Instead of groaning about it.... my little car just eagerly says "yes ma'am! how much more would you like?" I don't push it much past that because it does start to feel a little light in the tail end at about 115.

Nice. I was thinking about getting one in one of my threads here. Is it the basic model?

I was just playing. I started on a 1993 Hyundai Scoupe with a whopping 93hp. That little POS still hit 114MPH on the highway.

Yeah, base 2009 model. I wanted a manual and my wife said no. What sucks is when I told her the sports auto has paddleshifters and would be for both of us she said "Why didn't you tell me?"

LOL..... but I bet it took a while to get there! My first car had a 350 under the hood.... and I've always liked cars with good power lots of pick up. The tC has not been a disappointment to me at all in that area.

Good to know. I'd appreciate interior shots if you ever get around to it. Guess I'll wander by Honda's homepage and see if they have some good shots of it.

*edit* Nah, seats are the same. http://automobiles.honda.com/fit/int...spx?Num=FT7-29

Glad they work for you but man, they just aren't comfy for me. I think it's the fact that they're not true "bucket" style seats- the seat area is flat.

You could always invest in some Bride seats!

Does it have that much room in it for a little car. Because from time to time I have to go to other stores to pick up product and putting things in a Tiburon can be a pain. The other day I crammed as much stuff as i could just to make 2 trips instead of 3.

The seats have around 14 different configurations. You can lay down all the seats and make a bed if you wanted to. I think Honda was thinking of some weird stuff though because there is a hidden compartment under the rear passenger seats that would never be seen by anyone unless you read the manual. It's like it was made for drug smugglers or something.

Ooh, where? Maybe ours has one too!

I have finally found something for a second job!

When you fold the rear seats forward there is a compartment under the one on the passenger side I think. Not sure until I check the manual.

Ok for one I can't fit in the Fit.
And three why would you put seats like that in a Fit??? It's a Honda Fit not a Porche.
