After months of constant dread that my Jetta would blow up and then 4 visits to the mechanic in as many weeks, I have finally rid myself of that clunker. Thursday saw me at Sierra Honda in Monrovia, purchasing a brand-new Honda Fit!
It’s a small 4-door hatchback that gets 31-37 mpg. The seats fold into 4 different configurations that are all cool as hell. In Tall Mode the rear seat flips up so that you can fit things like bikes in the back seat. Utility Mode has the rear seats folded down flat for carrying lots of junk. In Long Mode part of the backseat’s 60/40 split folds down while the front passenger seat scoots all the way forward and reclines to create a flat cargo area that can fit things up to 7′ 10″ long. But the best mode of all is Refresh Mode - the rear seats recline while the front seats scoot all the way forward and recline down flat to create a seamless lounge. You can sit in the back seat and stretch your legs out over the front seats and be comfy as can be.
Rick and I put Refresh Mode to the test Saturday night when we went to the San Luis Obispo drive-in theater with a couple friends. While they hung out in their truck bed with a futon mattress, pillows and blanket we stretched out in the Fit for a double feature: Halloween and Superbad. Damn that car is cool! It has to be seen to be believed.
