Popeye, did you ever decide to get the Fit or not?

 

I can't get the wife to warm up to it .........besides I want white 5sp Sport and there is none within 100 miles

I'm sure they will be plentyfull by Spring

 

what is it your wife won't warm up to? it's a fun car, and it's roomy and cheap. can't beat that. good luck with the search for your color and transmission choice. it seems like it's hard to find any at the moment. hope you're right about spring time.

 

She says it reminds her of an Element that was left in the dryer too long

I think they're cool

 

haha. nice.

 

can't decide on base or sport. I got a "sport toyota matrix" and could not drive it in snow because of the sport fat tires. so I worry about the snow in clevland area.I do not care about audio or paddle shifters and seldom use cruse. However I do want auto entry/lock. any suggestions?

 

I dont think the tires on the sport are that much wider than the base. and you can always get different tires for winter, that's what I do. We had a pretty mild winter last year so you can always be optimistic. As far as the auto entry/lock goes, I believe you can get that installed on a base model. Not sure of the price/difficulty, but it can be done. So if you wanted to go that route it is possible. Either way, it's a great car. I really enjoy mine. Welcome to the club and congrats on your pick.

 

WHITE, I thought Black was the only color car I would ever see popeye in! The dark side man!

 

white is sexy though. it will look nice beside the black s2k.

 

I want one car that I don't have to wash every other day

 

wait... and that color is white?

 

Well, compared to black, he's right, I think....

i always thought those were the worst two colors? never owned either so i guess i can't really comment too much.

 

I've been surprised by how good white looks until you get very close. White can handle quite a bit of dirt before it looks bad. Never owned one before, but I've been paying attention.....

White, believe it or not, looks cleaner than most cars that are equally dirty!

 

Besides the plan is to cosmetically a Type-R with white wheels,red bucket seats and badges and the rear wing

 

Well Marysville Honda has a white/black auto sport now ;but I want the manual

 

FINALLY - 179 days after ordering and putting down a deposit, I have my Silver Sport 5-speed! Got it at Roush in Westerville. So far, so good. Haven't had time to prod & poke at all the do-dads yet. Traded in my 97 RAV4.

Wow, the FIT is soooooo quiet! I think I'm going to like it a lot.

Congratulations, and enjoy the Fit!

 

congrats on finally being an owner. that is a really long wait. i hope you got the kind you wanted. it'd be hell if you wanted another one and had to wait again. lol.
