I like the color, too, and I've seen ICE Fits in the same or very similar color. Few people seem to notice my FIt is different.
Honda covers everything but tires, 12V battery, and wiper blades, thou many drivers have had those covered too. Drove mine for just under 5 years/60K and had zero problems. Surprised that Honda would still be re-leasing the FEV now that the Clarity trio is available for ZEV credits.Valdemar said:Looks like a good number of these with relatively low mileage for its age are still available for lease in SoCal, $200/mo, unlimited mileage, collision insurance, and a Leviton charger included. Anyone knows if they are covered by any sort of extended warranty?
I'm surprised anyone would pay that much to lease a Fit, compared to lease deals on new BEVs, including:KeiJidosha said:Honda covers everything but tires, 12V battery, and wiper blades, thou many drivers have had those covered too.

Now that would be a game changer, if they can keep the price under $20k. It would be viable for some people as a sole car without subsidies, and is priced far better as a primary car for local/regional use. Short/medium commute and local use-only will probably require under $15k.According to media reports, Honda and Chinese battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) will partner to develop an affordable electric Honda Fit that goes the distance. . . .
The new Honda Fit EV (also known as Jazz) is to be ready in 2020 and offered globally in volume of up to 100,000 annually. The keys to achieving that lofty sale goal is a price of 2 million yen (over $18,000 or €15,500) and range of 300 km (186 miles) in an undisclosed test cycle.
Even if the real-world range is more like 200-240 km (125-150 miles), at the price of hybrid, the Honda Fit EV would match the range of the current Nissan LEAF, while undercutting its price by a wide margin. . . .
