I'm here, but no-one's asking anything.

Can you ship a Fit Sport MT to CA for me?

If you get any advance info on redesigns for the Fit, including interior features, I'm sure we'd all love to know about it! We've been suggesting some improvements, but of course we also understand that too many changes means the possibility of the price going up too much.

I do have one question -- is there any advantage to get the oil & filter change at a Honda dealer vs. any quick change place? There's no such thing as a Honda-made filter. I understand there are only a couple of manufacturers providing most of the filters.

Glockprime, Yes, I will, for MSPR plus the cost of fuel and a plane ticket. Or fly out and I'll pick you up at the airport. Then you could drive one home! PM me if you're interested.

FondaFit, There is not much of a benefit to doing it at the dealer. Only that often, dealerships will give you discounts or coupons when you buy the car. Other than that, no difference. It mostly depends on wether you trust your "quicky-change" location. Make sure you log the oil change in your service history book and keep the reciept....Just in case.

Claymore, I will check and get back to you shortly.

Drive? I was thinking along the lines of a car transport.

Glockprime, certainly we will transport. It would just cost what the company charges.

Please don't depend on Honda advertisements for this information as there are several versions around with different answers. This has been hotly debated in several forums so an answer directly from the Honda technical department would get you a good rep for your "Ask the dealer post". We are counting on you to get the official results direct from the Honda engineers not sales department fluff. Here's your chance over to you.

From my friend at corprate R&D 3400 is the vtec point couldn't say whether it was that different to other versions in the world, he didn't have that at his finger tips,one open prior to VTEC both open at VTEC.
