Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself as I'm new to the world of Fit ownership! I've wanted one for awhile now, and I've already talked a few friends into buying them. After doing the research on small 4 door hatchbacks, the Fit just kept coming up on top, way above the competition. I wasn't planning on buying a new car when I woke up yesterday morning, but when the transmission in my 02 Focus ZX5 died a sudden and noisy death I figured it was time to bite the bullet. I found a 2011 Fit Sport at a nearby Kia dealer and went to check it out, falling in love instantly. It was traded in by a 70 year old guy, it was in incredible shape, and only has 35k miles! It was the trim level I wanted, manual transmission, and even my favorite orange color! I'm loving it so far, and I'm looking forward to many years with this car. I've got a couple vintage Honda motorcycles but this is my first experience with a 4 wheeler by the brand, so hopefully you guys will be patient as I learn the ropes

Anyway, here's a couple pics of my new baby! I'll get some better ones once it's not yucky rainy weather and I can give her a proper wash and wax.

 

Welcome to Fitfreaks and congrats on the New Fit

 

Congrats on purchase and welcome

 

Welcome! The Fit goes well with the old Ford pickup.

 

one of the best Fit colors. Welcome.

 

awesome! good choice going with the MT.

 

Thanks everyone! I'm loving this car more and more as I get used to it, it handles pretty well. I'm definitely glad I went with the manual transmission, I've had 3 different automatics fail in a row so I'm done with them. I missed shifting anyway! I also love the color, it's pretty close to the original paint on my 72 CB500.

 

Unfortunately the 73 Ford pickup is a member of the dead transmission club, it's about to be replaced with a second gen Econoline van.

 

Nice color, congrats!

What are your plans for the car?

 

As of now the plan is to keep it stock and just drive it, I have other vehicles to do custom stuff with. Although we've all heard that before!

 

Congrats on the purchase, it's a neat little car for sure. Looks like your windows are already tinted which saves you a few hundred and will do a nice job once summer comes along.

 

yes, the windows were tinted by the previous owner.
