【エクステリア】

ガンダム顔のデザインですが、流石に巷で見かけることも多くなり不自然さはなくなりました。



【インテリア】

Lパッケージはちょっと高級感ありますが、まぁフィットです。



【エンジン性能】

ハイブリッドなので、モーターとエンジンの協調にはなりますが、絶対的なパワーは確かに1.3Lのエンジンよりは

あると感じました。高速で運転時に追い越し加速をしてみましたが、それなりのパワーは感じます。





【走行性能】

Though being a hybrid of a motor and engine, I feel that it has more power than a 1.3 liter engine overall. I tried accelerating on an overtake on a highway and I could feel reasonable power.

変速制御やブレーキの効き具合があまり良く適合されていません。加減速でのギクシャク感はちょっとアクセルの踏み方の違いで発生しますし、運転者がクルマに合わせて学習が必要という状態でかなり不快感が伴います。

ブレーキについても所謂カックンブレーキ現象が発生しやすく、運転していて怖い思いを何度もしました。

車体やサス関係についてはFIT2からの向上が良く感じることができました。特に高速での走行時の操安については目を見張るものがありました。





【乗り心地】

Translation / English

The condition of transmission control and brake working do not adapt very much. Awkward movements while the adjusting speed happens the different way of stepping on the gas pedal, the uncomfortable feeling is accompanied by the condition of need learning the driver have to adapt his way of drive to his car.

Regarding brake, the so-called jerk phenomenon happens easily, so I felt terrible when I was driving many times.

Regarding the body and suspension, I could feel the improvement from FIT 2 very well. Especially there was astonishing steering stability at high speed driving.


[Ride Quality]

Original text

後部は突き上げ感が強いとの同乗者からのクレームがありましたが、運転席に関してはFIT2よりも向上していると感じます。

遮音性についてはほんのちょっとだけFIT2より良いかもと感じましたが、大幅に良くなっているとは感じませんでした。



【燃費】

ここはCVTのガソリン車に比べるとかなり良いですね。



【価格】

ハイブリッドシステムに不満がなければ、価格相応。もし不満なら1.5Lのガソリンにすべきです。



【総評】

Translation / English

The fellow passenger made a complaint about the feeling of raising on the rear seat strongly, but I think the driver's seat was improved compared with FIT 2.

Regarding the sound insulation, I felt it was better a little than FIT 2, but I did not feel it greatly.


[Fuel Efficiency]

This is rather good compared with cars running on gasoline.


[Price]

If you have no complaints about hybrid system, it is worth the price. If you have complaints, you should change to the l.5 L gasoline engine.


[General Comments]

I received the claim which is feeling the heavy pressure of the rear seat from a fellow passenger, but I feel that the driver's seat has improved compared with FIT2.
I feel that the sound insulation is bit better than FIT2, but I don't feel that the sound insulation is so much better than FIT2.

'Fuel expense'
This one is much better than gasoline car of CVT.

'Price'

If you are satisfied with hybrid system, it is a reasonable price. If you are not, you should choose 1.5L gasoline car.

'General comment'

Original text

ディーラーでの下道での試乗ではあまり分からなかったことが、高速での運転で色々と分かりました。

ハイブリッドに自分の運転を合わせることを良しとされる方には、割といいかもしれませんが、そうでない方には不評な感想しか出てこないと思います。

自分は回生重視のカックンブレーキが一番不満で、変速制御のギクシャク感が次に不満です。

出だしのＥＶモードはちょっとハイブリッドの未来感をホンダ的に演出しているのだろうと好意的に受け止めました。

Translation / English

I did not understand very much when I test-drove on the general road at the dealer, but I understood a lot when I drove on the expressway.

It may be rather good those who are adapting their driving to the hybrid, but I think those who are opposite will feel bad reviews.

I am dissatisfied with the energy-recovery system of the jerk brake absolutely, the next complaint is the awkward movements of transmission control.

I admitted favorably that the starting EV mode may direct the feeling of the hybrid future a little with Honda-like.

Original text

最新ハイブリッドシステムをフィットに入るサイズに作り上げ、フィットの値段に抑えたことは称賛に値すると思いますが、好みには合わないので、自分は買いません。

Translation / English

It is true that they are great in keeping the price of Fit reasonable by making the latest hybrid system to fit the size of the vehicle, but I do not like Fit so I will not buy.

Translation / English

I think it deserves a praise that they fitted the latest hybrid system into this size and price, but I guess I will not be buying it, as it does not suit my taste.
