Howdy newb with 09 Fit Sport

Just traded with Toyota FJ Cruiser for an 09 Fit Sport. I drive alot at my job, about 20k miles a year. So when it was time to get something new I wanted more MPG's, fun to drive and retain the ability to put my mountain bike inside the cargo area. I compared a bunch of small SUV's from the MB GLK350 and down. They all got around 18-20 mpg, so that was a no go.

Got a great deal on it, so all is good. It's an A5 model with dealer/aftermarket leather seats and tint. I just had a Pioneer X910BT nav unit installed. Well here are some pic's of it and it's stable mates.

Welcome to the forum and what a clean nice looking Fit - looks pretty good beside the Viper and thank goodness it goes in the garage better
than that SUV would've. I love those seats - great addition.

You should get a matching license plate that says "LOWPWR"

Fit's looking good so far, I like that navi install.

Ha, that's what I was thinking. It would have to be LOPOWR though.

Thanks guys, the seats were listed as a $1,080.00 dealer option.
I negotiated back down to $500.00 under MSRP.

They are better than most factory leather seats I've had. First off the entire seat is leather covered not just the seating area with vinyl everywhere else "commonly done".
The leather is thick and of good quality.

I don't know the name of the company that supplied the leather or did the work, I'll find out and post it.

NOPWR or NOPOWR I think would be more appropriate for the Fit

Fit needs a "My Other Car Is A Viper" bumper sticker/license plate frame.

No one would ever believe it.
