Replying to: dgs4 (Jan 24, 2009 9:55 pm) You and I are certainly in the Fit demographic. I'm 42, make over $60K, but don't want to spend over $20K on a car, want good gas mileage & utility, & a little fun, too. Interesting car, the Fit... big appeal to the 20's tuner crowd (see fitfreak.com), and big appeal to Gen-X and Boomers looking to scale down. I'm in agreement with you on price. I will pay MSRP on my Fit Sport MT, mainly because I'm out of the country and don't want to spend the time getting dealer down another $300 - $600. I have had success in the past on more expensive cars, especially with the luxury of living in the town and being able to walk out of the dealership. Glad to hear you're enjoying the car. I am looking forward to it. I have good memories of my 89 Civic Si hatchback and 99 Civic hatchback... looking forward to that lightweight tossable manual transmission hatchback again. Also agree on a real sunroof. They are available, saw a nice power sunroof install on one site, temple of vtec or fitfreak. Not sure how much it costs, but was very OEM looking. Enjoy your Fit! Cheers. Lee

Replying to: dgs4 (Jan 26, 2009 11:53 pm) since you mentioned that additional storage was a consideration, i should point out that the compartment in the optional armrest is quite small. it looks much larger online. i can fit my garmin gps, a bottle of asprin, and a pack of gum in it...and that's about it! i don't regret adding it, but i wish it had a larger compartment.

Replying to: siarizona (Jan 27, 2009 2:54 am) Yes, I think America is turning around and it's going to be about saving money, and living within your means. Small, inexpensive, save, fuel efficient vehicles like the Honda Fit are right in with that way of living. I own a Hyundai Sonata and a Fit and they were both inexpensive (relative to my salary) cars and I love them both. My payments combined on the two vehicles are less than most people pay on the typical $40K + vehicle. I have absolutely no need to impress anyone with the car I drive, so I don't need to spend obscene amounts of money on a BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus like most of my co-workers and friends drive. All I know is when gas is back up to $5 a gallon this summer I will be quite relieved to own a car like the Fit. Honda has a homerun with this car and I know it's only going to get better. I'm sure eventually when Honda realizes people like you and I would be willing to pay for it, will offer features like a moonroof, autodimming rearview mirror, heated seats, etc. Honda has to understand not everyone buying a Civic or a Fit these days is a broke college kid. Well as one forty something to another, best of luck on your new car, and post back after you get it. |

" Well that stinks!! You're absolutely right, it does look much larger on line. The Fit already has a driver side armrest that works just fine for me. I really wanted the accessory armrest for the storage. Which reminds me I still haven't heard back from the dealership to see if they'll even install it. Well no biggie, if they're willing to install I'll still take it, but like you I do wish it was bigger. |

Hi everybody, a question for you about negotiations with Honda dealers over the net: I sent out some feelers on a Fit Sport Auto w/Nav & VSA and received a nice initial quote from one of 5 dealers I requested from (18,500, not OTD). I would like to shoot this offer to the other dealers to see what i can get from them, but I'm not certain what the protocol is. It seems to me that the other dealers will not take my word for it... I assume they will ask for documentation, so how should I handle this over email. In person, this is simple-just show them the documents. But in this situation should I forward the low quote email, or what? Any advice from you veterans is much appreciated. Thank you

I just get my 09 new Fit sport with $18050 out of door. It has already 35 mile on it. Is it normal? The dealer told me it is normal and the car was there for about 2 months. I bought a new car 2 years ago with only 9 miles on it. So I am not sure if this is ok....

A car with 35 miles on the odo is nothing to get worried about. They probably did a dealer swap to get you this particular car or someone else might've test drove it. Don't get all shook up about this. As long as everything works properly...you should be fine. Just enjoy the new ride! The Sandman
