I love the glass roof - and the kids love it even more I have yet to try it in very hot sunshine, but I guess it will need to be closed to keep the heat out!

Wow, glass roof! Is that a factory or dealer installed option?

I believe the glass roof option is only available in certain markets (Europe/Asia). I wish we in North America/Canada has that option...

Blackberry Pearl 09 sport A/T on 7/3/09. Already over 1200 miles on this baby! (Drove almost 1000 this weekend alone.) Love the suspension, paddle shifters, and all the features, really nothing major to complain about for this price point. Sure beats my old '98 Camry (not that it wasn't a good car.... but I affectionately named it "granny" for a reason...).

Shopped around for a while and came close to the '10 Mazda3, but I felt that the Honda Fit was the more practical choice (hatchback FTW). Plus, visibility was MUCH better with the Fit (which is important to me).

No pics yet, but you guys already know what it looks like.

Angry Vulnerable condenser

Bought a Sport with Navi. Love the car until...after driving only 3 weeks a rock took out the condenser. See other posts about the vulnerable design to road debris. Dealership replaced at no charge (still had dealer plates for goodness sakes) but I was first told it was not covered by warranty. Honda needs a recall on this design flaw.

Just bought a 09 red Fit Sport. With Indiana state sales tax of 7%, the OTD price was 18,330 (and they threw in window tinting on all windows except the winshield). Huge step up from my 96 Geo Metro. :-)

Anxiously waiting finalization of Cash for Clunkers. My 09 Sport M/T in BBP awaits the $4500 GOVERNMENT down payment on the 23rd. Sad to see my 1999 Rodeo 4X4 go, but the deal is too good to pass up. I loved the car and all the storage space. Couldn't believe my 6'5" frame seems to fit comfortably Can only hope this forum is half as good as the Miata forum, from what I've read so far, it is.

Good price! I got mine for $30 over invoice, but it was still more like 19,500 after 5% tax and stupid unregulated "documentation" fees. I at least got them to throw in some optional stuff to offset the "standard" fee.

Same here, did my deal tonight. 09 Fit Sport Storm Silver MT. $17,800 with tax and "title doc" fees (told them I'd pay the $230 for the Mugen short shifter if they'd install no charge, they are looking into that , service dept was closed, so they couldn't find out how much the labor would be).

Barring the government ****ing up the Cash For Clunkers rules that are supposed to be finalized Friday, I'm picking it up Monday. Getting $4500 for my 92 F-150 that I'd be lucky to get $600 for made it an easy choice. It'll be nice to go from 14 mpg to well over 30mpg.

For what it's worth, when I was talking to my dealer today he was saying it'll be August 1 before they can process any of the Cash for Clunker sales because they have to wait for the gov't to mail the vouchers. Wouldn't count on picking up a car on Monday with that. :/

Signed all the papers today and my Fit will be registered and ready for pickup tomorrow! I can't wait.

re Clunkers

T don't know abou Aug 1 but my salesman called this AM to set up sale for tomorow. We'll see what happens. Keep you fingers crossed. I cleaned ten years worth of junk out today and put a set of ratty tires back on. Pulling out CD in morning. Till then I remain cautiously optimistic.

I've still got about 15 gallons to burn off, but I'll probably run a load of firewood out to my brother's this weekend. I'd love to drop the F150 off with virtually empty tanks.

Who knows. Hyundai was giving out the C4C's on July 1st, and then stopped. All 3 dealers I went to seemed pretty certain this was going to get rolling this weekend, and all had at least 10 - 12 deals already lined up waiting for the rules to come out tomorrow.

I think if they get the final rules, and know the program is happening, they'll do the deal. Positive waves.
