I'm the older woman you see driving Fits! 61 yr. old. Just traded my 2013 in for a 2015 - love it! Bart von Fahrt.
My only distinguishing feature is I learned to drive in a 1958 Edsel station wagon..my dad was a mechanic and loved old weird cars.
I've owned a huge number of second hand beaters - VW bugs, Toyota Coronas, Corollas, Dodge Dart slant six, 2 Dodge Colts, a Rambler (? yr.), Mazda station wagon..latest were 86 Honda Accord Hatch with flip up lights,
97 Rav4, 97 Acura Integra.
My first new car was 2013 Honda Fit LX and just traded that in for safety and better mileage reasons for 2015 Honda Fit DX (Canadian). Love the extra bit of power and I'm getting 5.5 litre per 100 km, which is WAY under the predicted 6.4 litre per 100 km. Am going to keep this one for a long time.

I'm 30, and this is my first car!!! (I come from a Toyota family, and have been sharing my boyfriend's (2007?) Honda Civic for past year and a half since I got my driver's license.)
Yes! I agree with you, the 2015 Honda Fit reminds me of a minivan, only, mini. So I call it my mini minivan :-)
I'm not a fan of the shape, but it's such a practical car that I don't care. And it looks beautiful when it is chock full of things that just wouldn't fit well in the 2 door Civic!

56 yrs young. I see a lot of younger people in Fits, but my 20 yr old says it's a "geezer's ride", LOL! Guess that might be my base model in stock condition though, so I'm gonna find some nice low-pro rims & tires first, then add about 2000 watts of smokin' tunes!
Too many previous rides to list, (literally hundreds) but suffice to say there has been lots of air-cooled VWs, vairs and bikes from the 50s, 60s, 70s on up. Currently have 3 other Hondas; '98 Civic, '88 Accord and a '73 CL70 Scrambler.

57
57, I bought my 2007 Sport MT in January of that year. It just flipped 100k miles 2 weeks ago.
My daily commute is 2 miles each way. I'm in warehouse management and once or twice a week I drive to another distribution center, 12 or 23 miles each way.
At least half of my 100k miles are long interstate trips to hiking/backpacking destinations or senior softball tournaments. During the summer & fall most of the local miles are to local leagues 4 nights/week (2 are 40+, 2 are all ages). I still play outfield in all of them, but also some 1st base.
I'm 57, but not dead yet.
