I do not know what they are doing either. I have a 2012 Fit sport
with 38,000 driven miles in 16 months...it is not towed, i just use it for work and drive a lot. We tow a CRV behind our Vista 27N. i got the Fit for work because of its good mileage and we have good luck with Hondas.
I recommended the Fit to them for towing because I know they could not afford the CRV.
They are really p-oed about the fit and the tires, and I told them to get a different car...they cannot afford it.
Their 2012 Fit sport is of course like ours...we do not tow it though.
Maybe they should call Honda.
