I got the red sport, I am really happy with the gas milage so far I drive a lot of highway and been getting 32 mpg. Better than the 12 mpg I was getting.

I got my tide water blue AT sport from Ancona as well... I couldn't get them to bring it down from the MSRP =(, but I couldn't find a Fit at Jay Wolfe or Lee's Summit Honda so I had to settle. Anyways hope we see each other some time guys?

Frank Ancona has a killer parts/service department! I'm from Olathe, so I used to deal with their parts counter all the time.

Congrats on the pick up!

Yeah, I like Ancona. We have a friend that works as a salesman there. They were really nice about us returning our extended and tire warranty too and they put the front license plate on for us for free while we were returning the warranties (we live in MO so front license plate is required). Anyways, have any of you guys bought the Xzilon yet? I wonder if Ancona will be a pain in the butt if I try to get it reapplied every year

We all need to have a meet sometime this summer. I'm living here for the summer for an internship and want to get together with some fellow fitfreaks.

That's quite convenient. I'm at MU for the summer for an internship lol. Where is your internship at? What school you go to? I'm at Truman State Univ - Chem and Bio double major. I'll be at MU doing some research until 8/1/08. Will you still be in town then?

I go to school at Missouri Southern State University, it's in Joplin, MO. I'm working at DST Systems downtown doing programming.

Cool. My H.S. had a program sponsored by DST called Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds. Their goal was to try to get H.S. students to work for them. I took the course, but hated it =). Where you living at? I'm in Raymore

Is it me or am I seeing more & more articals praising the Honda Fit.

holloway2006 · #13 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008, 10:41 PM

The fit is a really great car. Do you not own one?

ChefMark · #14 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008, 10:47 PM

Yes, Got it about one month ago, Drove into Ancona Honda in my 2002 Chevy crew cab pick up and drove out with a red fit. The Thing is paying for itself.

holloway2006 · #15 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008, 10:51 PM

Nice, it really is a great car.

ChefMark · #16 (**permalink**) 06-06-2008, 08:36 AM

I notice you have put bigger rims on your Fit. Has it caused any problems with Milage and or any think else?

rpboy06 · #17 (**permalink**) 06-06-2008, 03:43 PM

Quick question, did any of your guy's fit come with a cargo cover ?

holloway2006 · #18 (**permalink**) 06-06-2008, 11:42 PM

Yeah, I got 17's and my milage went from around 35 to around 31. That's not too accurate of a number though, because the 31 was only 1 tank of gas, and I believe it was when I was hauling my drums around. Handling is a little less responsive going from those really narrow base wheels to 7" wide wheels. It takes a bit of getting used to, and they're not for everybody, but I just really like the looks of bigger wheels. To each their own...

Edit: No, mine didn't come with a cargo cover, but I wouldn't want one anyway.

Thanks for the info...

No problem. So, I got lost somewhere in Kansas last night. My parents are coming up for the weekend to visit and do some shopping and whatnot so I thought I'd go check out that shopping center by the raceway. I ended up taking a wrong turn somewhere and getting lost, it was ridiculous. Luckily I have GPS on my phone and it found my way back :P
