New forum member. Howdy.
I picked up my silver Sport about three weeks ago. I ordered a manual tranny and had to wait for about six weeks before it showed up. I wanted the Tafetta White, but I needed the car so I told my salesmen that I'd take anything other than purple, orange or red.
I love the car. Everything I need and very little I don't. I'm pleased with the handling, acceleration and braking, although they could all stand to be improved. A nice lightweight set of wheels like the Volk T1s with some good rubber should improve the braking and handling, some suspension upgrades are in order, and an intake/catback would offer a more pleasing induction growl/exhaust note although any noticeable performance gains will probably be negligible.
Sweet little car! I've fallen in love.

I picked up my silver sport AT Wednesday Nov. 5th, in Bangor. It's a terrific little car and I really appreciated the education I received on this Forum prior to my purchase. I was able to save a lot of money on the extended warranty and I learned from many posts on here, that the '09 had features not available on the '08 model which I first tested out in the early summer. It is definately worth the wait! Again thanks to all who share useful information about Honda Fits so freely!

Picked up a TW on tuesday, love it. I used to have a 99 3.2TL. I am enjoying the great MPG and the use of regular fuel.

Nov 6, 2008 picked up my first Honda.
Black Fit, DX-A, MT... Added the rear tailgate spoiler, USB adapter, Fit all season floor mats and trunk liner.
I'm already thinking about trading in my Fit and a new one in a few years I love it that much!

hey climatologist, don't know about the rims but love your quotes...one reason I'm going back for another degree! And a big reason I got a new Fit is because of my concern for climate and the environment...my '99 Acura TL got only 22-25 MPG and the new Fit is getting 38-40 MPG, plus it's a ULEV so my carbon footprint is smaller too! I think every new vehicle sold in US should be REQUIRED to have the MPG gauge so everyone could see how and what they're driving affects fuel consumption...if every American drove a car/truck that got 30+ MPG we won't have to invade any more oil rich countries!!!

Picked up my (wife's) '09 Orange Sport A/T last night. Seems ok so far, (she's not really a fan...)
