Thanks. I took them last year. It has held up great for being a 14 year old car. I am the second owner and put 100k miles on it in 5 years. I think the silver holds up better with age then other colors. Its not garage kept and the previous owner (a priest) took good care of it. I did wax it but east coast weather is not the best on cars and when you get close you can see the flaws.

Camera angle, distance and a little editing make it look better too

Replaced a 2007 BMW 328xi. It was my first and last German vehicle. Anytime anything sounded off in the car, I could only see dollar signs in my head.

Very happy to be back into a Japanese!

Replaced a 2003 Toyota Corolla with 220,000 miles. Almost bought another Corolla, but I've had my eye on a Fit for a few years.

Replaced a 2000 Toyota Echo. Stupid Toyota stopped making the Echo, I would have bought a new one if I could. Just bought a 2015 Fit EX-L, so far very happy, wasn't sure anything could replace the Echo but the Fit is really a fun car.

97 Geo Metro

Sold '97 Metro 3 cyl stick with 225K miles for $1k! I miss it.
My LX cvt almost gets the mpg of the metro and it's Safer. I'm loving it.

So, you're getting a 2016 model? When's the anticipated delivery date?

> When's the anticipated delivery date?

Different salesmen told me a range of delivery dates from a week ago to October. I believe October is realistically when they will be available.

1998 Toyota Tacoma, 189K miles. Sold to workmate for $3K. Only other new car ever bought. Drove me all over western half of continent and still had lots of life...

Daughter starting kindergarten and we needed another car we could put car seats in!!

We love the new Fit (EX, Aegean Blue). I thought I was going to driving it for comute and kindergarten drop off, but wife has "stolen" it and now I drive the 4Runner!

Tells you something when a mom of two kids chooses a Fit over a 4Runner - Ha!

Downsized from a 2011 Acura MDX Advance to an EX-L as we moved from Delaware to San Francisco. The Fit works much better for us in the city.

I traded in my 2012 Civic (62k miles) for a 2015 DX Fit. Too many cool features to count for a DX. I loved the transmission much better on the Civic, but the suspension of the Fit is miles ahead!

I miss cruise control but not the a/c.

I really should have kept the Civic. It was a great car, very reliable, never had problems with it despite 3 recalls already.

I'm a transit commuter, so my Fit replaced a long (loooong) string of rental Focuses, Elantras, and the occasional Mustang. I'm still getting used to being able to keep things in the car.

Replaced a 2011 VW Jetta Sportwagen 2.5 SE. Quite a step down in room and comfort, quite a step up in fuel economy and reliability (it better be).
