Comparison of 2013 model and after 2015 minor change

A comparison between a 2013 model and after a minor change in 2015

Original text

当方2013年モデルを購入したのですが、先日事故で全損→マイナーチェンジ後の2015年式を再購入するハメになりました。



そこで、2013モデルとはまったく別物になっていたため、これから購入する方の参考になるかと思いましてレビューします。



まず、以下の点が明らかに改善されています。



・シフトチェンジのギクシャク感が皆無になった。非常にスムーズ。

・充電と放電の最適化

・アクセルペダルの反応が格段によくなった。

Translation / English

I bought 2013 model at first, but I came across a traffic accident, resulting in that the car is completely broken, and I bought 2015 model which is the type after its minor model change.

It turned out that 2015 model and 21013 model are two different things, so I hope that my review might be helpful for those who are going to buy the car.

On top of the issues, following items are apparently improved.

- No shift change shocks. Extremely smooth.
- Optimization on charging and discharging.
- The reaction of acceleration pedal.

Translation / English

I purchased a 2013 model, however it was totally broken after an accident the other day→I ended up rebuying a 2015 model after a minor change.

Then, it was a completely different model from the 2013, so I am going to write a review, thinking that it may be of some help for those who are going to buy this.

First of all, the points below have been clearly improved.

・No more sense of jerkiness when changing gears. Very smooth.

・Optimization of charging and discharging.

・Response of an accelerator pedal has been remarkably improved.

（エコモード以外の場合、停車時からでもアクセルを踏んだ瞬間から強烈に加速します。

・エンジン音が静かになった。（前はたまに異音があった）

・ＥＶ走行にならない病が完治。しかも明らかにＥＶ走行に入る頻度が上がった

・実燃費が1～2kmよくなった



今までのフィットの悪いところがすべて改善されています。

ようやくこれで完成品といえるフィットになったのだと思います。未完成品を勇み足で市場に出したホンダの罪は重いですね。

Translation / English

(In other than the eco mode, it accelerates intensely at the moment you hit the pedal.

- The engine became more quiet (there used to be some funny noises at times).
- The malfunction where it does not go into EV mode has been fixed. It clearly goes into EV mode more often.
- Fuel efficiency has improved by 1-2 km.

All of the cons that Fit had has been improved.
I guess Fit has finally become a complete product. Honda is gravely sinful for over-eagerly bringing out an unfinished product into the market.

Translation / English

(In cases other than eco mode, it accelerates drastically from the moment I step on the accelerator even the while it was stopping.
- Engine noise became quieter (in the past it used to make a strange noise).
- The tendency of not shifting to EV drive was fixed. In addition, the frequency of shifting into EV drive has become improved evidently.
- The actual fuel efficiency has improved by 1 to 2 km.

All the areas of improvements that were seen with the existing FIT has been resolved.
I guess it has finally become the FIT as a finished goods. Honda that has launched such an incomplete product too the market in such a haste is gravely guilty.

Original text

燃費性能でいえば互角のアクアですが、フィットが最高出力137馬力でアクアは100馬力しかないので発進加速、高速からの再加速は圧倒的にフィットが上回ります。

（ちなみにプリウスの最高出力は136馬力です）

もちろん室内空間は比べるまでもなくフィットの方がアクアよりはるかに広いので、これから購入を検討する人はアクアは比較対象にすらならないと思いますよ。



【発進時のモタツキ解消法】

Translation / English

Aqua is equal in terms of the mileage performance, but Fit has the maximum output 137HP, while Aqua has only 100HP, so Fit is predominantly superior in the departing acceleration and the re-acceleration from the high speed travel.

(By the way, the maximum output of Prius is 136HP.)

Of course as for the inside room space, Fit is much more spacious, you do not need to compare them, so those who will examine the purchase in the futnre will not think Aqua even a conparison target.


[How to solve the awkwardness in starting]

Original text

発進時のモタツキを指摘されている方が多数いらっしゃいますが、エコモードをオフにすればアクセルを踏んだ瞬間から発進しますよね。



さらに緊急時にロケットスタートで最高速を出す場合は以下の方法をお試しください。

（くれぐれも安全性に気をつけて緊急時のみご使用ください）



①停車時にブレーキを踏む

②ブレーキを踏んだままアクセルを全開にする（ブレーキを踏んだままだとアクセルは利きません）

Translation / English

Many have pointed out the awkwardness at departing, but if you put off the eco-mode it will start from the moment when I stepped on the accelerator, sure.


Also, please try the following method when you want to get to the highest speed by the rocket start in emergency.

(Please be very careful for the safety and use it only in emergency.)


1. Step on the brakes at the time of stopping.

2. Open the accelerator fully keeping stepping on the brakes (the accelerator does not work when you keep stepping on the brakes.)

③Sモードスイッチを入れる（ブレーキとアクセルを同時に踏んでいるとエンジンはかかりません）

④この状態でブレーキペダルを放す→瞬時に全開加速



です。

最初からSモードでエンジンがかかった状態でアクセルを全開するよりこちらの方が速いのです。

なぜならSモードでエンジンがかかっているとクラッチをつなぐためスタートの一瞬だけタイムラグが発生します。

しかし、上記の方法であれば、ブレーキペダルを離した瞬間に

Translation / English

3. Put on the S mode switch (the engine does not start when you step on the brakes and the accelerator at the same time.)

4. Step off the brake pedal in this state → accelerate fully instantly.


This is quicker than opening the accelerator fully in the state where the engine is running in S mode from a beginning.

Because a time lag occurs for connecting the clutch just in the instant of starting when the engine is running in S mode.

However, in the method mentioned above, at the moment when I release the brake pedal,

Original text

「タイムラグゼロでモーター全力始動→Sモードでエンジンスタート→モータアシスト＆エンジンの全出力で急加速」

となります。



これで0-100kのタイムは8秒を切るくらいです。ポロの8.1秒より速いです。

アクアが0-100で10.5秒ですから、「フィットは加速が遅い」などというのは完全にデマであることがわかりますね。

Translation / English

"the motor starts in full power with zero time lag → the engine start in S mode → it accelerate suddenly with the motor assist & engine in full output."


The time for 0-100km acceleration is under eight seconds in this. It is quicker than 8.1 seconds of P(olo.

As it takes 10.5 seconds for 0-100 in Aqua, so we know that "Fit's acceleration is slow" is a complete false rumor.
