I couldn't agree more.

The versatility of the hatch allows me to carry so much more than if it had a trunk and that is really what attracted me to buying the Fit.

I know, well it makes sense somewhat since the Yaris and Versa are both offered in a sedan version. I won't be buying it though

yep, makes carrying wheels a breeze.

not so much on a sedan...cause you'd have to lay towels or bag the wheels not to stain the seats..only to find you can only place one wheel with tire in the trunk.

really not much better than having a coupe.

Just completed 5 months of ownership and nearly 5,000 miles so took her in for an oil change even though the gauge said 40% to be on the safe side

Oil still looked really good but now officially running on Mobil 1 and the M1 110 filter

Also did a tire rotation and the tires are wearing evenly, so no problems reported at all

kenchan · 10-16-2013, 05:18 PM

waizzz- you dont do your own oil change?

on m1. im running the green cap (0W20) in my '12.

I'm running the 5w20

I have nowhere to do an oil change since my drive way is too steep and I can't get into my garage with either of my cars.

It also allows me to check other things when I go to my mechanic and considering I will go around 5k between oil changes it means I will see him twice a year so not a big deal at all

Ken has already seen this but someone just modded a JDM 2014, I think it looks pretty damn good

speedfreek · 11-05-2013, 11:39 PM

I like the new front end. The rest not so much.

Waiz · 11-06-2013, 02:42 AM

How is the Fit treating you David?

I'm 7 months in of ownership and honestly this car is perfect for me and I am glad I bought the car!

speedfreek · 11-06-2013, 09:48 AM

It's getting the job done. I am still enjoying it along with the good gas mileage and plenty of room to haul stuff. It definitely fits the bill for what I needed in a daily. I agree with both of you on all counts on why I chose the Fit over a sedan for a daily.

waizzz-

yah, i saw that yesterday. i think the front looks good, but not sure about the rear.

my fit is the last 4dr hatch i will buy for a while, so im not really interested in the new fits as much as i was when the GE's came out.

Oh thats good to hear, I mean I went from $70 a week in gas to $27 that alone nearly pays for the car by itself

I just love the versatility of this car and the fact that I can still have fun with it

I like 2014 but I don't care about upgrading, I am perfectly content with my GE too

have you seen the new leaked mini-suv honda picture ? that might work for my wife. it's shorter than the CRV, and a lot sportier looking than the CRV.

No sir, link?

I wish they would bring the Fit shuttle to the US, that thing is pretty cool

Rock 1, my windshield 0

It's getting repaired this week but will cost me $275
