5 Fit Family (lol)

Yeah, it's kind of as dorky as it sounds. The Fits work great for all of us, though, so my husband, myself, and our 3 teens at home each drive one.

We have a 2007 silver, a 2008 orange, a 2008 silver, a 2009 red (mine), and a 2010 black.

They are mostly stock; the orange one (bought used) came with a fancy after market radio with bluetooth. Score.

We are musicians, and the Fit is *awesome* for transporting bulky equipment to gigs, but still small enough to park almost anywhere for unloading.

We also live on a farm with a bunch of animals plus big dogs. So we are frequently picking up and hauling bags of feed, bales of shavings, and sometimes even bales of hay. The Fit's cargo capacity is pretty amazing for its size.

And lastly, with so many drivers in the family, we can save significantly on gas costs with these cars. And in fact, for short trips, we can all fit into ONE of them.

My 2009 is currently all stock; I just added a cd mount for my phone and a little bluetooth adapter so I can be hands free and use the radio and navi on my phone without changing too much. And thanks to the info on this forum, I'll soon be adding Clazzio seat covers (no more dog hair woes!) and a cargo tray.

Love these great little cars!

Thanks!
Oh yeah, our Honda dealer knows us pretty well... They give us little deals/discounts when they can, since we're in there for maintenance on a fairly regular schedule.
One time I went in for service and they had an EV on the lot. Of course they knew I would be interested in that, so I got the pitch and the tour of the car and nearly signed up for one! (So sad those have been discontinued.) Someday I want solar panels on my house and a Fit EV to drive.

Not yet! They never all seem to be washed at the same time, lol. (We are only using carwashes currently, as the drought here has placed restrictions on washing cars at home.)

Once I can get everyone to go through the carwash on the same day, I am totally going to line them all up for pics!

With three teens behind the wheel, I'm glad I'm not paying your insurance bill.

Thanks for the welcomes to the forum!

Ah yeah... the insurance bill is definitely not the most fun thing. (It is good incentive for the kids to keep their GPA's up, though!)
