m_x, where in FL are you? I recently saw my third and fourth 'other' Fits here in Dunedin; both silver, one an EX, the other an LX. Are you in Pinellas?

Yesterday, I traded a 2008 Ford F150 XL 5-speed for a blue EX 6-speed. I didn't need the truck anymore for business reasons. Good truck, but bad urban transit. Fun little car, so far. Bigger inside than out. I lucked out in that the dealer got it in the day before as a "trade" from another dealer.

Traded in my 1992 Honda Civic HB-DX (automatic transmission) for a 2015 Honda Fit EX-CVT in Aegean Blue. I figured it was time to trade in after 22 years! LOL!

You can see my new Fit upfront and my old Civic in the background.

Smile What di I trade in For my new 2015 Fit

I Traded my 2008 Red Honda Fit Sport with 165,000 miles (My Tomato) for a 2015 Honda Fit EX Milano Red (Tomato 2) and I love the new style and features of the 2015 Fit. I even got a great deal on my trade-in was able to maximize the trade-in value even though it had 165,000 miles.

I traded a 2012 Honda Civic LX for the 2015 Honda Fit EX CVT.

Well, actually, I hadn't even thought about trading in the Civic until I got hounded by the dealership two weeks ago about wanting to buy my Civic off of me due to low inventory of used Civics and their high demand.

I love the Fit, but I miss the room in the Civic. The Fit has way more to offer than the Civic did, though.

Still trying to get used to the CVT tranny though... I came from driving a manual all my life, to the 5spd auto Civic to the CVT and I feel like sometimes the motor is going to explode because it never really 'shifts'. LOLz I know.

Ah, yes, the ol' "low inventory" trick. At least you gotta a nice car in return.

Also have driven a manual for eons and I had to get the Fit in a manual too. The CVT or anything automatic just does not do it for me.

Odds are your CVT is great and you'll get used to the sound and feel.

Best wishes with your Fit.

Didn't trade it in but am selling 04 Acura TL now that the Fit has joined us. It has 173k on it and has treated me well over the years.

Nothing...my '03 Ford Focus with the crappy SPI engine finally suffered the well known valve seat drop...wasn't worth fixing or swapping, scrapped the car for a few hundred bucks...couldn't be happier with the Fit

Nothing. I lived in NYC for 35 years and never owned a car until I retired and moved.

Didn't trade

Just picked up my 2016 Fit Ex CVT last week. My Mini Countryman S was at end of lease. Tired of premium gas/payments/service. Don't get me wrong, I loved her. But I get a zippy little car that's got more room, gas mileage, and less payments!! And I get to pat myself on my back and say that I'm being fiscally responsible, and still having a blast driving him/her! I haven't decided on a name yet.

I traded in my 2004 VW GTI VR6. After 235,000mi the clutch died. I miss the 100 extra HP but not the so-so MPG. The CVT has grown on me. I LOVE my FIT EX.

Traded in my '09 Fit Sport MT for my '15 Fit. I had intended to wait until I retired in '17 to trade cars, but I'm glad I didn't since '15 looks like it was my last chance to get a manual transmission.
