Hey all dont put the hate out for me. After 2 months of research and much thought. I went out and purchased a new vehicle. I went with a 06 NightHawk Black Pearl - Si instead of the Fit. The MPG debate and after many different test drives I was sold on the Si. The fit is nice and is a whole lotta car for the money but for a few dollars more I got a pure sports car. The Si has the room that I need as the trunk is spacious, the performance is awesome and I have personally seen a 300 whp Si motor in Natural Aspirated form. Oneissue also was never being able to find a Fit to purchase, while the Si is not easy to find you can find one if you are creative. So sorry "Fitters" but I am completely satisfied with my NBP Si. Take a look see and tell me what you think. P.S. after 300 miles I'm getting an Honest 28 MPG, with 100% A/C and 75% city driving, I'm definately gonna get 30 MPG on my daily commute to work..Yippy....

congrats on the car man

 

looks great! I wish I could have afforded the Si...what is the price difference in the US? It is over $6000 up here and are hard to find, so no breaks from the dealers either :(

 

That looks sweet!

 

Great decision on the new car! I'm sure you'll be happy with it, have fun!

 

Nice car, if you dont need the hatch and 4doors, why not? :)

 

I would much rather have that car than a fit. Actually there are a lot of cars I would rather have, but I am getting the fit for the utility purposes. Nice car, looks awsome.

 

Cool Car :).

Yeah, I have to admit, even though I was looking for really great gas mileage, if I didn't have a 10 month old that I have to drop off at daycare a couple days a week, I would have added an Si to the fleet.

Luckily, I still have my 97 del Sol VTEC for days that I am alone and want to rip it up a bit.

The Si is a beauty. I thought about waiting for the Si sedan, but eventually price and the love of hatchbacks made me get the Fit. A friend of mine got an Si last week...I can't wait to check it out.

 

I heard the sound of that car is unbelievable in person... that's also a damn good handling car you got there. it won the thunderhill races when it just came out and check out what vtec.net says about it: "This is the sort of road that it was built for and there wasn't a car on the road this day that could keep up with it. In fact, there weren't many motorcycles that could keep up either."

 

"pure sport car". i wouldnt go that far. but nice ride. that picture is trippy though with the clouds reflecting off the car.

 

Oooh, nice ride! That was sitting in the showroom when I picked up my Fit. I just needed something else. They are totally two different cars. Have fun! :)

 

I'm sure it's nice - but apples and oranges.... If only there were a 4 dr hatchback version - i'd be on it!

 

If I would have a civic, it would had to be an si. But here, my fit was $17,300 USD, and the si was $25,900 so that leave me with no choice.

P/D I am very happy with the Fit!!!!!


CONGRATS!!!!

 

Congrats!

btw, you mileage will improve once the engine breaks in ;)

 

I saw one parked at Fry's last weekend, and it looked awesome. Congratulations!
Did you get the Nav?

 

Don't apologize I almost got an SI...and my brother may be getting one..so I may have to steal it every once and a while. I love that car!

 

No didnt get the Navi....I at first wanted the Habenero Red, but it was sols out from underneath me while I was filling ou the paperwork...AArrgg...I went across town to a different Dealership, Sera Honda Birmingham...they had a NBP and it was mine after the test drive. Thanx guys for all the encouragements, in all honesty if a dealer had had a Silver 5 speed Fit Sport then I would be a Fit owner, couldnt find one in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, anywhere in the southeast so I said it was not meant to be. The Si was.....but I am so looking forward to a K20 powered Fit of the future..

You must deserve this car because it is not any thing like a fit... My self any many I have talked to make list.The car that matched my list the most was the Fit. Its like what some one already said. apples and oranges. I like em both. So I like to ask if you dont mind? do you have any buyers remorse? I ahve seen so many people that make car payments and dont event like or fit the car they bought... so true. I feel 100% with the fit.

 

unfortunately, I have buyer's remorse for my fit only because I couldn't wait to get one and got an AT. otherwise I love my fit :)
