The quote I got was around 9k for a GD3 1.5 VTEC Fit 2004 all inclusive for a low mileage (20k miles) car. This was a bit more than we were prepared to pay for one. I wonder if it would be any cheaper if we both imported one?

Shame that you guys don't have that kinda fund, well neither do I, but for sure, if i had the money i woulda bought it!
White vtec ftw =] touché that i already got my "oldie" jazz from parents XD

Kerbie, nice cars... i too have had a DC2 and DC5....
you will not be able to get a 1.5 vtec (GD3) unless you are willing to pay about £3000 for a new model report to be made..or implant a new engine and gearbox into a GD1..
the current model reports are only for a 1.3 Auto only... i enquired about it when i imported my own white GD1
....the new shape (GE) will be in the UK/EU soon (- I saw one today, testing in Warwick.)
it might be better to enquire about importing the 2nd Gen Fit (GE)

I sat in the new shape Fit and the Fit RS when I was in japan back in November. To be honest, not that impressed with the improvements. I think the improvements aren't significant enough over the current Fit for me.

Update - I tried my best to get to import a Fit but like the other UK forums members suggested, it was just too difficult and costly!
Soooooo instead I bought another Integra Type-R .... but this time a Black 2005 facelift model! I had played around with the idea of a SWIFT Sport but it just didnt compare!
Here is a little pic! Hope you like!

Your FIT is HOTT!!!
Ehhh I think you can do better than those wheels. A set of Volk, Work, or Mugens would be aweeeesome!
