What vehicle did your Fit replace?
I like it. I could say my other car is a Fit, but I've never been one to bother with bumper stickers.
2009 MINI Cooper S, Laser Blue, 6MT, Sport Package, Factory LSD. Great handling car, super roomy for someone like me (I'm 6'2"), nice layout of controls, and really loved the looks of it. I am work and don't have the list of receipts for the MINI here with me. I'll update my post once I get home this evening.
Things I had replaced under warranty were high pressure fuel pump, valve cover, timing chain tensioner, and rear wheel bearing. Things after warranty include thermostat housing, high pressure fuel pump (again), valve cover (again), timing chain tensioner (again), carbon build up, and vacuum pump. This figure obviously includes consumables like tires, brakes, and oil changes. Did oil changes every 5000km with OEM filter and Royal Purple.
1995 Nissan Altima. It was time for an upgrade. My dad was the original owner, and I'd had it for about a year as I finished grad school. It still had the original clutch, too (which by that time needed to be replaced). I love my new Fit!
So the grand total cost of maintenance/ownership for me over 23 months was $16,804.46

Don't have a fit yet but I will in a few days. It's replacing my 09 IS250. I totalled the IS and didn't want anymore payments so I decided on the fit. Gas milage and 6 speed ftw.

not much was left unmolested on this car.

Technically my new Fit is replacing a 2002 Saturn SC2. It's the coupe with the little mini backwards-opening door to the backseat on the driver's side. It was phenomenally reliable. Loved the sunroof and the polymer doors and side panels. No rust (except the muffler). I haven't quite yet sold it yet. Trying to get myself moving on that.
I'm hoping the Fit is just as reliable. I'm having a ton of fun driving it and love the modern features. Love my new sunroof - opened it when temps got up to the 50s here the other day.

I'm driving an '02 GTI with some issues and right now I'm looking to get an EX MT before midsummer. I'd be tempted to get a CVT if I could get a really good price (and I mean REALLY good) but I don't think that's gonna happen.
My 2006 Civic EX. Beautiful car, with one of the classiest interiors I've ever seen. Alas, as a coupe, it did not have adjustable height seat belts, and the belt was always laying flat on my throat. Also, the manual transmission was getting tough, as I have sciatica in my left leg.


While I ended up buying a '13 instead of a new one, I replaced a 1500 Dodge Mega Cab. As a sales friend of mine put it, I went from one extreme to another.
Of course I smile every time I go to the gas pump. Interestingly enough, I fill up about the same number of times per month in the Fit as I did with the truck, the difference is it is $20 instead of $100 each time.

VW Golf TDI
My 2010 Fit Sport replaced a 2004 VW Golf TDI, which I passed on to my son, whose car's days were numbered. Loved the mileage I got with the Golf, but have never been disappointed by the my Fit. Both are fun cars to drive and have served my needs well.
