It's adorable. How's the paint job? Was wondering if it was quality issues making them hard to find.

Honestly, I couldn't find anything wrong issue-wise. I looked semi-hard but I'm not one to complain about things too much. I'm ecstatic about a color I wouldn't ever have purchased normally (yellow) only because there are so little of them in the U.S. (According to Cars.com), I REALLY wanted one. Then to find one within 3hrs was just too much to take.

The paint job seems ok but depending on the lighting, it isn't a banana yellow. It can look greenish/yellow or lime-like at times. Doesn't bother me but it is not for everyone. You only live once so I got the screaming yellow just because.....I could. I survived! And am very happy with it overall. Woot, Woot!

I like the yellow. Ever since I saw yours, I have been seeing all sorts of yellow cars (not Fit's), but I don't like the shade as well as Honda's.

I bought a 2015 yellow EX Fit on Monday. I'll try to get a few pics up tomorrow.

So far I really like the car and am quite pleased with the purchase (it is my wife's new daily driver). We really wanted the passion berry purple until we saw it in person and then went full tilt to find a yellow fit. I didn't like the yellow when we first saw it last Friday, but now I really like it now.

Looks good on the pic. I still want to see one in person. Great choice. Rare, and will be a classic.

I just searched Cars.com. I only see 25 yellow fits out of 4211 2015 Fits.

Even more rare is beige. Even more so…I saw only ONE BROWN.

Doodoo brown is King!

Cool, would love to see more photos. So is the color more pale than bright lemon yellow?

Reserved my Yellow Spongebob Squarecar.

Just put down a $500 deposit on a 2015 Honda Fit EX CVT Mystic Yellow Pearl. No add-ons. MSRP plus tax and fees. Now I wait. Salesman says it's scheduled to come in next week. I'm actually expecting it late October to mid-November at the rate they have been doling out the yellow ones. Picked the one with the lowest VIN of the two that are reportedly 'in transit'.

Wondering if there is a problem with the yellow because there are very few out there yet.

I saw this one in person in when I was shopping for my Black LX MT in Omaha. It is a gorgeous yellow... I love that it is a little pale. That makes it more unique and iconic. If it were an LX I would have snapped it up. I predict that it will be a less commonly sold Fit and therefore it will stand out it the crowd!

Congrats on your purchase!!! I hope you enjoy it... I love my Fit more and more each day!

I hope it stands out in the parking lots, which are filled with black, white and grey cars. Should be able to spot it, unless hidden by gigantic Texas trucks and SUV's... And yellow cars are more likely to be seen at any time of day. The passion berry might as well be black at night, and hot during the days. I'm going to order a clay bar and clay lube, and some blackfire crystal seal to keep it shiny and protect it. Stuff gets rave reviews online, and is very easy to use.

Just curious? Why pick the one with the lowest VIN? I would have thought the highest VIN might get you past the date the bumper change was made on the production line (June 9th I think). Of course, they both may be high enough to avoid the bumper recall coming soon.

These two are roughly 717900 and 72400. Built either this month or possibly next month. Just want the one soonest to arrive. They'll switch if the other gets there first.
