There's some discussion of the weak AC on fit freak:

The 3td gen Fits might have better AC. I dunno.
Craziness. Maybe they've improved the AC or people use them as mini sweat lodges. I just don't see how you could drive my 2010 there. It would be miserable.
One thing that's nice about them, even though the center of balance is a little high, is that they corner very well, especially if you put wider tires on them. Put some 205/50/16s on them and they just stick to the ground. See this for reference:

I got the Continental DWS on the stock sport rims. It was a huge improvement, though I did enjoy making the car fishtail in the rain with the stock tires. . . . I pushed it a little in the snow with those pos tires and ended half way up a pile of snow once. I was trying to slide sideways, just not that far. . . . Talk of snow is making me want a WRX!

Funny, we just test drove 2 fits today (automatics though, my wife prefers to not have to change the gears herself. Lame). I thought they were fine, though a bit underpowered, but she thought they felt a little cheap. Oh well. also, they are very hard to find used (or our price point was just too low).
My dream car! Once mine dies (94 Miata, I like small cars) I'm gonna see if I can find one.
Being from Sonoma county up north from Oakland, can I request a pic of a lifted fit[emoji769]?
I love my '09 Fit. My only regret with regard to owning one is not being able to find a Fit with the vastly superior Orange Revolution color.
Ah, see, now I see where you're coming from. It probably is the perfect car to drive in the bay. It's little and easy to park, but you fold the seats down and bam, hella cargo space. Still got 4 doors. Probably gets great gas mileage. Probably has some nice features inside. Yeah man, I getchyas, I does.
