However there are 3 modes to drive it in..... regular drive, 6-speed sport shift, and auto sport shift......

I needed something 4-door, AWD, and with good safety ratings for the family. It helps that its also the best looking american car currently made.

The Vs are absolutely disgusting, my neighbor has one of those and an XLR which is a turd comparied to the V.

My first car in high school was a 1985 mr2 MT in the late 90s. It was a fun car and really reliable, iirc the guy who bought it from me still has it. One day I'll have another .

Hog: sweet car! Early Celicas are on my short list lol

I had a 2005 Ford Escape V6 Limited that I never got to take offroad. Her name was Kathy and she was my pride and joy.


this is the only time that she ever got really dirty when I had her. a snow storm kept me from washing her(i wash my car every Tuesday)





and here she is at the dealership the day she was traded in for Jackie, who is my Fit Sport.


anybody know how well the road salt shows on the Alabaster Silver Metallic? I've never owned a Silver car before and I think it looks cool when cars are either really dirty or really clean. None of that inbetweenness

That is not a fun car.

That and the auto CTS are both boring cars.

how is my Escape a boring car? I had a blast with that car. Road trips left and right. Now I don't go anywhere since I got the Fit.

While the road trips may've been fun, the car itself was not a fun car.

I drove one once, I'll never recover from the spoons I placed in my eyes.

since mine had a V6, it has a great engine note. Sort of sounded like a Nascar car(let me dream, ok?). sure it had vague steering and was kind of slow. but as James May once said, driving a slow car fast is more fun than a fast car fast. driving an SUV fast is even more fun

Yea I loved mine, but I never drove it. I owned it for 10 years and it only had 63k on it. I figured it was time to dump it before the market completely fell out of it. Im getting ready to sell that muctang now too, for the simple reason I dont drive it either. It had 18, yes 18k on it when I bought it 8 years ago and now it has just under 23k.

I took it out today just to get a few rips in before it leaves .

My husband is a Mustang guy (currently owns an MT '05 white Mustang called Lily) and he loves my AT Fit. My Fit is white too but I'm thinking those cars have more in common than paint color?!

My old 2010 Nissan Cube S. Just looking at this pic brought back memories. I sold it about a month before I bought my 2012 Fit Sport. I had lots of fun in this car, road trips to Savannah and New Orleans.. Good times!

I still haven't taken the Fit anywhere further than Atlanta. I need to change that. Time for a road trip.
