I think I'm in love

I'm better now.
Anyone else feelin the same? Feel free to let it all out. It's okay.

I know how you feel!
I've only had my new Fit for 5 days, but there is nothing I don't like about it.
I can't think of any other car I'd rather drive.
I know that I'll like it even more with time because I loved my other Fit too. At 55K+ miles it was still great.
A couple of friends have looked at it and said they like the looks, kind of reminds them of a Prius.

Ya, it's not perfect for me...the only thing that is disappointing is the braking power - even under heavy effort the stopping power is weak, which could be dangerous. I'm soon going to upgrade the pads to at least improve this. Still, I ain't complainin. I'm glad I made the decision to switch from my Accord.

I'd recommend some Steel Braided brake lines. It was a great improvement for braking power. You can modulate much easier.

edmunds' instrumented testing showed that it probably has a bit to do with tires, as they are less grippy and skinnier than the gd3's. that alone could do worlds.

i'm trying my best to keep the fit in tiptop shape so i can hand it to my son as his first car. After i pay it off in a few years, i'll start the modding starting with the wheels and springs but i'm in no rush since my son won't turn 16 for 14 more years.
But i love this car for its gas consumption, compact but lots of room, easy to drive, and low maintenance.

I've owned 4 Porsches, 2 Corvettes, a BMW M3, a RX-7 Twin Turbo and.....(OK that was before we adopted our 2 girls from China)
I love the Fit just as much as some of the best other cars I have owned. It is a sports car in a way and it is also a do everything Swiss Army Knife!
Plus it is a marvel of frugality. I really like that A LOT! I want as little of my fuel money to get in the hands of Radical Islamic Fundamentalists as possible.
Some might say it rides rougher and is a little noisier than a 'normal car'.
But hell, I ride snowmobiles and motorcycles for fun and to me the Fit is perfect.
LOL the bad part is I havent driven it in a week and a half. Too much snow and salt so I have been driving the Murano. 8-12 inches tonight (that is what she said.......)

The Fit is the first new car I've ever bought myself, just for me, and I'm really enjoying it. Sure, we bought a Civic for combined use, and an Odyssey for family, but the Fit Sport is MY car, and the Fit base is my wife's car.
The car makes me feel like I did as a kid, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm driving it in a more immature manner than I ought to. It's just too fun, to flickable, and can thread its way though traffic way too easily. I really need to tone it down and grow up.
I've braked to the limit, and it's obvious how easy it'd be to outdrive the capability of the brakes.
I really like the car. I get in, open my giant sunroof, crack a rear window, get a bunch of tunes off the usb drive in the glovebox, and off I go. I'm just lucky it's not any faster or I'd be in BIG trouble.

I do love my Fit, but about 8 months before I bought it, it was time to buy a new vehicle for either me or my wife. We had a budget of ~$40,000 and I REALLY wanted a BMW 135. Went to the dealer and asked if they were coming to the States, she said no. I asked four or five more times, always a resolute no. So I went over to Honda and got my second choice, an 07 Ridgeline. Eight months later when it came time to buy my car (Ridgeline stolen by wife), lo and behold, the 135 is in stock at BMW. Now I don't have enough for it, and I am NOT allowed to trade the Ridge. So I get the Fit. It wasn't a second choice, after we got my wife her truck I continued to lust over the Fit and finally got it last November. I was fortunate enough to get one of two BOM Fits that were in stock at the Anchorage dealer. I love my Fit. If I had gotten the 135 I would still have a Fit. But damn, I want a twin turbo straight six.
