2013 BRM Fit Sport, manual, 54 miles on the odo

didn't get the greatest deal in the world, but thought it was fair

price before tax, plates, etc: $16,931.54

That is a nice color. I see Fits all the time, but seldom in that color. You got a good car. I got a 13 Fit Base 5 MT in Jan of this year, am very happy with it. These cars will last a long time.

Congratulations. Definitely a rare color. What plans do you have for it?

Thanks everybody. Honestly, the only plans I have would be in regards to suspension (a mild drop at most) and maybe a nice double din head unit with nav for the inside. Other than that I think the car is perfect!

I thought about tinting the windows but I'm actually digging the untinted look. It's like driving in a big fish bowl

Nice, stand-out color. I've seen at least one BRM in my area, a Base model. Yours looks even better (Sports tend to, in my opinion).

Have fun out there. :-)

Love the color. Same as mine. Have 7200 miles 9 months old. Every dealer here had a few auto's but no sticks. Then found one dealership with stick and Blue Raspberry Color. Wanted silver but thought hey unusual everybody has silver color cars. You will love the car really engaged driving. Good Luck!

Thanks again all! And yes, I definitely had to have stick. Wouldn't drive it any other way (but that is purely preference)

I just realized the rear windows don't roll all the way down! Strike 1!

I went back and forth (without test driving for comparison) before opting for Manual. I'm so glad I did. I love driving this thing.

Well, I'll be. I've had mine for 2.5 months now, and had never noticed this.

Thanks a LOT.

(I'm thinking it's not a biggie to me, or I would have caught on sooner. Maybe.)
