Got my TW M/T 5spd Sport last night! :D
Didn't really order it, it just so happened that the car was being made the day I told them I wanted it, haha. So I did that on 2/9/09, got it 3/16/09; not too shabby!
I absolutely love it already, my only gripe is the side mirrors and the way the water stays on them; its been raining quite a bit lately so its kind of annoying, especially when the water dries and spots real bad, but if thats my only gripe I guess we're doing pretty good.
Got her with 9 miles on the clock!
The DD the Fit is replacing - i've got nothing but love & respect for my '91, that car has seen hell; it has a B16A swap and all kinds of goodies in it.

Well I mean the Fit has been compared to the 88-91 Civics all along. And while they are basically the same level of cars from Honda, they are two very different vehicles. The Fit seems much bigger inside, but I'm betting I could haul just as much in my old Civic as the Fit.
The ride....well, my civic isn't stock to say the least. It has Adjustable Koni Yellow struts & H&R race springs, Suspension Techniques 26mm front & rear swaybars, rear disc conversion, all strut bars, Energy Suspension bushings (complete), etc. etc. just in suspension alone, that being said; the ride isn't harsh at all if you set the Koni's to full soft, but its not a forgiving ride either.
The Fit's ride is just....nice, it's what I want in a DD. I don't want something that rides like a cadillac to where you can't feel the road; I want to feel the bumps and the road itself. Thats part of what makes a car what it is! But yes, the Fit's ride is much more compliant than my Civic's although my Civic's suspension isn't set up to be overly compliant.
Power-wise, well my Civic again has a larger engine in it (B16A from an JDM Integra XSi (PR3), with just a couple bolt-ons, but it's always ran good since I got it from Hmotors. Just a couple months ago it dyno'd 161hp/113tq and it dyno'd that about 3 years ago on the same exact dyno, so I am very pleased about that. But yeah my Civic will roast the Fit in all ways lol, but i'm not talking down to the Fit; it moves just fine for what it is!
Haha yeah I forgot to do that, thanks for reminding me!
Guess that makes us brothers! hahaha
Thanks everyone else for the kind words!
And just fyi: I had to think for a second, but yes; my fridge is a white Roper, hahahaha.
