Arrow Purchased '13 base FIT w/ 5 speed auto for $15,574

It's Silver . Now have 2 FITS , a '11 base automatic as well . $17,015 - $750 ( FLEX - rebate ) = $16,265 - $300 ( Dealer Discount ) = $15,965 . Also got floor mats ( $101 ) , mudguards ( $124 installed ) and a Cargo Cover ( $166 ) for free . That's an additional saving of $391 , therefore $15,574 before taxes , fees , etc.. The '13 is quieter than the '11 . Especially engine noise . It also has engine immobilizer with security system . The display is 38.1 m.p.g. overall for 146.3 miles and little under 3/4 of a tank . Like this one a bit better than the '11 .

Go to here for pics , First tank = 402 mi = 50 MPG - MirageForum.com , pictures on page 1+2 . It's in the Mitsubishi MIRAGE forum because we had thoughts of purchasing one and are comparing F.E.. Decided on the FIT because of the price at $15,574 , hard to pass on . The MIRAGE forum is a nice site as well . Some are getting very good gas mileage

Wow, that is impressive mileage. And I thought my 34 MPG was good!!! Before my GD goes away, am gonna try one more time just to see if I can get 40+ MPG on pure highway driving.
Thanks for posting the link to the pics and write-up.
Nice deal and color on the '13.
His and Her Fits. PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!
Its what I wanna do but just can't pull my wife away from her SUV ('11 RX350 - best was 24.5 MPG hwy). At least I beat the EPA rating.

Thanks . Maybe you could get her into the new Hybrid Fit C.U.V. with the all wheel drive :- ) . Do you plan to buy the '15 ? We're hoping they'll bring the FIT ( City ) sedan in a year or so . Will likely jump on that . Then have to decide which one to trade in . Might have to remove a FIT hub cap and flip it like a coin . Here's the '11 FIT entered at FUELLY.com , Blue (Honda Fit) | Fuelly . You'd think the '15 with the C.V.T. could surpass the 2nd generation F.E.. with ease . Last , I think we got a very nice deal . Less is never enough .

The start of this tank for the '11 is 39.2 . Had a hard time getting it to this point thanks to non stop winds of 20+ , one steep hill to climb , 2 people and about 50 pounds of groceries ( cooler included ) . Go to here for more pics , First tank = 402 mi = 50 MPG - Page 2 - MirageForum.com , that's if curious .

Before talking with her 'bout cars again, gotta secure my incoming GK LX first. Had a hard enough time getting away with this as the GD continues to faithfully putter along. Now that its presold, there's no turning back.
As for the City, like the looks. Bet that will achieve even better MPG.

After test driving the '14 Civic, the CVT did not impress me. That's why, from the GD A/T am getting the GK 6-speed instead. Am sure though, it will satisfy the ,majority of buyers. MPG on that tranny, with you behind the wheel - that result we shall be looking forward too!!!!

Handsome? From the rear, yes. However, that hood line just doesn't do it for me. Psuedo hood bulge makes me think its a Korean design.

Previously posted your "stellar" achievement, but that was thinking you were "solo" on that ride. Now, with the detailed load exposed - that's astounding!!! Keep up that great driving.

We also test drove a '14 Civic LX with the C.V.T.. We liked the C.V.T.. Road vey well and the interior was solid . No rattles and the streets were quite rough from the winter . We got 32.4 m.p.g. when arrived back . It was mostly city driving . Passed , didn't want a higher payment .
