We are getting a new Fit this Friday. Finally...after a 2 week wait after filling out the paperwork!

It's a 2009 LX Tidewater Blue. Very glad that we waited until 2009 instead of getting the 2008 version, especially with the significant improvements...not to mention the sporty look for the LX. Last year, people would have to get the Sports version to get that sporty look.

More details to come...

 

Congrats! As a new owner myself, I'm very happy with it so far.

I agree the LX gives you the most bang for your buck. Tons of extras over the base DX, and not much about the Sport appealed to me either.

 

Agreed! The LX has that cute lil spoiler that gives it a nifty look. The hubcap design on the LX really rocks.


Once we made our formal decision to purchase the Fit LX, they offered us numerous packages. *sigh* Means adding more $$ to the monthly payment plan. We opted for the rust protection plans. In Southwest Ontario, anyone would be insane not to have their car rust-proofed. As for the paint and interior maintenance plan, we declined them. My wife and I can attend to those details ourselves.

As for the extras like the floormats, we'll get them at Canadian Tire. Much more affordable!

 

congrats and welcome to FF

man i must say every day there are more and more
people joining this forum.
glad to see this happing

 

Adding an interesting factoid, guys on PriusChat are adding these aero wheel covers and saying that they get 2 more MPG. But on your LX Fit, that is an aero alloy wheel and not a hub cap...correct or not? "cute spoiler" is the front one?

 

yep the "aero" wheels on the Canadian Fit LX are a direct carry over from the Civic Hybrid.

They are an actual low resistance aluminum rim, not a hubcap.
