Hello to all who love their Fit!

Just brought mine home yesterday... SSM, AT!

So far, loving it...she gets dirty pretty easily, or maybe that's just her owner's fault :P But the Fit is a fun, enjoyable ride and I'm glad I made it my choice as a first car!

Also excited to be joining you guys here on the Fit Forums

You know just like the Scions, I believe the Fit is marketed more towards a younger crowd, perhaps as a first car. I'm 45 and far from being my first car and I love it. I was considering a Rav-4, possibly used but this is so much more economical and still enough room inside to hold my stuff like my mountain bike. I wonder if their are many more older Fit owners.

Really? seems like 95% of fits I see are driven by the 40+ crowd.

Yeah there are some older members on the site. Sorry if I am wrong but I think Cat is one of our older members and Cat has a bunch of cosmetic stuff done to the car.

LOL... where I live I've only seen one Fit driven by someone who looks old... granted it was obvious she was granny age.

The rest I would peg at between mid-20s to mid-30s, with slightly more women than men drivers.

I myself just turned 30.

I see more and more Fits every day. I get super-excited when I see someone else driving one and I'll but they don't return the favor and I get sad lol. Anyway to the OP, welcome to fitfreak! I see you're from Jersey. I am not looking forward to moving back there next winter!! Cold + Fit = BAD BAD BAD!

Im 21.. And fit's my first car.. Deposits, transactions etc etc was dealt by me, considering i am working already .:')

To the topic starter, i think the nighthawk black pearl is also quite hard to get it from being dirty.. ='S After every rain i have to wash (not shampoo) it all over and wipe it clean.

I'm 35 and this is my 8th or 9th car I think.

I'd say roughly 50% of the Fit drivers I have seen have been women in their 20's. The other 50% are either women in their late 40s-50s or older couples in their 50s-60s.

I have yet to see a younger guy driving a Fit. Actually I am the youngest guy I've ever seen in one and I'm not that young. According to the survey's I've seen 80% of the people buying the Fit in the U.S. are FEMALE.

First off, welcome! I'm very new here as well, but I have found that everyone is very helpful, and there is a great deal of knowledgeable people here!

I'm 46, this is about my 10th car, and my 9th Honda. Honda's are just the best cars around, in my opinion. Both of my (older) brothers drive fancy Mercedes, and my Honda's are more reliable than their $50 -60,000 cars!

I love my little Fit! I've gotten a lot of "thumbs up" from people as I drive it around Boston! You'll have a great time in your new car!
