34 years old.
Just wanted a simple and reliable DD that can do the occasional kid hauling.

My "fun" car is a boosted 2002 IS300. The wife has a 2005 WRX. I traded a 2006 Sequoia Limited for the Fit. While I LOVED the Sequoia, it wasn't a practical DD as I was the only one driving it 95% of the time (in which I was alone). I bought it at a time where I had a larger household (4 grown people in the house, 2 X 80lbs dogs, and a newborn) so it fit the bill. Our household has since gone down to just the wife, my daughter, and myself. The Fit was a good...fit (pun definitely intended).

Previous cars:
2006 Lancer Evolution XIII
2003 Track Edition 350Z
2003 G35 Sedan
1996 Honda Civic hatchback (CX)
2001 Lexus IS300
2005 Jetta GLI
2002 Nissan SE-R Spec V
1992 Honda hatch (fully built B18C1 swap, cage, the works)
1992 Honda Civic Si
1994 Nissan Maxima
1995 Mitsubishi Galant

turning 30 this year, gone from a 500hp mitsubishi rvr (i think you guys in USA have chariots rebadged) to a jazz with about a poofteenth of power but loving the fuel economy that goes with the lack of oomph haha

The FIT replaced am M3? Im 58 and my FIT replaced a 2004 Accord Coupe V6 6spd with some suspension mods. Still on therapy,but I'll get over it ,,I hope. JJ

Maybe not the target demo?

56-year-old male here, 2012 Fit owner as of yesterday. Blue Raspberry, too, so I can channel my inner 22-year-old woman. Wife owns a CRV; I did have an 01 Civic until a deer decided to stealth bomb my car while I was going 60 mph on a rural highway. Damage was greater than value.

Love the Fit; learning to love the color, but choices were severely limited where I am. On the upside, I'll never lose it in a parking lot.

I see plenty of people my age driving them .. usually they have small children, but I don't. And old people. Sometimes young people, but I don't actually LIVE in an area where there are a lot of young people!

I'm 30. Saying that makes me feel old. Younger in my head :P

33 here - 2012 Fit Sport w/navi.

Definitely a change from my prior cars with much more power, but at this point in my life it wasn't worth keeping/paying for them. Decided to get something with zero payments and save for a while. Just moved to Southern California ~6 months ago after living in Central New Jersey all my life. Love it here, and love the Fit. Plan to keep this thing for 300K miles.

52 years old got a Milano Red really limited on color choice when it came to buying a Fit Sport with manual transmission. Looking to drop it on Eibach springs this weekend.

Sadly that is true. I think I am doing quite well vs others in my generation but I just bought my first house and new car. Very sad vs people's expectations on life in my parents generation.

I'm 68. My daughter is 32. We both have them. Other vehicles we own are a 99 Jimmy, a 98 Blazer, and an 05 Colorado. My daughter also has a 96 Blazer. We have owned lots of GM, Toyotas, 2 Fords, and 1 Honda in the past. Oh yes, I also own a 1976 GMC motorhome and one Grumman airplane. I just sold off a 1946 Cessna 140.

So N9CV was assigned to one of the airplanes? JJ

Nice guess but wrong. It was an old ham radio call that now belongs to someone else.

This topic would make for an interesting Poll so that we could see a summary.
