My new White Sport 5spd!

Just wanted to share some pictures of my new fit that I picked up last tuesday. I washed and waxed it yesterday and I love it so far.

Nice!

Is that "5spd" automatic or manual? They both have 5 speeds.

They had to find it. I really didn't have the problem that alot of other people on this site did. I am in kentucky and I had to wait about a month, but I was cool with that.

I had to wait about 2 months for mine but it was just getting ready to be assembled in Japan when I told them I wanted it, so not too shabby either I guess.

Got the fit to replace the integra. It has 175000 miles and I got tired at throwing money at problems. It is a gsr so it is going to be hard to get used to the lack of acceleration. I just wanted some reliable transportation, and I think the fit will fit the bill nicely. The integra is now my track day car.

I'll admit, I was more interested in your diggz than your car haha, massssive driveway though it looks like you're on the boonies? so that doesn't seem so unreasonable...

But back on topic, it is a sweet car since it's the exact same as mine! TW is the bestest. Congrats

I sold my 94 GSR years ago with 161,000 miles on it. If I knew I was going to go through hell with the several Hondas I've owned since I would've kept it and fixed it up. Not that it needed much of that. The interior showed no signs of wear at all except for the carpet mats and 1 minor scratch on the glove box. It ran like new and had some dings on the outside.

I recently was asking myself this question...If I had to choose between a new Fit and (for all arguments sake) a brand new GSR, MY GSR, with my factory cd player, fog lights Dinan chip and 205/50/15 summer tires, though it would be a tough decision, I would go for my GSR because it was so much fun and bullet proof.

Still, my Fit is the best car I owned since.

I did the exact same thing 1.5 month ago. Traded in my 92 LS (MT) @ 17K for a TW Sport 5MT. Like the Fit but somehow still misses my Integra (stock btw), even w/o A/C! (in Texas!) Just love the handling, respond, and was getting 29-31MPG since day one w/o any worry, step on the gas and it shoot. The higher the RPM the merrier...

If I had a choice, I would fix up my old car. Anyhow, my transportation requirements have changed and it's time to let go.

I am loving the Fit more each day (more when filling up! 35MPG+!), but still trying to get use to the RPM surge when shifting...
