How did you get it for so cheap?

This is what you said earlier:

That's a great price point! I had no idea they were that cheap. 17 yo son wants a tC - I told him we'd contribute but not buy it for him, don't want to take away that pleasure and pride when you can buy your first ride!

So what color did your mom get? Does she mind the huge pillars and small rear window? I get claustrophobic and I am afraid I'm going to clip someone changing lanes.

I used to dislike the 2009 Fit, now its growing on me. I like it now. It looks aggressive and the new headlights is beautiful, the dash, seats, engine has more power, rear headrest, compartment under the rear seat, and more room is very tempting. Also considering the fact that it is a new body style.

None. With the money I saved, I can buy about a dozen nice Garmins. Just one will do, though.

Sorry, I was confused since you were comparing it to the price of the Nav equipped 09 Fit and thought they both had nav. How much did you save versus the regular fit sport?

I read it today at work! Hopefully something cool comes out tomorrow. (like some pictures of the TW NA fit on hondas website) Although, at this point I am just ready for a test drive.

Tonight I got to drive a 2005 volvo s40 t5. I'm trying to get used to a stick so I don't embarrass myself when I test drive the '09 fit a month from now. My DD is a 98 Accord with an AT.

There is a pretty good review on you tube that has the 09 parked beside the 08 and it look gigantic. I am going to be a complete wreck by the time my car gets here!

That's cool. I mean I want mine to get here soon, but if it takes a little longer I'm okay. It'll help me save a bit more to put down should I decide to purchase one! (optimism)

The Sport pictured in this linked article shows a gray interior, what am I missing?

If I read the 2009 Owner manual right, only the Canadian AT will not have a spare tire.

I'd say that good news for the US owners

Maybe I'm the last to know lol
But the 2009 Center arm rest is really attached to the seat not on the console

Thanks.
I have the Storm Silver Metallic on order but I think this blue looks good.
I think I will stick with the Storm Silver Metallic.
They just moved my build date up 5 days sooner.

WTF!? No seat height adjusters in an $20k car? No way!
