This is my 5th Honda product. I currently have an '06 TL as well. I was in the market for an urban commuter (changed jobs). The requirements were this: gas mileage, cargo room, reliability, safety, and nav.

I was looking at Scions merely for price. As much as I liked the XB the Fit was well... a perfect fit for me. I thoroughly enjoy this car and will probably keep it until the wheels fall off. I decided on an '09 SS Sport 5AT w/nav. It may be my favorite Honda? I have only noted two drawbacks. I realize it is an economy car, but an outside temp gauge and the R18 (due to the modest power output and acceleration) from the Civic would be a welcome addition to a possible Fit SI?? Bluetooth wouldn't hurt either. Other then that I can't fault this car at all.

My TL will be paid off in under 24 months and my girlfriend drives it more then I do lol. Since she now pays for half of that car I don't mind keeping it and me driving it on the weekends.

Like her, the Fit is a keeper and I am very glad I found one. I never thought I'd own two automatics and a non-white car (I wanted TW though SS is really growing on me), but I guess that's life lol.

This seems like a great site as well!

 

It's good that you like the fit Congrats! enjoy the fit and welcome aboard.

 

Welcome to the board. I was on the same boat when I was looking for a new car. I test drove the XB but I still went with the Fit. I like both but what got me is the flat floor of the Fit when rear seats are folded down and the refresh mode!

 

Hmmm...don't hold your breath for a Fit Si.

Otherwise welcome to the boards

 

I test drove the Sicon XD - even with more hp - I still purchase the FIT Sport instead... now for me catching up all the reading on this forum on all related topics...
