Why I think Fits are brilliant

I personally like my 08 Blue Fit Sport better than 09's, less weird in the back IMO.....good thing because this will be my car for a good long time

I am a photographer, and can fit all my gear in the back when shooting weddings, etc. and have room for an assistant. A 9 foot paper roll fits sideways, rest on dash, and the gate closes with a couple inches to spare!! It's way roomier than it looks....and no wasted space....so well laid out! The hatch is high enough and not sloped, wasting cargo space.

Controls are so intuitive and in the most logical places.....good stereo system, I love the blue dash lights, ample amount of cup holders in easy to get places....cell phone holder. Fun to drive and comfortable enough for trips!

So, when someone asks me why I would buy a Fit, I ask them how much time they have and I will tell them What do you guys like most about yours?

The only thing they did wrong in the GD's is no telescoping steering wheel. I've adapted to it, but it took some getting used to, especially for a taller guy like myself(6'1).

Glad I got mine

its my everything car, what other car this small yet spacious with rear seats that collapse into the flooring, cheap (I got mine salvaged at 6500), & fuel efficient yet peppy could I get for the price? Most of the issues that Ive with it I have fixed myself so its all good
