Well I think Ive decided...Tafetta White!

Well Ive decided that in a few weeks(end of March) that im going to put my deposit down on an 09' Tafetta White Sport MT w/o navi. As for options im still thinking but im def interested in a few.

Cardinal Honda in Groton CT told me yesterday that they can get any color/trim in a few weeks time. I will not be ready to buy until beginning of May but I was told that if my car comes in, they will hold it!!

As for right now my 215,000 mile celica just has to hold up for a couple more months....(fingers crossed)

OMG a new car will feel soooo nice again!

Thanks for everyones help!

if you can, wait until the insight is out and you'll prolly have more bargaining power.

That would be nice but my 1990 rusted out Toyota Celica with 215,000 miles is on life support! Its saved me from a car payment for the past 2 years but.....time for a funeral!

I am in the same boat with a 93 civic with 216k miles on it... not running well at all!

I would have been getting my new Fit tomorrow, but last Friday we all learned that hours are temporarily cut by 20% at work until business picks back up... sucks...

I am hoping this doesn't last more than a month because I don't think the civic will last much monger without some mechanic's love...

We walked right in and picked up our TW, but of course she wanted Auto, if we went with Manual I would have gotten a 4dr SI.

I was really having a hard time picking a color until I got to see the Taffeta White in person. For me, it really stood out on the Fit. Good luck getting your Unicorn lol

Great choice with the color. TW is the best color on Fits in my opinion.
Hope you enjoy the new ride

I had a black S2000 before my TW fit. Black cars are waaaay harder to maintain. Plus they show rock chips as to where white doesn't. White is still 2nd worse though. And I'm a detailer I always gotta keep my clean so it never gets too bad. Black shows swirls too as to where white doesn't.

OH definately its harder. But I'm just saying that it's not that far from white. Black does show the swirls, but as far as dirt and grime, they are roughly the same....

But I like black because you know its dirty, so you clean it. I know silver is the best color when it comes to hiding dirt. But I wouldn't want to wait too long to clean it, cuz then it builds up and it bakes into the paint.

So at least black keeps you on your feet ya know
