Am I alone in this, or did Honda really blow this engineering detail? When the cruise control is engaged on my Fit, it generates an electrical noise that absolutely wipes out any AM signal on the radio! I know they targeted this car to a demographic that mostly doesn't know what AM radio is, but we old farts (who also use iPods and other MP3 players) are buying the cars, too.

I never have paid MSRP for a Honda and this goes back to the '80s when they along with Toyota were really the only imports of choice. Though this market is very competitive with a lot of Honda dealers including one I previously purchased from who gave a good deal on a very in demand vehicle so you never know.

Replying to: dtownfb (Dec 04, 2006 6:25 pm) I had a chat about it with my sales rep (a new guy who needs a good review from me to Honda, as does the dealership, as it just changed hands) yesterday, and he promised to look for answers. When I go in Friday for the cargo cover, I'll show it to the repair techs and see what they think.

Replying to: drive62 (Dec 04, 2006 5:36 pm) Considering that the difference between MSRP and invoice is only about $600, even if you paid 1/2 between invoice and MSRP you're only out $300. If the Fit is what you really want, it seems silly to me to buy another car just so you don't pay MSRP, especially if you end up paying a higher overall price for the other vehicle (eg. Paying under invoice for a Civic but still pay $17K). I think it would make more sense to figure out which vehicle meets your needs and then compare the overall price you'll pay for the two vehicles to see which one is the better value. I paid the MSPR $16,500 for my Fit Sport Auto, so I compared that to what else was out there for $16,500 that had everything the Fit had and for me, the only other option was the Versa but it wasn't available with ABS in the CVT form. The Matrix, Civic, Corolla, and other small cars all had things about them I didn't like, regardless of the price, so for me buying another small car at a less-than-MSRP price wouldn't be worth it...for me it would be sort of like buying a brand "X" suit for $300 because it was 50% off ( because "I always buy suits on sale"), although the suit I really liked the best (brand "Y") cost $280 but that was full price...I'd rather pay for the full-priced $280 suit that I really liked then $300 for the 50% off suit.

Replying to: w9cw (Dec 04, 2006 4:24 pm) The air filter part number is 49086, but this is still technically an invalid number as it has not yet been announced through an official new part number release. So if you have any problems with an air filter for your Fit from a Wix box, as of right now, don't blame me  By the way I am not affiliated with Wix (or NAPA). I work for an automotive parts distributor/retailer operation. Though I do like the Wix products  Hope this helps those looking for oil filters.

Replying to: arkainzeye (Dec 06, 2006 5:46 am) OK, question....if you buy the filters in bulk and bring one in for your oil changes, do they charge you less for bringing your own filter?
