11 months, 10,500 miles, one happy Fit owner.

I've been with my '09 Fit Sport M/T since July 23rd, 2009 and I have nearly nothing to complain about. Though I do have a few gripes.

First, those friggin foglamps. One of mine has shattered clean through and the other has a hairline fracture. Honestly, of all the things to make a lense of for a foglamp that sits that low to the ground, glass? I'm not really in a financial position to replace it, but I will try to sandwich a sheet of lexan in there until I can replace it with a proper new foglamp and that rubbery stuff I've seen mentioned a few times here to put over the lense.

Second, paint sucks. It scratches easy, and I've had to touch up two places on the car. Whatever, it is an economy car after all.

Negativity aside, this has been one fantastic car. I get tons of compliments, people have said it looks more expensive than it really is, I've had fellow Fit-sters donate parts to me and I love the sound the car makes when it goes over 5,000 RPM.

For being my first car that I own and is truly mine, I don't think I could have picked a better car and I don't ever want to part with it. That is, unless Honda releases an Si trim.

Mine is a 08 and one of my fog lights has a crack as well. But just like u over all i love this car. Its funny how to some people think it has a cheap interior. I think its really nice compared to my old s2k. The only gripe i have with mine is crappy paint but that is to be expected. Any mods in mind for youres

Vash (and others)--just buy you some protective film.

I got mine precut from headlightarmor.com but there are vendors on here as well.

It was pretty much the easiest thing I've done on my car and mine have no signs of scratch or crack.

Lol 11.5K are the miles I racked up for only 3 months on my crosstour, the very reason I bought the Fit for spring/summer/fall driving. Just hit past 1k on the Fit after 1 week
