Just purchased 2018
 
After driving my 2006 Scion Xa for twelve years, I just bought a 2018 EX from Anderson Honda in Palo Alto yesterday.

There was much much consideration between the Lunar Silver and the Helios Yellow, but I went with the yellow. While I might be mistaken for a taxi, I'll always be able to find my car in the parking lot!

It was allegedly only one of five yellow manual transmissions in California.

I sprung for the Honda Factory Performance Package, which was a minor problem as my saleswoman and most of the staff was unaware of it...

I've been lurking on this page for the last three years as I've eyed the Fit since 2006 when I bought my Scion. Back then I couldn't get a Fit as there was a waiting list (might have also been because I wanted a manual).

I nearly went with a CR-V, but street parking in San Francisco made me stick with the subcompact.

Anyway, glad to be aboard. Pricing and pics to be posted later.

what was the price of the car before taxes, fees and the HFP package?

The yellow is great. Easy to spot but nothing garish. Of course i am a little biased. Cant wait to see pics with HFP package.

My Xa was great, never had really had any issues with it. Just changed the oil and drove it.

Around 10 years the power lock motors went out ($700/ea to replace) and a recent iPhone update killed my connection to the car. iPhone showed up as unrecognized device after that.

$17688 was the price before any taxes, fees, or accessories.
