New Fit Owner in ATL
Good afternoon everyone!
I've been silently lurking for the past few months and last Sunday I picked up my "new" 2009 Honda FIT Sport in Nighthawk Black Pearl with 50k miles. Unfortunately I deal with a lot of traffic living in Atlanta, so I had to go with an automatic. On the other hand the paddle shifters are great, the handling is excellent, and the engine is quite peppy!
In order of importance...I decided to go with the FIT because it is fun to drive, gets great mpg, is very reliable (it is a Honda!), and the utility (it will be a great dog hauler once I figure out how to protect the cargo area and rear seats).
I've gotten a good bit of inspiration surfing the forum and mods will definitely be coming, although slowly. My plans are to take care of maintenance and interior/exterior protection before anything else.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase!
I look forward to chatting with you guys and drooling over your beautiful FITs!
For those interested, these were my previous vehicles (in order)...
96 Pontiac Firebird V6 (wrecked)
97 Honda Civic EX (sold)
99 Mazda Miata - 10th Anniversary Edition (6 speed - my favorite, sold
)
97 Honda Civic EX (junked, engine blew)
And of course...here is my lovely FIT right after delivery
