Friday, the 19th, purchased (cash, no financing) a base Taffeta White A/T FIT. Found the car online Thursday morning, and did the deal by internet email and telephone calls.
First new car I've ever had.
I have two questions.
What's with all the cup holders?
What does "The FIT is Go" mean?

The Fit is Go means whatever you think it means (yes that's a Zen moment).
Seriously, it was a Japanese car to start with and we know how things get lost in translation...

Shucks, I should have checked here to see what you all got thrown in when you bought your cars. I didn't even get floor mats but I got it a bit under MSRP in the end.
I really wanted the rear cargo lid but it doesn't come with it. They said it comes with the cargo tray but they didn't have it at the time of delivery.

However, I think I could have done better on the extended warranty. The initial deal the finance guy proposed was $1850 for 7yr/80K, and $2150 for 8yr/100K. He said that it retailed for $2850 and ~$3250, respectively, which of course is crazy. He also told me that I could not purchase it later.
I ended up talking him down to $1000 for the 7yr/80K, without the 'buyback' option. Looking at these forums, though, I probably could have done a bit better, but at least I don't feel like I've been ripped off too badly.

The same could be said for just about any other consumer product. We could compare prices on baked beans in a can, and depending on where we are, what stores carry it, that will determine the price. Right?
You might pay .50 cents and I might pay 1.50 for the identical product. A product in high demand in one area can hold a higher price. In low demand areas, it might not be possible to give them away at cost.
I'm just really glad I don't have to wheel and deal for a can of baked beans.

I got mine last Friday (12/19), but there's some issues with the financing.

I bought my 09 Fit Sport and I been approved by Honda Finance @ Woodland Hills, CA. I signed everything, put $500 immediately and another check for $1000 that will be on hold for two weeks. I thought the deal is done and final, but two days later I get a call at work from my finance guy requesting an additional down payment or a co-signer.
I told him I will put another $1000 and to give me another two weeks. He agreed and told me everything should be fine.
I really hope the Honda Review guy call me because I will give them the lowest score for the hassle they caused me. I should at least be compensated for this sudden change in the agreement.
What do you guys think? Should I threaten them that I will give them the lowest score or tell them I wont be shopping there anymore.
Love the my fit though and I would feel like shit if I return it.
Sorry for the long post, but I just needed to rant.

California has no cooling off period. I don't think you can return it once you drive it off of the lot.

Hate to say it but, you should have saved up a little more down payment. Can't really blame the dealer with only $500 down unless you have a very high credit score or lots of assets.

I thought the deal is done and signed, but this shit pisses me off that I have to come up with another grand.

Actually, I put $1500 down and then a few days later the finance guy called if I can put another down. I told him I'll give him another $1000 in two weeks, so the total down is now $2500.

I would think that you have already signed a contract, to which both parties agreed, and that should be binding. They can't unilaterally change the terms on you after the fact. It may be worth a brief consult with a lawyer, or, if available some local Legal Aid society.

Here's a list:
Floor mats
Cargo cover
Fit Car cover

The same time actually happened to my brother, but it was at a different dealer. That bastard @ finance better give me the updated contract and paperwork.
