Hello from Cow County!

I'm a Fit owner for 5 days now and I truly like it! I had to trade in my 2006 MX 5 as it became to difficult to get in and out of. ..The Fit sure is a good fit for my lifestyle. My wife is a Blues/Rock singer here in Florida and even just after 2 gigs this Friday and Saturday I can see it will work well hauling our back line and instruments just fine. I am still amazed I can 'fit' so much in it and still have room up front. From the drivers seat it seems like a much bigger car. ..just like my 05 Crown Vic Sport. The trip back from the gig was 43 miles and cost me less than a cheep value menu fries and burger! I better understand now why it has made so many top 10 lists and high ratings and has such a cult following. I'm a Fit Freak now too!

I bought a 2015 PBP EX CVT and I like it more everyday! It's my first ever Honda and I think I made a great choice. I plan on keeping it for at least 6 to 7 years and got a 8 year 120,000 zero deduceable Honda Care warranty. My wife wanted me to get something to replace the 2006 Madza MX 5 convertible and as I researched the Fit kept coming up on best of lists but more importantly how much cargo you can carry. I consider the new generation Fit to be the very best choice for mixed use of cargo and people. We took it to a gig and had 3 amps ,2 full size gutars in hard cases, mandolin+çase my harp case, 3 Mike stands ,2music stands, a cord bag plus more! We had room for the one extra passenger. . It made me laugh as our whole back line fitted right in with no damage to the car or our gear..If Honda was smart they would have there add agency create a series/campaign demonstrating how incredibly versatile the Fit is. .

Welcome! The space in such a small car is very impressive.

I hear you on hauling the music gear! I can fit my whole bass rig in there plus stands, etc. and have room left over. And everything is easy to get in and out quickly, too. (I don't use a fridge or anything, but even "compact" bass cabs are pretty bulky.)

I've seen an entire drum kit, throne, hardware, etc. fit in one. Amazing for such a little car.

It's a great car for gigs!
