Hey guys! My name is George and I just recently bought a used 2009 Honda Fit (manual) while on leave for a few weeks this summer. It's my first car, and is exactly what I was looking for -- the cargo space, mileage, comfortability, and how it handles are all amazing. On top of that, I got an amazing deal on it; the guy I bought it from installed a keyless entry system and did a great tint job on the windows, but then found out he was having another kid -- I had the cash in hand and he had the car, and I ended up walking out paying about $2k less than I'd thought I would spend on a car this summer. I bought an extended warranty to go along with it, so I'm looking to the next (at the minimum) 4 years of driving it.

I'm here in Vegas with my family for another week or so before driving up to Seattle to pick up a friend, and then roadtrip back to Annapolis or the start of the semester. I figured I would join the forum because it seems that there's tons of people here who are very knowledgable about the car and it looks to be a really nice community.

 

Great! Welcome.

As a new owner make sure to check the fluid levels, the tire tread, and the condition of the brakes. Simple checks after getting any new car
