New 2016 Fit EX-L white

Can't say enough about this car. We got her a week ago at 12miles in the odometer and drove her home to Brooklyn, NY from Toms River, Nj due to no dealer having a white EX-L around the area but good thing we did the drive home, it was an experience to see if the wife would like the car lol. She loves it to death now. A couple of things she did not like but easily replaceable with some mods. Interior lights, no tints on the rear for the kids, the shifter P,R,N,D,S has no lights to determine where your shifter is at? (Yea I told her to just look at the display InFront of the steering wheel) the headlights are halogen. Overall we both like the little fit. Fits perfect in the city. Here's some pics



She's lovely



She's stunning



Be warned, she has a big brother!

White looks really good on the street like that.

You'll need some good quality floor mats for winter: Husky or Weathertech.

Thank you for the reply and black does look great also. Black is just more sensitive when it comes to scratches. White hides it for a bit until you realize it a few months after the fact haha! Black with any defects for some odd reason just pops out like a pimple. Oh about manual I wanted it so bad but wife don't drive manual :-( I guess I would have to deal with the fake paddle shifters. Again ty

Ty for the reply yes I do need some but after thinking about it I think I will destroy the stock mats before buying the husky's. I mean think about it we all buy these nice looking mats that cost us 100+ Dollars And what do we do with the stock mats after we replace them? Still in the trunk brand new LOL, I'll give it one winter. I read Weathertech moves too much so that's out the picture. Ty sir

That's not my experience with them. I love the Weathertech floorliners I bought for my Fit.

What we wanted was the coppery gold they had back in 2009 but they don't do that now. We finally went with the mystic yellow 2016 (got it as a "used" dealer errand car with 2,500 miles for $3000 off). White might have been nice, particularly in summer, but it isn't very visible to other drivers on snowy northern roads in winter. One thing about the yellow, it is always noticeable. You can find it in a few seconds in a crowded parking lot. I, and others who have driven the car, get the impression people on the freeway are less inclined to cut us off. If it's too bright I can always do the errand in my brown '81 Corolla.

I don't know about dark colors showing dings. Even a pinhead size chip on our yellow shows up as black and I dread the day somebody learns how to parallel park using our bumper. I would have thought the opposite, a dark colored car would be least likely to show scrapes, etc.

Ugh do I hate when I get cut off. I usually drop a "gear" zoom in front again lol... Yellow is nice but just to bright for us. This is our first fit and we are getting around to loving it compared to my huge Raptor that I can't park no where in the city. The Raptor has turned to be the weekend get away vehicle and the Fit is the do it all during the week haha.

If this is the case then I will definitely consider it. I have a set for my raptor and love it. I read in an older post about liners and they said it fits loose. But if that's not the case then I would prefer the WeatherTech
