I am sure you all have seen many of these threads but just wanted to say hi and let you know I jumped on the bandwagon. I have owned a 98 Civic and 98 Prelude (both used and manual). Loved Hondas and wanted to stick with them. My civic stayed in the family, hand down to younger brother and I got the prelude. That car was a beast and blast to drive, unfortunately right around 200k the suspension just went away and parts I suppose are next to impossible to find now. I had been wanting a fit since 09 and was thinking about a new car but couldn't get over the hump to do so. The prelude pushed me over the hump and 1 week ago I drove off the lot with a Black Fit Sport (5 speed automatic) with 50 miles. I love it and love finally being a "new" car owner, nice to know you are in control of your cars condition, for the most part. I really wanted a manual trans but couldn't wait a month to get one. I actually have been enjoying the automatic ride so far, much easier in rush hour traffic. Plus I still have the option to play if I want on the 5 speed padel shifters.

Anyways, that's my long story, just wanted to say hi.

 

Very cool! Welcome to the Fit family. My fit is a 2012 Blue Raspberry Auto Sport. This was my first new Honda as well. I hope you enjoy the car, I have had a blast with mine so far (a few months now). There are lots of really cool people here on the forum that will have answers to any questions you might have. See you around the forum
