I have a Hondy Odyssey, have been thinking of downsizing and have looked
at the Honda Fit. Cute little thing and looks like it has room for some
luggage if you took it on a trip. What do you mean "magic seats"? are
they heated?

Did you check out the Fit or test drive it? I was so impressed
with its cargo space and several novel seat configurations: tall mode,
utility mode and refresh mode. I got a chuckle when a car reviewer
called the last mode the canoodle mode ;-)
I think we are way past the automobile canoodling age but you
never know when you need to sleep in the car. On a cross-country
camping trip years ago, it was pretty late when we reached Lincohn,
Nebraska. All campgrounds were full. The same went for motels. A
national bowling convention was going on. We ended sleeping in our
Rabbit Diesel at a rest area. Early next morning, a hippy-looking
young man knocked on the car window. He told us he was broke and
wanted to sell his guitar. We had neither need for a guitar nor much
room in the car. On another trip, we camped next to a lake. A
thunderstorm came by with heavy downpour and strong wind knocked down
the tent and drenched everything. The Camry station wagon was
certainly roomier than the Rabbit!
If you downsize from an Odyssey, it may take some getting used to
the Fit but it is zippy little car which has a surprisingly great
amount of interior and cargo spaces.

Hai Longworth
