I've been reading lots of reviews of the Fit. Bottom line, everyone who's a car person and thinks driving qualities are as important as efficiency really likes the HFE (in Sport mode). It's just moved to the top of my personal EV list. It's still about 1-1.5' too short to meet my needs (I find something about 175-180" works), and I want a flat load floor that I can sleep on stretched out, more range, a spare tire and some kind of QC. But I've got to say, a 2nd gen. of this car would come damned close to making me give up ICEs, assuming that I find it fits me well once I can actually drive one.
FWIW, a review at Gas2 by Susanna Schick included the following info:
"
Honda says you can get up to 132 miles while driving in the city, 105 miles on highway, or 82 miles on a mix of city and highway. That’s in Normal mode. Subtract 10% for (most) Sport mode drivers, and add 17% if you’re restrained enough to always drive in Econ mode, which is still MUCH more fun and powerful than the Civic Natural Gas.

That 105 miles range on the highway, with more if in Eco, meets my minimum acceptable range requirement (110 miles on the freeway), although no speed is given and I suspect it's for 55 mph or some other impractically low speed. If I can ever find one to rent, I'll be sure to try and find out.
