Howdy all, just bought my brand new Fit in the Blue Sensation color. Love the car, handles great. Got the 10 yr/100k warranty on it; usually don't get those, but this one came with a money-back guarantee; namely if I never needed warranty work on it they'd refund what i paid for the extended warranty. Figured I couldn't lose. Either something breaks and the warranty covers it, or I get my money back.

Anyhow, was glad to hear all the positive reviews on it; just basically cruising around looking for ideas on once I get some money how to start doing some modding to her.

Got the AT due to the fact that I do a lot of city driving and stop and go traffic is a lot easier in an auto... have to keep reminding myself though that I have to take the car out of gear BEFORE I can turn the car off and take the key out. That and I don't need a clutch anymore... and no need to let off the gas before shifting...

you do know that on the AT's, the steering wheel comes off after you
pull the e-brake handle and press the brake pedal.

Thanks... put her first 50 miles on her today. Raining/light hail so I can't drive her too hard (she's too new to get in a wreck), but so far she's comfy to sit in, responsive to drive. So far worth every penny

Right now I'm just having fun playing around with the seats lol.
