more fun driving the Fit and definitely appreciated the added horsepower, 130 hp for the Honda, versus 109 hp in the Nissan. He's also well versed with hatches, having owned a Versa hatchback before his current ride, a 2015 Mazda3 hatch. Again, the Fit has been nearly perfect, though I've noticed a few issues with the rear hatch. Ironically the plastic trim above the license plate on my '15 Honda Fit. Source: www.motortrend.com
