Cool, 2 more Orangeburst Metallic Fits in the last 2 days! :hyper:

Clemsontag is that an OEM tiger tail? Got that tail duct taped down?

Thanks! I love it so far. Came from a dodge ram. I miss my truck but not the gas bill!

Here's a pic of mine. All dirty from the drive home. Snow/sleet/rain on the way home+alot of salt on the roads=

So far, tomorrow will be 7 days, I have 647 miles on the clock, and a total of 1 gas stop @$29. (I will need gas tomorrow). I love this thing already. In the element, 600 miles would be 2-2.5 tanks of $40-45. Now, if I could keep my foot out of it, I could prolly get better mpg too!

already has 2300 miles since I drove from Los
Angeles to fort hold Texas. Army orders.

Just drove my new 2012 Milano Red base manual Fit home. My first brand new car, after driving a '89 Accord with 218k mi for 15 years. In the dealers terms, I paid $15,061 + $499 dealers fees for a total of $15,560 + 8.31% tax = $16,853 OTD. I prefer to think of it that I paid invoice+tax without any stupid dealer fee profit markups. What a crazy shell game, but I think I did ok.

I looked at the Fiesta which was waaay too cramped in the back, and of course the notorious lack of view out the back window. Test drove the Mazda 2, which was cramped all around and no power at all in 2nd gear. Also, sitting in the back seat, my head hit the headliner curves before I could even touch the headrest. I did really like the Madza 2 shifter, even a bit nicer than the Fit. Also test drove the Hyundai Accent, while the interior cabin space was nice, the 6-spd shifter sucked and pretty much everything felt super artificial and plastic. I felt the Fit was the best of everything at the price range: nice shifting, a bit of fun pep and handling, incredible cabin space, visibility, stow space, safety, resale, but you guys already know this better than me. And this site, having read it for hours and hours beforehand probably played a significant role in my purchase.

I plan to get the windows tinted immediately and I'm still a bit undecided on the clear bra. It seems to work well, but it sounds like the paint kinda blows anyway, so I'm wondering if I'll just have this one pristine patch at the front while the rest is decaying. Also I'll probably pick up the cargo tray, and maybe the cargo cover, which interestingly enough, my 89 Accord hatch has a very similar cheap cover as well. I just read they DIY cargo cover thread, and might try that path first. I've also been eyeing that shifter knob...

nice pics! I'm really digging those new wheels on the fit sport, they look fantastic :D
Happy new year all!

That's exactly what I was saying. They look even better when your ride is lowered.

today I purchased a 2012 fit sport, raspberry blue, 5spd Auto. :D

Well it's about time! ;)

Congratulations.

Just recently picked up a 2012 Fit Sport A/T in Crystal Black Pearl, for ~$17,500 + TTL. Looking forward to learning more about this car :)

I ALMOST bought my 2012 Fit Sport AT in that color, but after looking at it in broad daylight at the local dealership, I personally thought the color was just a tad too tacky-looking (pre-MMC current-generation Fits had a really light blue color I really liked). That's why I ended up with the Alabaster Silver Metallic color for my car.

Color choice is a very personal thing. I really like the blue raspberry and think it looks great especially on the Fit. That said I probably wouldn't have went with that color either but check the color out on this old 'vette :vtec:

Checking in with a brand new Milano Red Fit base!!!! No pics as of yet. Has 1000 miles so far in about 3 weeks of ownership. Current mods are Honda Weathertech mats, muffler delete, K&N panel with modded box and 17 inch black rims.

Good idea on the flipped tag bracket. Today I just received my plates in the mail from the DMV and I think I'll flip my bracket too. I don't suppose it affects air flow to the radiator much?

Tacky? That's kinda harsh. Well we almost bought the orange or raspberry one because they were the only colors for a MT Fit Sport in the Portland OR area, but my wife said those colors were just too "loud". We ended up driving down to Salem 3 weeks ago for one of the only silver MT sports for hundreds of miles. Got it OTD for just under 17k (no sales tax in OR), so I'm happy we made the trip. We really really wanted TW, but I'm lovin this silver color. It hides dirt way better than the black prelude I've been driving for 10 years and that's important with all the rain around here...
