I went over 600 miles yesterday. Now that break in is finally over, I drove into work this morning on the freeway. At 80mph, the Fit is just as quiet, and maybe even more quiet, than my Solara. It was a nice ride.

 

Congrats on the 600th mile!
I got like 200+ to go but its okay I'll get there very soon

 

You didn't get up to 80 during the break-in? Main break-in rules for engines nowadays are just no hard accelerating or breaking, and to downshift when breaking. After all, 80 in fifth is the same as 15 in first, no?

 

Maybe the same RPM, but the load is alot different.

 

break-ins are for pussies and lawyers. And lawyer pussies.

 

In the manual, the break in doesn't refer to RPM or speed. It just says first 600 miles, don't acc or brake too quickly. I have been driving on the freeweay already; i just don't accelerate too fast.

 

I'm just about to cross the 600 mile mark myself...

 

i think im at 478 miles. fshwcrs is at 1400+ miles. only had his fit for a lil over a week.

 

I will hit the 1000 mile mark tomorrow. I have had mine for about 9 days.

It is very unusual for me to drive less than 1400 per week, so I should start racking up the miles soon. It just happened that I had to travel for two days and four of the remainder of the 9 were weekend days.

Now I am sitting here trying to figure out how exactly I was able to put 1000 on!

 

i just got back from stater bros and just realized i hit 601 already when i got home from work.

 

about to hit the 600 mark to!!!

 

I am at 653 and I get my windows tinted tomorrow. Every mile is a pleasure with this car, it is alot of fun to drive and for a 1.5 L it moves pretty good just keep the revs up a little.

 

...and living in their parents' basement is for jeebus pussies.

I think I hear your mom calling you for dinner.

 

Well at least we are all driving the crap out of these cars lol...

 

I finally was able to play with the paddle shifters today.... WOW!!!!

 

I hit the 1,00 mark on the way to work! I've been pushing my Fit on the highway and it doesn't mind at all. Get a little annoyed at cars that ride alongside so the driver can stare at the car.

 

I had a guy on a motorcycle follow alongside for a mile or so, checking out the car yesterday. I didn't mind until I needed to change lanes. He kept matching my speed to look at the car, and I finally honked at him to let me over. He waved and sped off.

 

should have raced him...j/k it was a joke!!!

 

No.
