First generation Fits outside the US came with 1.3 liter dual spark engines with CVTs. Fantastic little cars, capable of 60 mpg on the highway and up to 70 mpg hypermiling WITHOUT EOC.

Took the pkugs out of one a while ago. The tips were the expected dark reddish, while the post of the electrode was slightly white. Perfect lean burn. And the motor ran perfectly fine on regular unleaded.
