I test drove a Honda Fit Sport today and it confirmed ALL my good feelings. Went to two different Honda dealers. Was surprised how busy the dealership was--made me feel that the lousy ol' economy can't be THAT bad--but both dealerships treated me like royalty. At the second place, I even met the owner of the whole dang thing...And I told them I am not likely to actually purchase til June 1. I have yet to do the official "Consumer Reports" analysis--but both dealerships would go slightly below their invoice price, which here in the western 'burbs of Chicago, IL is $16,123. The second dealer is in a different county which means it's about 50-60 bucks less in tax AND he'd take $100 off. (Both also offer a booklet of coupons for free...supposedly worth $500 in savings. And both will give me free carwashes forever. One will give me free oilchanges for a year...Anybody know if that price is good, bad, or whatever????
Yep, let's get fit to fit in our Fits! (By the way, know that I do NOT get any kind of commission on this. I just think, like many others here (and elsewhere) that this is a really good car.) I wish I were "buying American" although they say You ARE, since they're made in Ohio...but I think the $$$$ must ultimately go to Japan. But what are you going to do? It's a quality-made vehicle, with good engineering, safety, gas mileage, the whole bit....Well, those are my thoughts on the topic and I like the blackberry pearl color, or maybe the red....since it seems everyone's getting silver grey vehicles these days.
