Me. When I'm on the highway I feel like I'm almost fighting it to stay in the lane. That's a bit of exaggeration, but it does seem to wander. I don't know if it is wind knocking me around, or perhaps an uneven roadway surface.

Steering is pretty responsive though, I just have to stay on it.

Just picked up my Tidewater Blue Sport A/T Navi a few hours ago and it's beautiful...
I'm still trying to figure out all the Navi instructions. Love the Fold-out CD player behind the Navi screen!

That's great!! I probably have about 4 or 5 weeks before my Silver Sport Manual Transmission gets here. My current car's timing belt is overdue for replacement, so I'm hoping it will last until my "Fit" arrives......

Yeah that is true...every state have different laws.

Its 35% for front windows here but they dont really enforce it.

I might just do 20% all the way around to play it safe...The car is already dark with dark interior...

My H2 have 5% all the way around except windshield and I get harass all the time.

I still have the H2....I figured with 12MPG from the H2 and 35MPG from the fit, I get 20-25MPG combined so I don't feel too bad about the environment.

It also makes my weekly fill up from 110 bux to 30 bux.

H2 is for weekend and family outing only...not a grocery getter anymore.

Which dealer did you get it from and did you end up paying their crazy mark up pricing on them?

I went to Salt Lake to look at the Fits cuz Boise didnt have any.

I got a call yesterday afternoon from my dealer asking me if I had wanted the wheel locks. I said that I did. He said he would call me in 20 minutes. My car is scheduled to arrive mid October so I didn't know what he was referring to. 20 minutes later he called and said he had a Blue sensation sport with Navi on his lot for me. Apparently, someone had walked out on financing at another dealer and he traded for it. It had tint, floormats and cargo tray, along with the suspect "paint and fabric protection". He threw all of that in including the wheel locks for $100! I took delivery this morning.

Picked up our TW AT Sport yesterday. Awesome car.
Anyone want to buy in Tulsa should check out Joe Marina and talk to Eli or Steve. Both are low pressure and will answer about any question you might have.
