So I have gotten into road biking recently and I stumbled upon a great road while exploring the surrounding country roads out by my house. While I didn't make it very far on the bike due to a wild pack of dogs (haha), the Fit was in its element out there. Most of it is nice, flowing curves with quick back and forth rhythm sections. There are several blind hills and sharp curves, so it keeps you on your toes. This is the kind of road the Fit lives and breathes for – diving into a turn, tap the brakes, load up the outside tires, hint of trail braking, then hard on the gas going out. The Fit feels balanced and lively. Hardly any understeer. It feels very neutral and the back end feels as much a part of the process as the front. It never gives up all its grip, but there is a hint of off throttle oversteer present when pressing extremely hard. Not bad for a little econobox!
