Decided to join the Honda gang

Hello everyone! I just recently bought a 2015 Fit EX with 12k miles on it and thought I'd join the forums to learn more about it. I've been a car guy for a while, and I got this as my daily so I could stop putting miles on my 2009 370z. I keep saying I won't mod the Fit but we'll see how long I can hold out before I do. I'm a photographer so I needed something I could carry all my camera gear and tools in, and the Z was becoming really cramped, especially with my sub box in the already tiny hatch.

So far I like the Fit, but it's a huge change obviously from what I'm used to. 40mph is a nice change of pace, and I was confused when I went to fill up and only got 7.5 gallons in before it shut off on me. Had no idea it was such a small tank haha.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to learning more about the car and breaking my vows to keep the car stock. The price of parts for this thing is awesome, I saw the HKS exhaust was like $350 or less. That's amazing to me, my LTH/CBE combo with carbon fiber mufflers cost me almost $3k for the Z. Cheap parts will be a nice change of pace lol.

Here's some pics I took of the fit the day after I got it, and of the Mistress as she currently sits.

You certainly picked one of the most boring Hondas to join the gang with lol

I understand the cargo space needs, the Fit definitely does a good job there.

Welcome!

Lol it definitely is kinda boring, but at this point that's what I need. Anything even remotely sports car-like and I'll be throwing money at it left and right. I need to keep the daily the daily. I need to keep the daily the daily. I need to keep the daily the daily...

Hey, welcome to the forum!
Love the 370z looks great

I like how you bought the Fit for many similar reasons as to why I want a fit.

I'm also a huge car guy and I want something that won't make me want to invest a lot of money into it. I was looking into a SI but I know that will just be another money pit for me.

Also, I want another daily driver that won't be faster than my FRS(86) so I'm capped off a 200Hp haha
