20K on the Beast

I just broke 20,000 miles on my Fit and just wanted everyone to know that this car just becomes better and more fun to drive every day. I am looking forward to winter here in Wisconsin and I cant wait to use the Fit to haul snowboards and tear through the snow. I'll definitly post pics of the fit tearing it up in the snow!

As a side note I have not encountered any problems, replacements, or mechanical issues since I bought the car in May. (except the whole bumper pealing repaint issue)

Glad to hear it. I'm pushing 7400 right now, and so far so good. I'm hoping she will hang in for some time. I have a Thanksgiving road trip planned too.

Got a few questions:

-Have you replaced tires yet, how many times did you rotate them?
-What is your driving style. Easy? Lead foot?
-Mostly city or highway miles?

Just curious

Hey, one thing I was curious about, having an old Civic right now(waiting for my Fit,like everyone else). How is the Fit in the snow....my Civic won't go anywhere without good snow tires(Blizzaks). Do you use snows, will it "go" without them? Thanks for your reply.....

^^ I'm also curious about this. If/when I do get a Fit it will probably be within the next month and winters are bad here in Omaha.

Has your gas mileage gotten better?

I have not driven in the snow yet but I will post pics and review as soon as it happens. As for tires, I have put my stock base wheels on after removing them for summer bigger tires earlier right after I got it, so the tread is still fairly new. I drive pretty "spirited" most of the time and I am seeing decent 32ish mpg in a manual.

The last 10K miles or so I have seen great break-in improvements and performance, and I can easily say that this car was designed sportier than Honda will admit. I think you(HONDA) has to undersell a car like this to really impress the public and throw off the competition.
