I bought used and wanted 5MT so I couldn't be too picky but I got lucky and found a nice low mileage 07 in Blaze Orange. It was not a color I see much around town so I liked that it was something a bit different. I originally wanted black or silver but I'm glad I went with orange. I don't think I'd like to go back to silver or black.

I didn't know the BOM came in a MT 5spd! Can you post a pic?

Like many others, I wanted white. Bought in 08, so I got black. I love the color, except for what it takes to maintain it and the amount of heat that is trapped in the car after a long day in the parking lot.

I purchased storm silver because I got a great deal on it from the dealership I work at, but I really wanted vivid blue. But after adding a few modifications to my car the storm silver is really beginning to grow on me.

I noticed it has been about a year since my last post on this thread. I am liking my Tidewater Blue more than ever & glad I have it. It stays relatively clean, like silver, & is cooler in the summer. And since it is a color no longer available - it is a collector's item

When I bought my Fit from Honda Windward back in '08, I also test drove a black one. I was close to getting it since I like the murdered out look and had visions of a black on black Fit. However, they only had black available in AT, and I really wanted a MT. So, I went with the color I had wanted from the very beginning, SSM, which conveniently was also available as a Sport model with MT at Honda Windward at the time. And MTs were hard to find in Hawaii at the time, so I was ecstatic. I love my SSM Fit cause it looks good even when it's filthy dirty, even in the harsh winters here in Wyoming. My wife on the other hand always says she wishes we bought the black one so she could drive it too since she's having trouble learning to drive a stick shift and refuses to drive my Fit cause I baby it so much, hehehe.

A long time ago when they first came out I wanted a Fit Sport in Blaze Orange Metallic. I got over it and decided to stick with what I had.

May this year I had just bought a 2000 Camaro Z28 with a bad head and rebuilt it. I was driving by a local dealership on the way to work and saw a Blaze Orange Fit. I stopped and looked and it had everything I wanted. It had just over 40k miles on it and I talked them down to $12,000 for it. They offered me $5,700 on trade for my Camaro which was a large profit for me as I had less than $3,000 in the car. I bought it the next day.

In short, no. Even though this is the slowest of all of our current cars the gas mileage makes it a great car and the tossability makes it fun.

I kind of feel like it was one hell of a line up and almost like my car found me.

My 2007 Milano Red is turning into more of a Milano Pink in some places. Anyone else have the same issue and possibly a good wax for a quick fix?
