Once again a fit thread

As the other poster said, owners of fits love them... but there are a lot of serious Fit haters here that will happily tell you its crap because it cant beat a Ferrari in a strait line. Go drive one. My advise, go drive one back to back with its competitors and then make a decision that Fits your needs. I would almost suggest spending the extra money on the new Honda hybrid though. I would have probably went that route myself if it were out.

I'm happy with my 09 Fit Sport A/T as DD even though I don't drive it much...i always end up hopping in the s2k lol

Couple things I like are that there's lots of room/ ways to configure the seats, it's got some pep to it, and since it's got paddle shifters, I can flick one and downshift to go up hills or drop a gear to corner more aggressively. Also, the Sport models come with rear spoiler and sideskirts/foglights. The blue gauges look really nice at night too. Overall, I'm satisfied with the car, and it makes a good companion to the s2000.

I owned two of them and did a full season of autocross in one. It is really a fun car to drive, but in the end, it made more sense to just pick up a 1991 Civic Dx and get the same or better gas mileage.

^That's what I've been telling people. Spend $16K less and get 90% of the car by purchasing a Honda that's 20 years older.

But...

The 20 year old car you might be lucky to get to last 5 more years and the Fit will last you 25 years.
