- The Honda fit is small, nimble, and engaging to drive. But it's kinda slow. Fortunately the aftermarket is huge for these cars, and this one has a full suspension and turbocharger!
Check out Jason's fit on WheelWell!

Honda need to do a Fit Type-R.
Justin Hammonds We don't get that in the States.
I wish we had it in the states
TheStates do get the Mugen Fit, unless this 60yr old guy I saw managed to find a left hand drive mugen 09 fit and drive it to Jersey
Lol
That would be epic. I can't wait for the new Civic Type R.
Possible. Or, more realistic scenario, someone popped a Mugen emblem on a Fit, and it eventually ended up in this guys' hands.
When the guy who drives everything is this excited and giddy about driving a fast/slow car, seems like it is a winner.
At some point you have to seem enthusiastic about what you're driving. If he said "this thing is utter ass and slower than a drunk turtle" a ton of Honda guys would get butt hurt and they would lose revenue. If he talks so much shit about a 200 hp BRZ you can only imagine what he really thinks about this car. I bet anything with less than 300 horsepower is painful to drive for him at this point.
@@twistedtaipan3862 LoL
@@twistedtaipan3862 you sound like a whiney bitch.
Honda Fits are surprisingly good driver's cars, even in stock form.
Simon Coles truuuuueee^^^ i have a 2010 and its fun af. Amazing grip in corners
The Honda fit will rotate if you really chuck it. It's fun though!
I have a 2016, and I guarantee you that it's fun and economical! Also you can sleep in the fit!
@@tylerharrison3631 What are you on about? I have a 2010 and it handles like shit. They all do
I have a 2018 sport, it’s not fast, but more rewarding and fun than my VW GTI and GLI VR6. It drives so directly like a go cart
This guy seemed so nice and happy. I wish all Honda owners were like him
maximus9401 A lot of us are nice, but the prevalence and low price of admission that accompanies most Hondas attracts a lot of douchebags.
maximus9401 Nobody is worse than Audi owners, NOBODY.
maximus9401 Probably because his car didn't suck... unlike most Honda owners. I would be pissed too if my car sucked. lol
csquirrel Save older Audi owners. All the 5cyl cars are legit!!!
maximus9401 Fit owners are generally laid back and chill since we can't really race anyone except ourselves and even then nobody can tell!
This shows you dont need power to have fun :) That was awesome.
+Gingium WHY DO I KEEP SEEING YOU ON RANDOM VIDEOS!!! XD
Sam' s TechTips LOL
because hes like every other car nut, we all roam the youtube looking for fun car videos to watch
@Bowen Donovan 🧢
@Markita Stutheit more 🧢
Anyone else notice how much more fun Matt seemed to be having driving a slow car fast vs. a fast car slow? Drives the point home that you don't need 400 HP to have a fun car... although it doesn't really hurt anything if you do.
Matt had more fun driving this little Honda than most of the high horsepower cars he's driven. That's what it's all about
I had an 08 stick sport Honda Fit. I loved that car. Believe it or not, I made 400 dollars after selling it 2 years later with 20k more miles.
I wouldn't go that far, but this thing was great fun.
TheSmokingTire It's better than that Prius anyway.
Dude cancer is better than a Prius
When in doubt, poop it out.
Yeah it's all about turkey ham!!! "When in doubt poop it out" that's a quote to live by dude... Inspiration right there!
"ALL ABOUT THE VTAK MAYNE!"
"Its vtec right?"....
"well sorta...."
Hhahaha that shit killed me
moknowsyou me too, i thought he nailed that pretty good,
also, i think 'i-Vtec' is the econ vtec(mayne)
ROBtimesTEN i'm not a honda expert, but i think "i-Vtec" is the one with dual cam lobes for that kick. You see it on the side of civic si's. and regular "vtec" is the for economy, emissions, etc...
velocity211 i-vtec is what they branded the slightly more advanced system introduced with the K series engines back in the early 2000's. It has to do with the ability to advance the timing on the intake cam. The only real difference between "economy" vs. "performance" i-vtec is econo only has vtec on the intake cam while the other has both. Regular vtec is found on the older generation of engines, (B, H, F and D series). Honda doesn't really make a point of making any of this clear so you want to do your research if you're trying to piece together a cheap K swap.
Dude went full FOB for like 4 seconds lol.
One of the best One Takes yet, i just love seeing matt enjoying a car soo much.
Ya it turns me on too
That's probably my second favorite build on this channel. I felt bad that he had turbo problems, I'm happy it held together for most of the run though.
*****
1st the V6 engine swap mr2?
Mr2 was my favourite, this is definitely second as well haha^
Jeff K
How the hell did you know that? You must have just come from that video. haha!
*****
because it was my favorite.
Jeff K aww arnt u guys cute
You guys were having way too much fun in this Honda. We use a fit as a camera car and it could definitely use a turbo :p
I love the look on Matt's face as he whips this thing around corners. This car by all rights is the kind of thing a lot of guys would shit on by default. But Matt knows that almost every car has strengths and weaknesses and appreciates when somebody takes a Blandmobile-with-potential and really squeezes every bit of fun out of it. Any rich asshole can buy an already fast car and make it a little bit faster. But for my money it's all about the guys with modest means who can take a slow car and make it, well not necessarily "fast," but more fun to drive. Hats off to the owner and hats off to Matt for showcasing this car.
The owner is terrified and Matt gives 0 fucks. SO FUN.
"he he he" (please don't break my car) - owner
Matt, this is the most i have seen a car make you giggle in a long time, just shows you dont need mad amounts of power to have fun!
Ahhhh, the joys of truly small cars that allow you to take the racing line and remain in your own lane.
When I first got my license I sent a 25 mph left hand going 70 in my 07 Fit and LEGIT drifted it since the rear tires swung off road in the dirt and my front wheels stayed on the asphalt, I looked back rq to see the turn markers flying by 3 feet from my rear corner, downshifted to 4th and pulled myself out of the dirt and immediately began shaking from the adrenaline. I never sent that road anywhere near as hard again, nor any other. I swear that if I didn't play a few driving games I would've had no clue what to do and wrecked my beauty.
I met this guy and saw his fit in person in Anaheim a few months ago. We had a little Evo meet at The Block and he showed up. His fit is super clean :) (Thumbsup)
Sweet little car. This episode had me smiling from ear to ear because the guys were having so much fun.
drives tons of super crazy cars... Has the most fun in a honda fit. haha
Good stuff. I guess this makes up for that Prius earlier.
U on crak m8 ?
Zac Youngson No, why you ask?
I enjoyed the Prius video! Very entertaining 😂
***** I wasn't commentating on the video. The Prius video was very amusing. I was commentating on the Prius itself in comparison to the Fit.
mkygod I am with yah... The prius could have been interesting if it didn't rub on every turn. ha. This fit rules
Slow car fast ftw! When you hear him giggle like that out of a Honda fit you know you've done right
The first gen Fit has always been my favorite. Modified, even better!
My buddy had a K20 Turbo Fit. That thing hauled ass! I think it had like 430hp at the wheels!
400+HP in a FWD sounds terrible unless you're only doing straight-line pulls.. understeer city.
Kaleido Yep! Anything but straight line was useless! But here in Florida its all about drag racing.
yeah haha Florida is all about drags and roll racing
JKFlorida I'm also planning on swapping a k20 on my fit. Do you still need modify the engine bay or just use engine mounts? What transmission does your friend have?
Fernando Domingo you would probably need to re-position a lot of piping
So cool to see Matt's most fun one take is a Honda Fit. Who would have guessed that!? Definitely the purpose of these videos.
What I really Like about these One Takes is the personality that Matt brings. You can really tell when he's enjoying himself and when he really likes the car. This fit and a few others have shown this and had this type of reaction from Matt.
"sub woofer moving is like aids, it only happens once". Thanks @TheSmokingTire, i nearly pissed myself laughing.
This is cool. You can tell he loves his Honda Fit and even though he doesnt have a super car he´s truly an enthusiast, and Matt´s really enjoying this ride which probably made this guy feel great.
This was my favorite episode yet. Add for tuning in oversteer, the easiest way would be getting an adjustable rear bar and tube it tighter for more, that way it can be reduced for more grip. Raising the rear up will give a lift off rotation better, so it's slightly different methods. It's very refreshing seeing someone taking time to tune and test their suspension! Nicely done, both of you!
I remember not knowing what to buy a couple years ago and this convinced me of a fit. 4 years later and i still have it stock. funny this came up now that im thinking of modding it. I love this little car.
I wonder if RegularCars is envious.
NoBrakes23 lol Good point!
NoBrakes23 Not anymore. Operation Vagabond Falcon has gone into effect. . .
Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus So stoked to see what he does with that.
Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus assuming the falcon doesn't throw up it's transmission.
***** Fingers crossed. That's a pretty car.
I love the Fit/Jazz I bought my one that's the same model as this for very little money and it's been my favorite car. I put wider lighter Buddy Club P1 wheels with Bridgestone RE003 tyres, lowered with Pedders Sports Ryder shocks and springs and a Ultra Racing strut bar and it handles like its on rails with no under steer or oversteer. The limitations for grip in this car on mountain roads are now my fear not the tyres. It's not a fast car in a straight line NA but that's not where these cars excel. The Jazz is also a great commuter with not too much road noise and a surprisingly good quality interior for the price. It's also immensely practical with the magic seats and I can never get over 7L/100km fuel consumption that's so awesome. Another thing that I love about the Jazz is the engine, it's very characterful smooth and loves to rev with single cam VTEC switching between 8 and 16 valve engine which gives it a real boost of power at 4600rpm up until the 6.5k redline.
It just shows, he is having more fun in a little honda jazz with good mpg than he seems to in most 500bhp monsters.
Who needs massive power when you can drive a tiny turbo box that's always on the limit? Brilliant stuff!
Seems like a fun car! Honda makes some good and fun cars.
Dcurleyfry not anymore
Dcurleyfry after you slap a turbo in it and do some mods in the suspension
eeterp32 Haha you got me there. The new ones are nowhere near as fun as the older generations.
Yeah I agree completely. The more technology being put into cars is taking away from the driving experience.
I have actually driven a 2015 Corolla and it is definitely a comfortable car. I have a 95 civic hatch and I love it, personally I would take it over any new civic. It all comes down to personal preference.
Loved the "slow->slow fast -> fast slow -> fast" breakdown :)
For whatever reason this video made me really happy.
Good thing about small Hondas, mainly hatchbacks... is they hug the road with the right suspension setup... I enjoyed mine, I owned a few. Like most Hondas... They're light, fun, easy to work on, cheap to fix, and great on gas.
Looking at 89 hatch. What would be easy swap to make it fun to drive.
Next to the Venom GT this is the happiest I've seen Matt in a car. And that says a lot.
Cool ride love a fast slow car! Whoever said it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow was right! Don’t need ton of power to have a blast! Obviously everyone wants 800 hp but cars like this are great place to start and build your skills!!!👍🏿👍🏿
Who else thinks it's time for a S2000 One Take?
I don't think he will fit. I'm 6'4" and when I pulled one into my shop I didn't fit at all. Couldn't do it. Sad day when I found out I could never own one :(
I'm pretty sure I have one in the schedule eventually
TheSmokingTire And an RX8 would be nice too. Pretty good car, but a bit forgotten these days. Still, it was built for exactly these roads and for fun!
MarioSacTron 6'5" here. I daily my AP2 with stock seats/rails. My 'secret'? I drive barefoot... at least until I get my new seat/rails.
Lucky Luke someone sent me an RX8 today. It didn't have much in the way of mods, but I may still get it on the schedule. I really didn't like it when I reviewed it new in 2011.
I have a 2008 Fit base all stock, fun as hell like a go cart.
This has got to be my favorite episode yet. Fast slow cars are my favorite! It has an underdog feel. Seeing the attention to detail in tuning is awesome as well. That looks like a well sorted Jazz/Fit. In regards to oversteer, you can stiffen an adjustable rear bar, or can raise it (the rear) up a bit. Raising it should give a little more lift off oversteer so be mindful if that while tuning. That is a great little car tho!
Damn I can't remember Matt having that much fun in a long time! Awesome video
Love my 07 sport Fit, ain't the fastest thing but i do enjoy it. Glad to see there are still GD3 fans out the and videos of them.
Proof you don't need high power to have lots of fun, Matt has a bigger smile driving this than the high powered things on this channel
I don't think I've ever seen you that happy in slow fast car, Matt! This video definitely backs one if the main reasons why I wanted to get a Honda Fit before. Wish you would travel to other states to do one takes, I have a build I'm working on and when done would love for you to check it out!
There's no point, unless someone covers all the travel expenses. The only way to make money on CZcams is to not spend any money in production.
TheSmokingTire I've got a 7.5L buick v8 swapped into an 89' mercedes e-class with decent suspension and brakes as well as a 500hp 71' riviera on QA1 coilovers that i assume you'd have a blast in.... but i don't assume you'll get a chance to, since you once mentioned on the podcast that my one random town in the midwest is an "absolute shit hole with affordable property" lmao.
TheSmokingTire that's why we love you, honesty.
TheSmokingTire just seeing that "autocross" prius in the back is gonna give me nightmares once again.
TheSmokingTire well then I'll have to figure out how to pay the bill haha You won't be stopping theses One Takes anytime soon cause I'll get the car ready to make a drive to you.
I've never seen you have so much fun driving a car. You were laughing nearly the entire episode. Looks so fun!
Me and this guy share car taste. I just got a 2008 Fit that I want to boost after getting suspension work done, and for my next car I want a C5 Corvette.
Honda really need to get back to their sports car roots......and make a Fit like this from factory.
I love that this car was so good. Matt you made me laugh cuz you were genuinely having fun. Good job, he gets to drive everything and I don't see him laugh like that very often
It's perfectly acceptable to have a mustang and love a little Honda - thanks Matt!
My auntie has one of these, I never realized they were so much fun, I'll have to borrow it off her now!
Matt looked like he was genuinely having fun... Cool little car!
Having so much fun in a fit, that's awesome
This is such a great One Take! Matt is laughing and giggling like a kid in a candy store! lol! Who would've EVER thought he'd be having soooo much fun in a Honda!? Let alone a Honda FIT!!? Great episode... I love this channel.
i personally love this version more due to it being more in a personal level meaning he actually talks to real street tuners and its always fun seeing real every day cars that are tricked out lol
Ive got an 07 stock fit sport 220k miles and it runs strong still. Super fun zipping through traffic
Love videos where you get excited about a fun car. Enjoyed this one a lot. And the guest was great.
When matts happy, im happy
I honestly think that this is the most smiling I've ever seen Matt doing in any car.
A stock GD3 is just as fun to toss around! The stock suspension is pretty damn good itself. I run crappy walmart Goodyear Eagle Authority tires (all season sport tires) and this car does not even chirp u der the fastest turns. It's like a go kart.
awesome vid. you guys were having so much fun it just can't help but make you smile.
Mr Farah is enjoying himself so much!!!
these are seriously so fun on back roads and you get all the attention in them if you go fast
Watching this video made me go out and buy a fit last year. One year later and I'm never selling it.
this car will most definitely give me a fit.
This guy is awesome and it's rad to see Matt get in a one take car that's actually dope
I don't think i've seen you have more fun on any of these video's than this one
The 1st time I drove a 2008 Fit on a twisty rd, I had a smile on my face. Even stock, the GD chassis really impresses me as far as bang-for-buck. I can imagine a turbo would be a riot. The GE chassis is more refined, almost boringly so. I prefer the handling of the GD, but the interior and slightly larger body on the GE8 is almost worth the ho-hum driving experience. Almost...
stick a GE on coilovers and they fly round corners
I have wheels&tires on my ge8, nothing else, and I have a blast! Corners like a champ
Great review matt, thanks for been honest and not overly comparing it to high powered cars as it was never intended as one.
Haven't seen him smile that much in long time.
That was sweet. I thought I wasn't gonna like this take, but I actually ended up loving it seemed like fun. Sweet ride.
It's about time, someone brought a Honda fit to Matt. We have kool cars too.
Same color as mine too! Fit's are awesome, and the supercharger really helps the one downside of it.
"I just drive around looking for turns." Hell yeah.
Great video, Matt! Yet again proof that slow cars fast is more fun. He did an excellent job setting up his Fit. All about balance.
This looks like one of the most fun cars matt has driven.
I'm up to date with the newer vids but going back to this made all of the newer vids seem boring.
One of my favorite episodes to date.
I love my GE8 Fit. I'm running Megan Racing coilovers, no other mods. It dives in and loves to be thrown around!
how many miles you got on it, my buggy is just going into 118,ooo I am now replacing my 1st headlight. Love my car, and I'd be interested in buying another, but I'd like to turbo it for the fuck of it.
Supposedly honda make the Fit/jazz with good chassis's. Glad to see he didn't dick up the suspension geometry by lowering it much, and selecting good spring rates.
I want a fast slow car now LOL! That looked like tons of fun! I'm going to get on your list and drive out from Texas early next year so you can drive my 2015 STI build. It's coming along nicely. I just hope that the racing brake squeal wont piss people off...
Always love seeing a car that makes matt lose his shit like this. Need more fun cars like this.
come on Prelude owners ! . let's get a 1997-2001 Honda Prelude on Matt's show , if u have a prelude and your in the area contact Matt
So he can burn all my oil
I live in miami :(
Slickpete83 I am thinking about bringing my 95 civic coupe to him.
***** laughed way too hard at that. Damn oil pressure switch.
+Slickpete83 JUST SOLD MY 98 PRELUDE 5 SPEED ):
Fits are mental (for what it is stock) with mods, like the J's one or the Spoon !
This is one of the most fun One Takes!
Finally a modified gen-1 Honda Fit/Jazz
they are fun little cars, and practical for a daily
Hilariously awesome! Great variety on your show Matt
"if i saw you in the canyons i would pull out of your way" highest praise i've seen matt give any car
That Prius guy needs to be friends with Jason, because Jason knows what he's doing.
I had the first Greddy turbo kit on my Fit in 06' I pestered them to bring over the Japanese kit but they made a new one for the US market and used my car to prototype. It ended up making 174whp at 7psi. I got the car the first day it came out in April 2006. Mine had a tubular stainless manifold but production models had a cast iron manifold.
It's not always about fast, it's about being fun.
I don't think I've heard Matt laugh so much driving any other car.
These do quite well in the TCB class in Pirelli World Challenge. They are fun watching getting thrown around corners!
Fun car and the owner seemed like a cool guy, great video Matt
My mind is blown knowing the owner wants to go from this Fit to a C6 Vette, damn you couldnt be any more on polar opposites of the car scale.
+cxbra perfect daily already, and then he can have a speed demon to add to the fit.
So awesome seeing such an unassuming car bring so much fun.
All about duh vtec mein
as a Brit I can tell you this car is known as the Honda Jazz in the UK
***** nothing gay about it, tbh
***** It would have been called a Fit worldwide, but "fitta" is a slang term for vagina in Sweden (or Switzerland, can't remember) so they're badged as Jazz's in Europe.
That's awesome, good to see something different like this. It might not be a tire shredder but who says you can't have fun in a small car that handles well.
just came back to watch from Jasons MR2 vid !!
