Fit - Complaint
Purchased a new Honda Fit, after having a wonderful Honda Civic VX for many years. FIT is great, except for a couple of things, and my inquiries about how to get them fixed are ignored. Two major problems:
1. There is no "horn ring" or alternative within reach from the rim of the steering wheel. Even at 6'2", my hands can't reach it. In an emergency as well as normal life this is a real hazard.
2. The front seat headrests are anatomically misformed. For my wife, they push her head forward and cause neck pain. Honda's answer? Remove it.

The two items that you mentioned can't be fixed, at least not by the manufacturer. The steering wheel design is what it is. I infer from your complaint that you wanted to be able to hit the horn without removing your hand from the rim of the wheel. I am unaware of any requirement for that, and in my vehicles you have to take one hand off the wheel. I think the original VW bug had one of those rings.
The headrest will fit different people differently. They aren't going to be able to supply another headrest, which is probably why they suggested removing it.
It is unfortunate that you didn't discover these items during your test drive. My belief is that you will have to live with them now.
