Yep. If a few tweaks are enough to justify buying a whole new car (but it's got incremental improvements in some areas!), go for it.

 

I did. Yes it is better looking. The Note looks sort of like a GE.

 

Unless there is something about the 2015 you desperately want I'd stick with the car you have. Worrying about a few MPG is important if you need a new car, but if you already own a good serviceable car you'll never make up the difference by trading in more often.

Dealers would love to go back to the days of people trading cars in every one or two years since the profits on both new and used cars are fabulous, but with today's reliable cars it doesn't make sense to trade before 10 years or 150K miles.

 

I looked at the Note too. But you get a lot less for your money, interior is much cheaper looking, and the final blow for me is the (relative to the Fit) bad crash test ratings.

 

2nd gen fit got poor rating in small overlap

 

I was just commenting on the styling. The note is much nicer than the Fit.

 

True, but reps from Honda have promised that the 2015 Fit will pass with flying colors on that new overlap test.

 

Styling is more of an opinion really. Saying something looks better than another is subjective.

I do like the look of the Note though, and love the turquoise color.

 

No. I would buy the 2015 if I needed a new econobox. But you (and I) already have one that works. Save your money. Besides, trading an old Fit with rear drums for a new Fit with rear drums just seems ridiculous to me (yes, I'm really hung up on that).

 

I've traded a lot of high quality cars before their time. Constant new car reliability was something I thought I had to have.
Consequently I have blown a lot of money on car payments. You can be addicted to a new car smell.
A Fit is a car that supersedes model year. It's a proud little soul that stand up next to the big boys with a thumb to the nose that says, "I'm just as good and cost half as much."
Trade if you must, but I have traded some favorites for cars that never made my favorite list.

 

I also have a 2010 Fit. I still love it & can't see trading it for the latest model.
The Fit is the first car I bought new and the only one I have had car payments for. I cannot wait until it is paid off! I don't want another car payment for a long while.

Although the noise reduction & moon roof in the 2015 appeal to me, I much prefer the styling on my GE. Not a fan of the new colors--except the white.

I would wait at least until you have paid off the car you have- sell to a private party, bank the money & then consider the 2016 when all the bugs on the first year of the GK have been discovered & fixed. good Luck with your decision!
