To introduce myself, my handle is Grampa Pete. I am retired and do volunteer work in a youth prison setting where my handle is the only name they know me by. Don't sell today's boys short - many have great hearts and have had no love. I love em.

Was a VW diesel owner for quite a few years until my beloved Golf was totalled (and it was not any fault of mine). I really liked the functionality of a hatchback/small wagon, and VW didn't have any to offer me in a diesel. So, being addicted to great mileage and functionality, the Fit was an obvious choice.

I bought a silver sport and really enjoy it. I have been at 39mpg for the first 1,000 miles and hope to get even better as I switch to Mobil 1.

Likes:


Style
Front seat comfort/support
visibility
stereo
fun to drive


Dislikes:

Steering wheel too far away - needs to telescope
no arm rest
interior is hot
no standard floor mats
no temp guage
no daytime running lights

Overall, a very nice package, and it should be very reliable.
