Hey everyone. Figured I'd introduce myself since I just bought a 07..

I'm Mike and I plan on driving the wheels off this car. I imagine I'll ask some stupid questions, but by the time Ive run this Fit for a few years, I'll be pretty familiar with it and probably want to find a spare engine, just in case lol. I think fits are special. Special because they are so economical to buy and run.. Well, the economical to run will be determined in the future.. But they have a great reputation and it only has 136K on it and I bet I can take it to 300K. In fact, I bet both my GF's 09 fit and mine, both manual, will make it to 300K driving to and from my new bug-out property 45 minutes out of town..

Anyway, I had to find a alternative to driving my low mile 12 valve ctd back and forth as we break ground on "the farm" and I'm happy I found this ugly little car. I'll just wear sunglasses and a hat.

Cheers!

Welcome rerod! Yes, Fits do seem to attract thrifty, practical owners such as yourself! I chose my manual '08 Sport over every other car for the same reasons as you - and I haven't been disappointed! I wish I had a bug-out property, sounds pretty sweet!

 

The fit is all those things you mentioned and also really fun to drive as well. Congrats.

 

Hello and yes both of the Fit's should hit 300k no problem.

 

Appreciate your enthusiasm!
