[Honda-Boston]

Hello All: Found this website a few days ago. Nice to see a fair amount of people conversing about the new 09 Fit. I decided to leave the Volkswagen world & join the Honda team. I owned 5 Jettas in a row. I was tempted to get the new Jetta TDI, but diesel prices are appx. $0.70 more a gallon up here in New England & the price tag was $23,500. Not worth it IMHO. I own a Honda Marine engine (BF150) & my wife use to own the 1st year Honda CRV, all damn near bullet-proof. She sold it a couple of years ago to her friend & it's still going strong after 130,000+ miles.

I placed an order this past Thursday for a Milano Red Sport (MT/No Navi) Sold my 2003 Jetta GLI VR6 (23,000 miles) for $10,500 today. Took me all of two days to sell it! I know, looks like I don't put on that many miles. Well...I will be very shortly w/ a new sales territory. Anyway...A couple of questions.

Do you think it's worth getting the Navigation set up for an additional $1850.00? I don't really need it, but the long haul will it help the resale in 5 years or so?

Also...What's the deal on the Arm Rest Kit? With MT is a no-go? It seems like it has plenty of distance from the shifter! Any insight here?

Is there no hood type of visor that prevents stones etc. from chipping the front hood? I noticed CRV's & Elements have this accessory. Nothing for the Fit? I can't seem to find anything.

Any "real" reports on highway MPG? If you take it easy (say 60 mph) can one get high 30's for mileage?

One bummer...Just found out in another post, no Zune with USB (sigh) I assume that the Fit Sport comes with a mini-jack...correct?

Ok....I guess I've worn out my welcome w/ so many questions. Any & all inisight would be appreciated. Looks like 8 weeks for my new Honda Fit Sport, maybe longer if I change & get the Navigation!

Thanks All!

BTW...I paid retail (no markups) here @ Honda North in Danvers, MA.
