Is the Fit Your First Car?
#21
Old geezer
44 years of driving - about the 25th car but the first new one. Joins a stable of morgan+4, 1966 Corvette 427, Mega monster Miata (supercharged V-8), 1969 Mercedes 280 SL, 1970 Jaguar XKE, 2- Honda CRV's, 1966 Chevy Pickup, and a 2000 Miata.
The Fit is fun to drive and normally my daily driver - gas prices helped - getting 40 mpg in the mountains.

'87 toyota camry
'94 nissan altima
'96 honda accord
'00 toyota camry
'02 subaru impreza wrx
'07 honda fit
my wrx was probably my favorite car out of all of em, but the honda fit is the best handling and most like a swiss army knife.

As near as I can figure, the Fit is my 12th "car" in 32 years of driving. It is only my second brand-new one, and it is my second Honda (third if you count motorcycles). I'm planning on keeping this one for a long, long time.

My Fit is the first NEW car I have owned. Had 20 miles on it when I drove off the lot.
In order of what I have owned:
1987 Plymouth Horizon. Can't get a pic to post, only one that did was HUGE. WTF?
Mine was gray. I loved that damn car.
1996 Geo Prizm
Mine is green and messed up on the front bumper, rear bumper and passenger side. None of the collisions I was at fault.
I still own that Geo, but it needs major under hood work.
and of course Nighthawk Black 2008 Fit

I have been driving 14 years now, and I am still on my second car!!
Is that unusual?
1986 Monte Carlo: Bought it in 1994, had 26,000 original miles on it! Drove it till 2002. Great car. Definitely not good in the corners and awful on gas. But, drove real smooth!
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Bought it in 2002, when I got rid of the Monte Carlo... I know I know... it gets 16mpg, and its a SUPER LOUD ride. I cannot stand the road and wind noise! But, it's been a good vehicle. (gas was about $1.30 when I bought this thing... and now I have a 24 mile one way commute--ouch!)
2009 Honda Fit Sport: TBA!!

This is my 5th car since I got my first car in 2000. I got my license back in 1998, just FYI. Here are all the car I had before the Fit:
-1997 Chevrolet Cavalier coupe (used)
-2002 Saturn SC1 (new, and had great gas mileage for an AT)
-2004 Saturn ION-3 Quad Coupe (new, and had that god-awful CVT)
-2006 Saturn ION-2 Sedan (new, better than 04 ION, but had to get rid of it)
