I'm 35, but my wife who drives the Fit is 27. I've owned a LOT of other cars. This one is the slowest, but it's also the cutest.

I kinda missed this post too I'm 39 and am REALLY considering a Fit.

Vehicle history? I'm not 100% on the years, but should be close enough for gov't work...

1984-1985: '72 Toyota Corona (4dr, light blue, 1.8L I believe, 4spd, ~$250)
1986-1988: '73 Mercury Capri (german built, 2.0L, 4 spd, ~$550)
1988-1991: '81 Chevrolet Caprice Classic (gold, smallest V8 offered, ~$1000)
1991-1997: '91 Ford Escort LX (white, 5dr, first NEW car, ~$14K?)
1991-1996: '80 Kawasaki 650 CSR (650cc motorcycle, ~$950)
1995-2004: '95 Nissan Altima (black, 2.5L 4cyl, NEW car for wife, ~$17K)
1998-now: '98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (white, 3.8L supercharged V6, NEW for me, ~$26K + $15K in mods)
2004-2008: '95 GMC Sierra 1500 (white, 5.0L 305 V8, for occassional truck duties, ~$3500)
2005-now: '04 Mazda6 (4dr 3.0L V6, NEW for wife, ~$22K (listed at $26K)
2005-2008: '99 Honda CBR600 F4 (600cc motorcycle, ~$3500 + $1K in mods)
2006-now: '01 Suzuki DRZ-400E (400cc dual sport motorcycle, now supermotarded, ~$3500)
2006-2008: '06 GM Sierra 1500 (Red, 5.7L V8 extended cab, NEW, ~$23K ($29K list + $4K in mods)
2007-now: '07 Honda CBR600RR (600cc super sport motorcycle, NEW, ~$8500)

JUST sold the 2 trucks last week... got the GTP back on the road (street legal again!) just yesterday. It's damn fun, but a road course prepped car kinda sucks on the street. I also have the 2 most recent bikes and the wifes '04 Mazda6.

I'm 35 currently, and a longtime Honda lover. The FiT is the first new car I have ever purchased. Ownership history...

1989-1991 - 1972 Buick LeSabre - Crappy car, but you have to love your first.
1991-1993 - 1982 Chevy Corsica - I will NEVER own an American car again.
1993-1996 - 1985 Nissan Sentra - Blah car at best. Got me from A to B I guess.
1996-2001 - Good pair of boots and bummed a lot of rides. This period of my life SUCKED.
2001-2003 - 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback. The careless kid who plowed into my rear bumper should be forced to work at a sewage treatment plant for a year as punishment for killing this car.
2003-2005 - 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback. Car died as far as I was concerned, though I did sell it to someone for $500, and he got it running again after about a 3 grand investment.
2005-2007 - Working in DC, used Metro mostly, borrowed a friends car frequently worked out well.
2007-Current - 2008 Honda Fit. Perfect.

Smile Old fart - 62

My fit is on order and should arrive in 8 weeks. I picked the simple one - base manual Red. Will add some things but it will be for everyday chores.

Previously owned:
1959 Volvo P444
1968 Volvo P1800
1963 Triumph TR3
1964 Triumph TR4
1964 Corvette 327-365 coupe
1969 Ford extended van
1968 Mercedes 220D
1969 (?) Mercedes 300D wagon
1968 (?) honda 600 (car)
1963 Austin Healey 3000 (BJ)
1959 Morgan
1987 Mazda 323 station wagon
1991 Mazda Miata
1996 Subaru legacy
1959 Morgan plus 4 (current)
1969 Mercedes 280 SL (current)
1966 Corvette coupe 427 (current)
1971 Jaguar XKE coupe (current)
1976 Yamaha trials (175) (current)
1966 Chev. Pickup (283 - 4WD - current)
2002 and 2004 Honda CRV AWD(current)
1991 Mega monster Miata (V-8 with 450 RWHP) stock looking (current)
2000 Miata LS (current)
SOON - 2008 Honda Fit (SOON)

Since I used to race motorcycles for a living, I will not include those I picked up along the way - lots of fun ones from a flat track harley 750 to CZ and BSA gold stars.

Considering I lived in a commune in Colorado for 24 years, I now find it insane I owne so many and am considering selling some to clear out the garage (and insurance fees) to make room for the Fit.

You are never too old to be young.

I hate to skew the demographic, but I'm 85, and have owned our 2007 Fit sport AT since August of 2006. My 83-year-old wife and I are delighted with it. We traded a 1998 Accord for it.

I am curious if you have done any modifications to your Fit. I am 44 and haven't modified any car in 15 years but I can't help but to put some mods on this car. It is just tooo much fun!!
