it seems to me that you guys care way to much about what one person online thinks. if you care what i think, what about all the people that see you driving that thing? i would be embaressed. im just a guy on the internet. you guys are defending this way too much. i dont like the fit. who cares. move on with your life. i wasnt expecting to get 5 pages of replies(so far) just because i dont like it. some people dont like s2000s. i dont care. i wouldnt defend my car for 5 pages like you losers. this will be my last post on this pathetic forum. go drive your ugly cars. mods, you might as well lock this pathetic thread.

You said more than that.

Hey MisFIT..........
I picked up my Blaze Orange Metallic Fit Sport this morning. It was even better then I expected. The "Orange" if you can really call it that, seems to change it's color in different lighting. It's really an eye catcher. I was a little leery about orange but can honestly say I don't think I could be happier with one of the other choices. As one of these people said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are going to love it. Good choice.

Thank you sir,
You're words are encouraging, as I'm still a little nervous about buying a car in a color I have never seen in person. I'm just hoping its not as bright as the orange on the Element. The salesguy's swore to me up and down that it wasn't as bright.
Either way I can refure delivery of the car if I hate it and order a different color, but I don't want to have to wait another 2 months.
Post some pics will ya.

I disagree that it is the ugliest because it looks better than the 84'-87' four door Civic wagon.

And lastly, he says it's the ugliest car he's ever seen. I guess he's never seen an AMC Pacer.

It is tough to maintain a comfortable temperature in my new fit even with the windows down... on a day that is below or near 60 F. Of course my interior is black and it stays toasty. I Plan to tint the windows very soon to hopfully fix this problem.

I didn't like the Accord that was restlyed in 2002, but the 2006 with it's exterior refresh is actually a nice looking car (IMO).
I have wrestled with making a choice between the Civic and the Fit, but I really want a hatchback.

Heh.
I just put a deposit down on a Fit Sport, in blaze orange, because I think it's a damn cute car. My first choice was a MINI Cooper, but it wasn't practical at this point in my life. So money wasn't the issue. I liked the car's looks, features, and functionality. I think Civics are the epitome of boring, and don't really like sedans.
Phish-guy, I live in Ohio, and I just saw one of the service guys at my local Honda dealer who looked like he could be a serious Phish freak. I hope it wasn't you, because I certainly wouldn't want my car in the hands of sucha whiny tosser, should it require service.
Of course, should I find out it's you, living in a small Ohio college town, it'd sure be a shame if I showed your post to your bosses. Luckily, I'm not a mod with the ability to read IP addresses, and narrow you down to, say, a FrogNet account.

everyone seems so offended by this post. plain in simple, this guy doesnt like the looks. I own a fit, and I agree its pretty darn ugly compared to the majority of 06-07 vehicles. I think the toyota yaris are even uglier but that doesn't encourage me to check there forums so that I could tell them its ugly. Some people enjoy there cars like art or music, contemporary or abstract, people have different interests yet you dont see a person who is into hip hop music go up to a group of heavy metal fanatics and say "your music sucks."
Eval for this post:
1.) I respect his opinion as everyone is entitled to there own personal views.
2.) What I don't get, is if you dont own a fit, nor like the thing. Why register as a member just so you can let people who actually do care about its looks know you hate its appearance?
Conclusion - the guy was probably just real bored, reading forums due to interest in latest model cars and found it amusing to voice an opinion which caused comments blazing. Would you really expect him to come back to look for comments agreeing with what he said on a site dedicated to the vehicle? I assume for the majority of my assumption that he looked for comments on how people would be upset with his views. Propaganda at its best.

pipsqueek I cant count higher, said...
"the only thing i hate about the car is the way it looks"...unquote
wow, some dont like the mpg, others dont like the way the headlights aim, and some dont like the (add your complaint here...), if the ONLY thing you dont like, is the edgy styling, your ahead of curve. ....or stuck in the ditch, a few turns back. or obviously ignorant of its features.
why not post a picture of yourself so we can see true beauty, and style? go ahead, we wont call you ugly.
