Hi All! I picked up a Crystal Black Pearl '09 Fit Sport on 12/10. Funny thing was the Fit wasn't even on the radar. I had test driven a Yaris(underpowered, too light) Matrix(only 2.4L all wheel drive available) and a Scion Xd, the leading contender. The Xd had a better stereo, just as comfortable seat, a tad faster, and was $1000 cheaper. Only after doing internet searches did the Fit appear as a viable alternative. The model was not known to me, nor with many people who I tell which Honda I bought. After a test drive of a '10 and the last '09 Sport on the lot, and a printout comparing the specs of the Xd and Fit, a decision was made! What sold me were the 5 speed auto, the 5 star crash rating, and the magic seat. Magic seat hell, its a freakin' GENIUS SEAT! Perfect for hauling home a BIG SCREEN TV BABY!
I've been visiting FF since I bought and have learned so much that I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the owners, mods, and members for a top flight forum and responsive membership.

 

Welcome! I've been visiting FF for a while too but just started posting today. It's a great forum.

 

congrats. yah, there's really no car in this price range that can beat the FitSports.

yaris, corolla, matrix especially are so bland and cheaply made it kinda ruins the toyota's quality reputation.

 

Congrats....you will LOOOOOVE this car. I love mine more and more each and every day!
