Hi Fit Peeps,

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike from Miami, and I'm the thrilled new owner of a '16 Aegean Blue EX Fit! It's an amazing vehicle with shockingly great cabin room, great handling and a fun little engine! It replaced my Mini Cooper that went back on lease but I bought the Fit outright so mileage is never a concern. I mainly use the Fit for work commuting and taking my 7 month old daughter around, mommy has a Yellow Jeep Renegade =)

Sorry for the poor quality photos, not a lot of light left when I got home to get a good shot, love this color blue!

Thanks for this wonderful resource!

 

Welcome to the forums Mike.

 

Auto or 6 MT?

 

Beautiful Fit man, I like the color! Congratulations

 

My first car I bought because my brother had bought one (Mazda 626). In retrospect it had niggling problems that I believe were quality issues.

I had owned a series of motorcycles over the years (three Hondas, a Kawasaki and a KTM). I found that the Hondas were the highest quality bikes: well-finished, mechanically sensible and also reliable. The Kawasaki in comparison was rough around the edges with bunches of exposed wires and the KTM was eccentric, sometimes burping oil on the garage floor after a ride.

When it came time to choosing a new car years ago I chose a 2010 Honda Fit and it is the BEST car. It gets great gas mileage, can be used for lots of practical things like carrying a lot of cargo, it looks great and it's fairly easy to maintain.

I'm headed for another Fit in the future, no doubt about it. Enjoy your new ride!

P.S. My wife swears by her BMW and it has its good points...but not as solid as the Fit.
