2001 f150

My fit replaced my 5.4l 2001 f150 with 255k miles. Hated to trade in the truck but now I get 3x the mileage.

Just got my GK5 yesterday. Replaced a 2010 Subaru STi with 58k miles and 2 passenger side airbag recalls with indefinite time frame for factory replacement. Miss the power for sure, but getting nearly 3x the gas mileage is great!

Have had my 2016 Fit for about a month now. It replaced my 2000 BMW 323CI daily driver that had 230,000 miles on it. I also have a 2012 Subaru WRX with a long list of mods... Most notable is full Flex Fuel conversion and pro tune, so I can take advantage of the 105 octane of E85

Really like the Fit... Perfect commuter car.

My 2013 Fit Sport 5MT replaced my beloved 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon that was in the family since 2009, and I owned personally since 2013. Had well over 200k miles on it, and some suspension upgrades. Sad I had to sell it, but am loving the fit so far!

2005 Toyota Tacoma double cab! I rarely used the truck bed, so it was basically just a giant inefficient unwieldy car.

2002 Ford Taurus. The old dog was a nice ride but was time to put her out to pasture when the coil pack, computer, and transmission all decided to go out at once on the return leg of vacation (and the first 2 damaged the head gasket). Close to 5 grand to get her working agian or a down payment on a new car. I picked new car.

Picked up a '16 LX CVT in modern steel two weeks ago and am loving it so far. Not as much oomph as the old taurus but its far more nimble and its hard to argue with going 300 miles on 8 gallons of gas.

2004 Mazda MPV. Great van, but, kids have their own cars. Love the manual, usable space and go cart handling. Do sometimes miss having a van.

LOL, comment of the month.

A friend of mine works for Toyota and hates their cars, he knows what crap they really are. So he owns a Nissan. He loves Nissans.

a BMW 330i with the Fit LX CVT, the perfect around town and long distance economy car. The Fit is a great compliment to the Porsche 911 Turbo, the opposite end of the automobile spectrum.

Replaced a used POS '03 Ford Focus SE I bought a few years back as a beater for me while my son drives the Corolla to college/work....knew I was rolling the dice every time I drove it, but, up 'til June, I had great luck with chancy shit.....BUT, as the shitty Ford 2L SPI engines were commonly wont to do, it finally dropped a valve seat and destroyed the engine, not worth fixing.....and it's a long known problem that Ford has refused to ackowledge, apparently.... f' 'em

What vehicle did your Fit replace

Mazda 3 hatchback, 2006 MT. Fun to drive and sure footed, but such a gas guzzler compared to the Fit.
