YES!

Consider: People can drive Picanto and the other malaysian small cars that has less power than the Honda engine. so why can't Jazz/Fit go up?

The 1.3 iVTEC has the same engine power of 1.5l of other makes.

The issue is not the engine displacement...it is just using the right gears.

Aiyah, don't listen to people lah?

HONDA FIT is definitely FIT to go up lah!

I have gone up in GD 1 with 4 adults. Better than any other bigger cc cars!

C'mon. don't doubt HONDA leh!

Going up is not a problem, but when coming down, just don't overheat your brakes! use engine brake.

Haha, going up when you need power, you use it. When coming down, you use it again to slow down (engine brake)!
