[pianotech] Vehicle Recommendations

[bppiano at aol.com]

We just got a Honda Fit for my wife.  We both prefer manual transmissions.  The seats fold down FLAT!!  It is very light so you do notice windy conditions.  As for as MPG, put it this way,
recently my wife started complaing she was only getting 39 MPG in town.  While she was away for 10 days I drove her car around town for my tunings to see is I could improve the mileage.
I started getting an average of 44 plus MPG,  with a little attention to the Average MPG display.  We've gotten as high as 52 on the highway.

Just my 2 cents,

Bruce Pennington

Hi Jim,


Tons of room for a grand action!  It looks like a great little car.  Good combination of space and economy.  I haven't taken the plunge yet but I've crawled all over it and test drove it, too.


The middle seats, or technically the rear sits, also fold up in a unique way allowing for a large amount of space behind the front seats for tall objects.  You can fit a mountain bike in the middle section right behind the driver.


Regards,


Rob

Hi Rob,

When you fold down the middle seats, is there enough room for a grand action?  I'd assume so, but just wanted to check.

Hi Paul,


I was recently looking for a vehicle for my business, and the one that I liked as being cost effective, fuel efficient, and roomy is the newest Honda Fit.  The seats fold in all sorts of ways, the lip of the back end is very low so you don't have to strain to lift things into the car.
