Default Fit 09...Here i come

So after looking at pics and realizing how unhappy i am with my sentra, i decided to cut my losses and get a new car. Plus i'm only getting roughly 22-24 in my 02 Sentra GXE.

I looked at the current price for the 08 Fits and estimated my monthly car payments would go up an aditonal $100 and my insurance would go up an additional $40. All in all something i can easily afford. I also added with my current apt. rates and what i'd be looking at if i moved. I estimated with the new fit i'd still have roughly $1100/month left over to myself, which is all i really care about.

So, now i have to think about what color i wanna get. I want to stay away from black since my last 2 cars were black and man do they attract scratches and body abuse. I was thinking about a silver one. Also for those who have subwoofers and amps in your fits, what do you do to prevent them from being seen in the open and welcoming thefts.

What choo guys think.

I would recomend you get a manual, from what I have read the autos get significantly lower milage for some reason.

Stop and go traffic in Philly is brutal, specially during my commute to work.

I second the motion, get the manual honda fit. Automatic fit get only about 28-30mpg while the manual fit get 35-40mpg. Bigger savings $$$$

On the 09's they're different, on the 07-08's yes the manuals do better.
