The car wasn't too hard to put apart actually...it's always a bit of a worry when pulling of big panels that you might not get it fitting right again, but seriously it takes no more than about 30-40 mins on each side if you have the tools and kinda know what you are doing.
I think the Fit is a good choice for your mate but he should appreciate the car for what it is and he will be happy with it. It is NOT a performance car but it has the potential to be a very good performing small car. The Jazz got big wraps about having great handling and performance with great fuel economy when it was reviewed and I totally agree with this. It is probably quicker than anything in the same class and it has tons of potential to go faster and handle better. Probably the biggest rival is the Toyota Vitz RS (Echo Sportivo) which is also a 1.5L 4 cylinder and has numerous supercharger and turbo kits available as well as heaps of suspension upgrades. I personally think the Jazz is a much better car because the quality and looks of the Jazz destroy the Echo. The Toyota is kind of cheap looking and the interior is no exception. The only advantage is the cost, you can get an Echo Sportivo for about $12,000 now and the Jazz VTi/S will still cost you about $4000-$5000 more. So really what I am trying to say is that if your mate wants a good performing small car with good potential then a Jazz is perfect but if he wants something closer to an all out performance car then a Civic VTi-R or a DC2 Integra VTi-R would be a better choice.
