Age of the 'Average' Fit Owner
My friends are sort of jealous if anything. Not sure if they are jealous of the Fit or the 21 year old blonde in the co-pilot seat. Well maybe she is a bit older.
p.s. Found two Sport Fits in my neighbourhood. Must go introduce myself.

And I kind of think that she would be proud of my choice. I made a lot of bad choices in my life, cars being one of the categories. I always picked the wrong things for the wrong reasons.
I finally got some sense. Just wish she was here to see it. To see the FIT. And the sense.

hey i was wondering if i could get some feedback
my parents are looking into the fit (due to my convincing). i personally don't know anybody over 40+ driving the fit, however, i'm just curious in regards to what kind of reactions they (my parents) might get from their friends and such. they're concerned that this cars' appearance is too targeted towards young kids (such as myself) and not for their 'crowd' -- yet the dilemma is that this fit is the ultimate DD for them providing great space, safety, and reliability
thanks in advanced!

And yes, with the advertising on the Honda site, I too felt it was aimed at younger folks. I don't want menacing looks and I'm not out to conquer anything, I just wanted to get to the store and back.
But all the information I had pointed at the FIT again and again and again. I posted some of the links here:

Chances are, once your parent's friends see how great the FIT is and how it adapts for so many uses, they will buy one too.

Everybody around here still drives their trucks, SUVs or whatever else gets 20mpg or less. I have seen a few Prius' around but only one Fit in town and that was in the WalMart parking lot, so may not have even been local. I know 40mpg would make my wallet happy.
However, I do see a few Fits around campus (where I work/live). I'm 27 and I have seen mostly women 22-70 and a few dudes 40+ in the GD and an even mix of men/women 22-70 in the GE. I did see a dude with a GD the other day at a stop light--he gave the the "right on" fist. For a while, I was the only GE around, save the "organic mom" lady up the street. Now I'm seeing them a lot more frequently.
Good luck to all prospective Fit owners.

Frankly, I don't give a flying fig what the rest of the populace thinks of my choice. I'm driving it for the better than 40MPG, great cargo capacity, and ultra low emissions ... the 'cuteness' factor is just a happy benefit.
It's a manly car.

Tell them that there are a lot of people in their age group driving the car. I'm probably in that age group.
