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?
 
Yes, they will knock a couple of bucks off your change, but it won't cover the full amount you spent on your filter.

Good points, however the site I used has a difference of $673.01 between invoice and MSRP for the Fit Sport AT. It also has the typical price currently being paid as over MSRP. And that I will NEVER do.
 
But as I said, in my marker there are lots of Honda dealers and some are willing to deal. But even if I can get a decent price (I would agree with you and say about $300 above invoice) availability will probably be an issue. And I don't really like to wait for the vehicle I purchase.
 
There are a few others out there I would consider, most likely the Civic. The smallness of the Fit still concerns me from a safety standpoint as it will be my wife who will be driving and every second car on the road here is a 5000 pound SUV.
 
Boy I do have some car buying peculiarities, don't I

The Civic isn't a bad car, but it feels a lot smaller on the inside (low and cramped feeling) and it's not as versatile as the 4dr hatch Fit. But if a small 4dr sedan fits your needs, then there are a lot of choice out there.

Did anyone else receive an email from Strategic Vision to take a survey concerning the desirability of having a tilt/telescoping steering wheel and seat height adjustment to a forthcoming Fit?

Yes, I did earlier today. I told them the tilt/telescoping steering wheel would be great but the seat height adjustment wasn't really a big deal...

Seat height adjustment broke the initial deal for me because my wife is quite short (5'1") and I am tall. She said No Way! I'm still pondering the Fit since I'll do 90% of the driving anyway.

My wife is 5'3" and I am 6'0", and we are both quite comfortable in our Fit. My wife was pleasantly surprised that she did not feel "floored" in the Fit's seat, despite her height.

I'm considering buying a Fit (basic), and was wondering if anyone can comment on:
1. driving on snowy, icy roads?
2. mountain driving?
(I live in Colorado)
Thanks!

I live in Colorado also, an the FIT (manual transmission) is GREAT in the mountains. Wonderful fun to drive on the small twisty roads. Snow/ice will depend upon your selection of tires - dedicated snow tires will of course be best if you spend a lot of time in those conditions.
