well i might be getting rid of the fit and trading it in on a civic but im not sure yet we will see how things go

 

I wouldnt trade for a Civic unless its a Si, i hope its an Si..?

 

If its an si thats cool but not just a civic. I like the blue or red si i wanted one but they were to much for me at the time

 

yea. i was gonna trade mine in for an Si for the longest time... but i just couldnt justify it. i had NOTHING wrong with the fir, except the armrest and sunroof... which unfort are 2 major things for me =\

 

Why do you want to trade your Fit to a Civic? I mean Civic are nice cars too and very comfortable. My mother has an '06 EX and they ride very smooth and so as my Fit. The only thing I don't like about my Fit compare to a civic is the seat, '06+ Civic seats are more comfortable

 

Maybe its financial issues? It seems youre sad so Im guessing youre obligated on this trade?

 

this has nothing to do with finacial issuse lol my fit is paid off and has been since day one just alot of little things that people were saying here seats are stiff as hell no arm rest no sunroof, lol maby im justting to pissed about things and when i settle down ill relize i dont wanna get rid of it

 

civics are fugly as hell. 99-00 civic for life.

 

I have been thinking about this for about two weeks too...I got my 08 fit back in February and got a good deal on it...now its worth more than i bought it for..how often does that happen with a car?

So today i was getting my oil changed and it was my plan to go check out the civics....and i did, i sat in several of them, looked around, thought about my fit and the differences...i realized i like the rear seats folding down on the fit and that i use that enough times to not want to loose that capability.

I looked at a few new 09 fits, they look nice, but i dont like that the dash is not symmetric anymore.

Anyways, i went to Carmax afterward because i was going to just see what they would give me for the car and i got there at 9.45 and they dont open untill 10am. as im sitting there, thinking about the civic i was just sitting in 10min earlier, i caught my fits reflection on the glass walls of the Carmax and i realized: I like this car...its great on mileage, practicality and handles great...as i had my revelation, i popped my car in gear and left Carmax with a smile on my face.

Im glad i got that out of my system. I love my fit!

 

us 07-08 owners have a rare car. compared to how many 09+ fits there will be on the road

 

man, the civic is a downgrade. if you like your car, tell them to eff off, I mean it has sports seats pretty much, stiff, you fall into them, not as nicely as bucket seats, but hell it's a step in that direction.

If they arses don't fit in the seats, they need to go look in a mirror.

if they complain about sunroof, it's your car not theirs. If their comments or opinions matter that much, I guess trade it in for the downgraded, smaller honda civic.

Honestly, this is a bad place to talk about what others say when other threads exist about how baby our cars look, or how 'tiny' they are.

I'm happy with my Fit, why? cause it's MY car... you have your own probs... sadly they are on the forums.

 

Well I traded my Fit in yesterday for a 2008 Civic. The reason is I had the Fit for 2 years and 47K miles later, it looks like it is 4 years old. I used to drive 60-65 miles a day to and from work for over a year. That was a ton of miles on the Fit. Now I drive 8 miles around trip now. I traded it in for $12,300 (not bad for 47,000 miles) and got a Civic EX

 

I am going to drive my fit for a long long time....... I have absolutely no intentions of getting rid of it. My plan as of right now is to get a weekend car and keep the fit as my dd.

 

This is true, however that means aftermarket support is going to dry up in favour of the new one.

 

Enjoy filling up that car with premium gas.

 

07-08 yes we do have rare cars...but not that rare...my boy has a 94 accord and he was looking for some specific parts about three years ago and only last year they started making the part that he wanted....so if there is enough intrest they will continue making a/m parts..thats just my 5cents

 

That plan sounds very familiar.

 

Screw what others say. Are you gonna change how you dress when they start commenting on your style, too?

Don't sell/trade. Loss of money. Keep it till it's kaputt.

 

that makes no sense. you say civics are fugly... then go on to rant about how good a certain gen civic looks. makesnosense

 

i plan on driving my fit til it dies.... it'll be a dd, then maybe one day i'll get a nicer daily car, and turn the fit into more of a project/fun car
