Hi Everyone,

I'm a noob and this is my 1st post here. The transmission on my '94 Accord finally died so I decided to not spend any more money trying to fix that old car. I loved that Accord and it took me a looooooong way but I decided it was time to move on.

So last week I picked up a new 2011 Taffeta White Honda Fit Sport GE8 with A/T and the full NAVigation package. I never had a car with NAV built-in to it or even had audio system controls built-in to the steering wheel so I'm definitely enjoying these features.

I looked at the Ford Fiesta and Mazda 2, but what really sold me on the Honda FIT is its much larger storage capacity. I love riding my electrified mountain bike and I like taking it along with me on the road. The bike loads up so nicely in the FIT. Just put the bench on the rear seats up and place the mountain bike vertically standing on the floor (with front wheel removed of course). Couldn't be any easier. I just love it!

Anyway, I found this forum and I've been reading up the past few days and finally decided to make my first post to introduce mysef. I plan to do some mods and hope to learn from you guys as well as share my experiences with everyone. I'm located in Southern California and hope to hear from local FIT owners as well.

See you guys soon.

Welcome to the boards, Sacman!


Always nice to have another SoCal Fit around.

 

very nice...i luv the fit sport with Nav...i've had about 6 so far....great small car with awesome features. i selll them quick
wish the NAV had bluetooth, but otherwise it's great.

I haven't seen a TW fit sport with NAV...not many around
looks great though. I have a 09 Crystal black pearl with Nav right now...great car
congrats! and enjoy

 

Nice car. Why would you electrify a mountain bike?

 

Looks great! I was considering TW as well but was hard to find a 2010....ended up with the MR which I am happy with!

 

congratulations! Great car and a great color too

 

Thanks... and you're right TW FITs are hard to find, especiallly with NAV. I went thru 16 Honda dealerships here in the Los Angeles area before I found this one.

 

Hehe ... I thought someone would catch that. I commute 70 miles daily with that mountain bike (yes that's right 70 miles daily). It's mostly street riding but I'm carrying a lot of extra weight (battery, electric motor, change of clothes for the office, lunch...etc). With that much weight and that long distance you want a nice heavy duty mountain bike with cushy dual suspension.

BTW riding that e-bike to work and back saves me a ton of money on gas and toll road charges ... about $450/month.
