2008 - first car 12 year old mitsubishi mirage 1.6L.

2013 - first new car Honda Fit/Jazz 1.5 i-vtec

 

35/f. i see mostly women and young folks driving them in my area. i wanted something more youthful and that's why i was drawn to FIT - vibant colors and modern styling

 

I'm 27 Male,
I just recently bought a 2009 Honda Fit Sport my previous cars were a 2001 Honda Civic LX and a 2002 Honda Civic SI.

 

43 female, purchased 2012 fit base as my first new car.

Previous cars were all used. (My late father had a knack with repairing & maintaining used cars, but my boyfriend and I are clueless.)

So far I am very happy with it, although I regret not getting that rear spoiler on the fit sport.

But what I would want the most is some way to add rear and side cameras with dash display. I wonder if there are any aftermarket options?

 

I'm one of those old (young) ladies, 57, and rowing gears.

got a great deal on a 2009 fit sport auto trans used with 26k miles for $11,500.
Cars before that
Toyota Corolla
Toyota tercel
1987 Datsun (yes, that's right - car below got stolen and I bought a this because it was cheaper than renting while looked for another car and moved)
Toyota Cressida
VW Passat
Nissan (can't remember)
Chevy Malibu

Love the Fit. Only things I don't like are the low "skirt" (or whatever you call the body molding) and the usb issues. And the high price of rear seat covers (but that is obviously cause of the magic seat) The other little things (I am not getting 37 mpg) I don't mind.

 

I don't like the the lower body parts either.. That stuff limits where you you are able to go and is a pain to keep reattaching every time you drive up some driveways or enter some parking lots and knock something loose.. Welcome to the Funny Farm known as Fit Freak..

 

My wife drives the car and she is 53. We have owned since new in May of 2006. She wanted a Vespa but with two kids and a dog a Vespa just wouldn't work. She saw the Fit commercial and said, that's what I want.

1967 Impala (Loved this car but spent as much time under the hood as in the driver seat. Caught fire twice; once electrical, once carburetor. Stuck float or something.)
1971 Saab 99 (bet there isn't a single one left running—wife said most comfortable car to wait for a tow truck in)
1976 Vega
1979 Monte Carlo (Poor car)
1980 Cutlass (Really poor car)
1984 Firenza (Unbelievably poor car. It was shot with about 65,000 miles on it. Fortunately I got hit and it was totaled. Last GM car I bought as a daily driver.)
1989 626 (Drove for eleven years. Taught our kids how to drive in it. Wonderful car.)
1989 Grand Am (Head gasket leaked because studs stretched and when that was fixed the head cracked. Paid Salvation Army to tow it and sell it. Last GM car ever. Lots of details they forgot to sweat.)
1990 Miata (Still have it—one of the first ones—all original)
1992 Tempo (Appliance, that's all.)
1993 Mazda Protegé (Nice little car—got rear-ended and totaled.)
1998 Integra GS (Kid souped it up and drag-raced and street raced it. Lots of fun for him. Drove it back home from California and sold it. Got all my modding out of my system on this car. Each tenth of a second improvement at the drag strip cost about $1,000.)
1999 626 (Gave it to older kid when he had to drive back to grad school in Florida over one Christmas. Never got it back. Kept it until 2012.)
2003 TL (Owned eleven years)
2009 Fit
2013 Accord (This is a very nice car—mileage almost as good as our Fit (4 cyl))

What should I get next? If I could find a nice '67 Impala…

Cheers.

 

You must be one of the first fit owners.. I was looking for one from April 2006 until I found one with manual transmission in mid July at Bankston in Lewisville, a 130 mile drive from here.. I had the only one in this area for well over a year..

 

Yes, the dealer, David McDavid of Frisco, had one demonstrator when I went to look at the car the first week in May. He had 4 or so coming in May and we picked one. I took delivery of the car on Memorial Day 2006.

The car just turned 50,000 miles. It's basically the grocery store and take the kids to school and activities vehicle.

 

45 and male. 2010 Black Sport, just bought it a week ago. Was looking for a Mazda 3 Speed and stumbled upon the Fit, drove it liked it and bought it. Primary function for it is hauling around my Trek Crossrip bike.

Other vehicles currently owned are.... 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 with a Cummins diesel that's my money maker with 352,000 miles and a 2001 Jeep Cherokee.

Previous cars, well I lost count a long time ago when it passed 50.

 

I am 54 (for a few more weeks) male 2013 sport AT. This is my first Honda and I am really happy with it. Currently own 2005 scion Xb, Wife inherited it when I picked up the Fit, Also own a 1965 VW Kombi Bus which has been in a time capsule for the last 20+ years going to do a complete restoration when I retire ( 4 years to go) As far as past vehicles too many to list lots of VW's, Fords,Chevys, Mazda's,Toyotas, Dodges and 1 Renault that was one too many.

 

I had a second hand first gen 2005 Fit back in 2007 which honestly i never worried too much effort about DIYing, but when I got this 2nd gen 2011 Fit ( i was 35 years old) i started DIY and not sure if will change this car at all!!!!
