So I left Acura but NOT the family...

So after my accident, I wasnt able to get any Acura I was looking at to get even close to the payment I currently had 412/mo after making payments on-time the past 2 cars and 7yrs so I caved a little. I decided on a 2013 Honda Fit Sport w/Navi. After a month of not finding a Taffeta White one to dealer trade, they flat out bought one from a dealer out of network to sell me (I have that kind of pull). I did a lot of investigation. Guys are getting high 40's to one 51.3mpg on a trip plus the "magic seat" did it for me. Honda is also paying for leather as it makes the car more accessible for me. I will NOT leave this site. You'll still see me here a lot as I am on www.driveaccord.net b4 i was here.

Now for pix w/o further do,





My chair fits in front seat just as on did in TL. The FIT almost more room 90.1cu ft.


Here's pic from Hondas press release with the seat folded 2 different ways.

my buddy has one and its extremely fun to drive and nimble on the highways. Not to mention it sips gas like you drinking a glass of fine wine.
and the chair fits in the fit !

If your'e happy with the choice, then we're happy for you.

Are those paddle shifters I see?

My buddy had a fit and a 350z, though unfortunately the fit got rear ended and he got rid of it. BUT be modded the crap out of the fit (was also a MT) and it became an extremely fun, nimble go kart. Do eet!

I like the fit but it's not meant for people of my size . Was planning on buying one for the wife.

Enjoy your new car too!

We had the previous generation Fit. It was a 2007. We loved it but the only thing that annoyed us about it was how easily it dented. I don't mean in an accident, I just mean the slightest door bump from another vehicle would leave a small mark. It was a great little car, fun to drive, very fuel efficient and a ridiculous amount of storage space for a car of its' size. Just a little tinny bodywise. Hopefully, the 2nd gen's body is a little tougher.

Congrats! My dad has one of these, except its a manual. Great practical little cars, great MPG, but still really fun for canyon carving.

lol. You're NOT going to get high 40s to 50 MPG... Most I've had with a 2009 Fit was around 35-36 mpg.

I'm a little surprised you didn't want to wait for the new 2015 Fits to hit the dealers, they have been nicely redesigned.
