I have a MR Sport (manual) on order, to arrive in April. I ordered the car now so that I could get an '08, rather than waiting for the '09, in part based on seeing photos of the new model. I like the lines of the older generation car a lot better. It looks sturdy and functional. The new one seems too futuristic to me. (I must admit that the more photos I see, the more I grudgingly concede that it has its own charm.)

One of the cool things about driving a Fit is that there have been relatively few of them sold so far in the US -- though it's apparent that Honda underestimated the market here for these efficient, jazzy little hatchbacks. You own a Fit, you stand out. And that's the way it will continue to be with the older model, especially if Honda sells tons of the new ones.

So if you have a first-generation Fit, count yourself lucky. It will become a classic. Take good care of your car and enjoy it for the many years it ought to give you.

 

Yeah I was just talking to some friends about the fact that these will have only been available for about 2 prod. years. That's crazy I hope that will help them hold there value more!

 

w00t!! someone else sees that the 1st gen fit is the next crx of the 2000's!! :beer: :beer:

 

good post

i fully agree.

 

i've been saying that for a little while too!!

 

yes...it will be a classic on day.

 

Planning to pass it on to my son when he starts driving. Hopefully he doesn't get in a wreck.

 

I'm just planning, to keep the car till it dies, then I'll do a motor swap. Hehehe
Hayabusa V8 engine - The Kneeslider . I think that is a very practical swap

 

I ain't lettin' go of mine.

 

Yeah man, i agree! Great post!
