Im in the market for a 08Fit Sport MT, probably going to get a
Storm Silver or Black in the next 3-4wks. Im not 100% commited yet.
Im coming from a leased 06 CivicEX sedan AT which I plan on returning.
Im going to buy the Fit cash. It's not that the civic is bad in any way...
i just like small boxy cars and given that i don't drive my hobby cars in
the snow (or much of rain either.... im a detailing freak), i want a small
MT car that I can play with all season long.
When it comes to the Fit, im a complete newb...meaning, i only started
reading this forum last night in detail.
So for a guy that's looking to get a new one, what in particular shall i
watch out for...? meaning, any areas of the car with known paint
problems (peeling), any particular mechanical issues.

What option(s)
shall i consider getting? I think i want the auto-dimming mirror as
extra which i'll probably install later by myself while i make my own
map lights, etc.
When it gets warmer im going to lower the Fit and get some 15's or
16's on them. I think the DF210's are what i want from the readings
and 15x7's 195/50/15's. I also want to paint the fog lamp surround
plastic black if I get the silver one.... that plastic pops off or are there
screws holding it down?
Any other tips or recommendations you might have, please let me know.
thanks,
ken
