Thumbs up The First Fit In Town

I have been lurking here for a few weeks anticipating the arrival of the new Fit to my dealership. I got a call from my salesman saying they had one and only one, fresh off the truck. I am now the owner of a 2015 Fit EX CVT. I am the first in Medford, Oregon to own one! This is a really cool car! I am coming off my lifted F150 and this is the other end of the spectrum. I own a mobile computer repair company and this car is going to save me some serious dough and make my commuting around town much easier.

Dude. I was second guessing my pick of the Alabaster (in favor of black). You killed all doubt. Great pic. Question - so why not the EX-L? Was it the money or just didn't want leather? Thanks for posting!

Lic. Plates

In some states the plates stay with the vehicle, in others they stay with the vehicle owner... That may be the case in Oregon... I know that in California they stay with the vehicle and in Nevada they stay with the owner....

Oh I see. In CA, it takes up to a month for the plates to arrive in the mail. So we have a month to show that it's a new car haha.

I'm in Oregon and I've always had to wait for the plates. Curious.

I didnt have an interest in leather. I got plates with 4 years of tags at signing.
This is new to me as well. No temp sticker uglying up my rear window!
I test drove a 2013 Fit and decided I must wait for all the upcoming changes to the 15. I am glad I waited. It is so much quieter in cabin for road noise compared to the prior model. I had never driven a CVT transmission car so this is all very new to me. I have to say I like the feel of the transmission. I didnt buy it to romp on it, so natural acceleration feels very responsive. The interior is very nice. This car is so fun to drive.

In your neck of the woods I would stay away from white....They will never see you coming 8 months of the year!!!!!!!!


My company actually had a job opening in anchorage I was strongly considering....In the end I couldn't deal with the snow..rain..overcast skies.....Amazingly beautiful place to live otherwise.

I've always had a soft spot for this color. I hope my dealer doesn't drill into the front bumper though.

Nice! I was the first one in my town as well. My dealer is saving the other two fits for the weekend!!

In Texas we drive around with paper plates for 2-6 weeks. I'm always afraid someone is going to just rip it off!!

Nice MPG, I have only gotten mine up to 30mpg with 75 miles on mine so far (I drove it around yesterday)

pictures look much nicer than many of the dealer ones.

I wish they would of integrated the blind spot camera a little better. The wart under the passenger mirror just looks like an afterthought.
