I'd just like to start off by saying thanks to everyone who has contributed to this forum to make it one of the best I've experienced.

On Friday I said a farewell to my lowered SSM GE8, traded her in on a Nissan Frontier. I thought it was time for a little change. I didn't feel like the Fit was going in the direction I was hoping in my mind it would, in terms of what I wanted to do with it. I've been thinking about a truck for a while now and came up on a screaming deal that helped me financially as well. I will miss the 40mpg but so far the efficiency of this Frontier seems good, I went with the King Cab 4 banger 5 speed and it pulls strong,has around 160hp, and 175lbs.

I guess mostly I just couldn't bond per say to the Fit. It was just a car to me, a love hate relationship on its wavy highway driving characteristics (even after multiple attempts to correct it with suspension and tires) the noise level while I got used to it can get annoying, the 2012s are better but my '10 5 speed at 75mph would get loud. A few other things here and there that I grew to dislike. I never would have thought I'd say that the ride quality and noise level in a truck far exceeds that of a decent Honda car. This thing is down right quiet inside, only spins like 2k rpm in 5th at the same speed the Fit would be screaming at 3800.

Well I guess thats bye for now, I will probably pop on once in a while and give my 2 cents on any matters. Until then

 

Sorry it did not work out for you but I guess for some it just doesn't and then for others like myself - I can't think of driving anything I'd love as
much. Come back and visit from time to time.

 

That's cool, if it wasn't doing it for you, well it is better to get something that does. Hopefully the Frontier brings you smiles in some form. Definitely a completely different type of vehicle.

 

Waste of gas is when you're not having fun driving what you have... Good luck with your new truck!
