New Fit Owner:

Just got a brand new Fit base in NHB with a MT. Had a 2004 Nissan Sentra that was totaled in 2009 and a 2006 Mazda MX5/Miata that had so many engine problems I had to give up on it. Ford Motor in a Japanese car, go figure. This is my first new car and I'm really excited about it. Looking for mods in the future, after warranty. This just seems like the perfect car for me right now. Looking to get bigger rims soon. I like the base model but 15" steelies aren't my cup of tea.

A couple questions though:
1. How often do you guys find yourselves needing oil changes? Honda motors are pretty incredible but 0W/20 has got me a little worried since it's almost like water.
2. I'm 23 and I drive... enthusiastically. It seems to have quite a bit of body roll while cornering. Just glancing through the forums it seems that a rear sway bar is the best fix since it's a unibody frame. Anyone agree or have a better solution?

Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing some unique Fits around.

My mistake. Used to be Nighthawk Black but I guess the proper color now is Crystal Black Pearl. I'll keep it easy... It's black.
