I just brought home a 2009 automatic base model with 55,000 miles. YAY!
Couple questions:
1) Where is a link to install the mesh up at the front?
2) Installing after market cruise controls: thoughts, advice, which one to get.
3) I need floor mats...
4) Anything else I should do?

Thank you! I had to drive it 4 hours from the lot to home, so I definitely got accustomed to it. Discovered 30 minutes in it didn't have cruise control- in all my car cramming I completely forgot that fact when I went to buy it! Oh well, but my leg isn't used to doing 4 hours drives without cruise control. My upper back is sore between my shoulder blades, but I think that is more connected to the cruise control/leg position issue then the seats. Very fun car to drive, coming from a 21 year old minivan. I think I got around 38-40mpg going 75 mph most of the way, I forgot to properly calculate it.

Here's a great thread with some mods you can consider: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...s-top-ten.html


Welcome to the forum and enjoy your Fit!

 

the fit should have cruise control on it.

 

Correct me if I'm horribly mistaken and the cruise control buttons are located in some hidden crevice of the interior, but the 2009 base model fit does not come standard with cruise control. ;-)

 

Yeah, cruise became standard on a later model year (2011, i think was when).

 

Cruise control was not available on the 2009 Base models. It became standard on all models in 2011. Congratulations on your new Fit and welcome to the forum where you'll find a wealth of information.

 

I bought some Husky floor liners, they fit and work great. Made in the USA also.

 

Congrats on your new Fit! Welcome to the forum!
