@MossyDrums27 Sound is surprisingly good. Its not going to out thump a huge subwoofer, but the base is nice and the frequency range is fantastic. I generally listen to my usb stick on random. 4 gigs of mp3s. The cd players plays mp3s as well, so I dont have to carry any cds with me due to the amount of music on hand. Oh, and the antenna picks up really nicely too.
@WAWWB compared to toyota, honda sets one price somehwat competitive to toyota in each model but their is a huge markup from the price they list(MSRP) for each car....what was the final price for the fit?
Hey Jennifer, what do you think of the ride in your Fit? Is it a good balance of a smooth ride and good handling or does it have sort of a harsh ride to it?
@patwickgriff Its actually quite a sporty ride. It has a stiffer suspension and takes tight turns really well. I wouldn't go trucking through the outback in it, but normal driving seems very smooth. The increased insulation in the 2012 makes it a quiet, sporty ride.
i have one in a purple color. check out my vids of it if you want. one thing though i noticed sunoco gas gives me crap gas mileage so i now use bp gas. good luck with ur fit!
@patwickgriff Yes. I still do enjoy it! Getting about 33mpg and that is an average over the last month. Owning a Fit is like joining a club apparently, hehe. I have more people say they want one, and when I find someone that has one, we inevitably talk about how much we like them.
Only regret is not getting the manual. But I regret it less when I have to sit in traffic for 45 mins, so I'm getting over it. :)
ah such an awesome car and great matching color! Wish they would add the sunroofs though... I see your's is an automatic transmission, I'd prefer a manual transmission since it is called the Fit Sport, but looks cool anyways
Love this car! I have it with a manual transmission, making it a blast to drive! Unfortunately I didn't get it with leather interior, making it annoying for me personally because of the netted seats. The seats netting attract all sorts of crumbs, and being a car detailer it drives me insane to see it dirty again right after I vacuum it. Oh well, overall it's an amazing car!
Was the leather a custom option? I have looked at Honda's web site but have not seen leather seating as an option on this vehicle. At least direct from the factory...
The leather looks nice, I was thinking about adding leather to mine too, did you also get heated seats too? And did they also put leather on the door panels?
@WAWWB Thanks! I ordered an identical car (in manual transmission) a month ago. I currently own a 2009 Sport Fit and it has been great. Very low maintenance costs (just fluids and filters). I have 80k miles on it and still rolling the original brake pads!
Oh ok, I'm adding this same leather to mine on Thurs. They are adding a honda logo in the seat back and I asked them to put blue contrast stitching and heated seats. Does yours have heated seats too? Im guessing no since you live in TX right?
your car is awesome

@WhatThePresidentSays would have been nice, but i dont mind. Texas head could have faded the dash leather pretty quick I think.
