aging is inevitable, maturity optional. 53 is good, considering the alternative. . .

 

i'm 19 turning 20... and i have 500 miles on my fit yay!!!

 

All of you people with your list of cars and under 30! I'm 27 and this will be my 3rd: 88 beretta gt (don't let it fool you, 0-60 in about 12secs), 94 s-10 (13-15mpg), and at the end of June my first new silver mt sport fit!

 

At 62 I am probably one of the oldest teenagers in the crowd. I bought the Fit based on Honda's reputation for reliability, it's style and gas milage. If I want to go fast, I use my Ford Lightning (400 + HP), if I want to cruise, I use my 56 Ford Fairlane, if I want to zip around town, go to work or the market, I use the Fit. It is probably the best automotive buy I have made in recent times. I have a white base model with automatic (Wife's requirement).
Does anyone know of a wing or air deflector to keep the back window clean when driving in bad weather?

This is my first entry on the website, keep it informative and fun, no need to knock anyone, even if you do think the other person is a nerd.

 

The rear wiper/washer should keep the rear window clean. Don't really need an air deflector.

 

to satisfy DRum's need for accuracy. my Fit is of course an '07 model' . As a matter of interest why do they do that? Seems really stupid to me, a bit like publishing a July magazine issue in May. Oh right they do that too, but how would a simple Brit understand how the complex workings of the American socio-economic system works. Though I guess it's confusing that while the rest of the world does day/month/year here we mostly do month/day/year, (except for some government agencies who seem to randomly reassort the order). I can understand how this leads to confusion about months and years and stuff. but why is North America the only place where a pint only has 16 fluid ounces instead of 20? not only does it lead to confusion when comparing US, British and Aussie fuel economy figures for Fit's and Jazz's but it also leads to great disappointment when ordering pints of bitter in British Pubs over here. Sort of a let down.

 

28. I wish I could have three cars at the same time:

Keeping my 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan, and add
a 2006 Mazda MX-5 and
a 2007 Honda Fit Sport

 

i am not surprised that there is a good number of "older" people driving the fit, but i am surprised that there are 22 people on this forum in the 60+ age group. a lot of the folks i know in that age range dont even want to touch a computer

anyway, i dont have my fit yet, so i do not know how annoying the back window gets in the weather. have you tried applying rain-x? they also make an anti fog application which put on the inside(i believe), if that is a problem.

 

Hey we have the same B-Day!

I'm 26, but I'll be 27 by time my Fit arrives!

 

32 in November.ugh

 

Well I'm 29 and this will be my 4th vehicle. I have 2 right now

'91 Ford Escort GT 95-99
'97 Eagle Vision Tsi 99-Current(be rid of POS soon)
'83 F-150 4x4 April 05-Current(pulls boat, hauls stuff, winter, etc)
'07 Fit 06-Should have it in August

Once I drop the Eagle, I'll be back to 2 vehicles. Everything but the Eagle is/was a stick shift, and once I get the Fit everything will be a stick again!!!

That's my car history; after I bought my truck, I was thinking of doing the buy a $1500 junker every 3 yrs, then I saw the fit and the versatility won me over.

 

wow... I feel good.. I was 18 the day I got the car, the next day I was 19.. so at 18 I had my first brand new car off the lot

First truck.. was a 91' Ford Ranger 5spd
Second Car 98' Cavalier RS auto
3rd Car 04' Suzuki AerioSX 5spd
4th NEW car 07' Honda Fit 5spd

 

the stock one for the sport model does a very good job IMO.. i like it alot except for dust.. cant avoid it

 

Im 21 and hopefully ill be gettin the fit soon its been a long wait.

97 dohc neon sport
2000(current) accord se

 

20 and under.... i'm 16.

 

So much for demographics! I`m 76 and have a red Fit base,but I was only 75 when I got it in April.

 

my wife thinks I'M 12 but I feel at least 18..my kid are still unsure..my goal is to still be semi kewl when my oldest is 18....gotta live a little..

 

49 for a few more months. Perhaps my Fit (ordered 4/19) will arrive before I turn 50.

Previous transportation vehicles:
my own two feet, 10 speed bicycles and public transit until age 24 when I got my driv lic

1972 Ford F-250 pickup with camper top, built hell for stout but gas pig to da max, devoured fuel pumps like popcorn, and replacement hvydty parts always cost extra. Lived out of this for 4 years as field archeologist in western US. Owned 1981-94

1982 Ford Escort, bought in '85, this piece of junk got better mpg than the F-250 but cost nearly as much to maintain. Discarded when I purchased . . .

1987 Toyota Tercel Wagon. First car purchased new, wish they still made these. A LOT like the Honda Civic wagon of similar vintage, for which there have been many songs of praise on this forum. Still driving it today w/248k and no AC(!)--got 31 mpg on last tank-- but it will be retired if my Fit EVER gets here.

1994 Ford Ranger. Gotta have a pickup truck if you live out in the country especially in TX.

 

When this poll is done, you should take it off the internet and sell it to Honda. I bet they would pay big for statistics on what the average buyer age is set up in a poll with out doing research.$$$

 

26 old timers eh? nice to see that wide range of people in the Fit.
