Fitdeez,

You might be the pioneer in here... the first one to post about owning a 2010. Tell us about it. Are there any changes from the '09 that you know of?

ugh, I'm getting the exact same one, but my dealer hasn't gotten it yet.

FitDEEZ · #5 (**permalink**) 10-02-2009, 09:46 PM

Hey, looks like the Honha "H" logos are now set in a red background. My '09 doesn't have this.

I believe he replaced the emblems after the purchase. Pretty simple mod. Makes a huge difference in appearance though.

I see. It actually looks more sporty than the stock unit, which appears to be aiming for the "understated elegance" crowd.

OOooOO, the dealer called me today and gave us the VIN for our new 2010

It should be here around the 8th of Nov.

Picked my 5 speed sport up today with 3 miles on it!

$18,400 out the door! I washed and pulled all of the plastic off myself! I don't trust the detail department at the dealership! Picked up a set of all season floor mats! Removed the "FIT" emblem off of the back already! I'm also picking up a spoon short antenna and having some clear bra installed on Monday!

I pick up my Sport AT SSM w/o nav tomorrow I can't freaking wait. I haven't been able to focus on anything else.

Bought my 2010 Sport, automatic, red, from our excellent local dealer a few days ago. We wanted red which they didn't have, but they got one from nearby dealer in two days. There aren't many available, either 09 or 10, so we paid sticker price, but got an excellent trade-in on my 98 Subaru Forester which flunked inspection on exhaust system and four tires. So far my wife and I like the Fit a lot. I was surprised that it's just as easy to get in and out as the Forester (I also have an 07 Forester). Too early to tell how it will do in snow, but this is New Hampshire so we won't have to wait long. Nitpicks: no variable intermittent wipers, no coin box, no center console (although the second glove box makes up for that). I'm getting used to the silly name.

I picked up my 2010 Fit Sport AT w/o Navi yesterday and it is a blast. I think I am in love. Me and my girlfriend drove it up to West Palm Beach yesterday and then cruised back down A1A to Fort Lauderdale and I can't wait to get into it again.

Hey hopefully youll be checking this forum daily because were hoping to get a Pembroke Pines Fit meet soon.

LOL. I just noticed that the Honda dealership here in Fredericton, NB has no 2010 models of ANYTHING yet. And it's already October 28th. A month ago they had six '09 Fits in stock. They now still have four. That's right: only two sold in an entire month(!).

Yet the lot still sports huge "Blow-out Sale!" signs, even though the window stickers still carry the full 2009 MSRP and Freight/PDI sodomy or worse, a TBD (to be determined) notation where the MSRP used to be. I'm sure that if "TBD" meant a lower price they'd have sold all of their '09s by now. My guess as to why they haven't? They're not willing to budge on the price of these one-year-old cars, choosing instead to play smoke and mirrors with numbers in hopes of finding four more suckers.

My Mom & Dad just picked up a 2010 Taffeta White Fit Sport from Pensacola Honda for $19k even out-the-door. They are loving it! They looked at the base model, but liked the look of the Sport even better.

I just picked up a 2009 Blackberry Pearl Fit Sport. Feels weird driving the same car as my Mom & Dad!

To supplement my previous post on this thread, my price out the door was $18,268. No sales tax here in NH.
