    Default Trading the Fit...?

    Well I had a bit of conundrum at the Acura dealership in Macon yesterday. I had to kill some time while my gf was at work, so I figured I'd stop by and check out the new TSX, as I haven't seen it yet. I was checking it out, minding my own business, and a salesman comes outside.

    "You interested in selling you in your Fit?"

    "No."

    "How bout for that Z over there?"

    Now I've always had a soft spot for the Z's. And I decide to go inside and talk money with the man. After the usual back-and-forth, we get it down to straight swap. I go test drive it and love it. But I tell him I'm not doing it today. No way he's getting the Volks. So he writes up the contract, and I tell him to hold it till Monday, so I can go home and check on insurance/swap wheels. So I leave. And as soon as I start driving, I start to miss the Fit. So I figured I'd go take some final pictures of it before the swap on Monday.






























    NO way in HELL i'm getting rid of this.



    (that means I'm keeping it)

    I've already made up mind, guys.

    I'm a Honda fanboi, what can I say?

    Nissan's just don't work for me.

    I like my Element more than my 350Z Track. I sold the Z to get it no less.

    Every time I see a white fit, I die a little inside. If only I could've found a low mile used model, or they made it for 08, i'd have to get one.

    I was about to come through a monitor and beat you lol.

    I'm still waiting on the harlequin fit to happen.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I feel like I am the only one that doesn't see the Fit as anything great. It's just like all the other little econoboxes only styled to look like a REALLY small minivan. I think the Honda fanboyism on IA is going to people's heads.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    ...except that it can outhandle a Z06.

We later confirmed this when the Fit sailed through our lane-change test 6 mph faster than anything else here — faster, in fact, than a Corvette Z06.

    Don't hear me as saying that a Fit is anywhere as fast as a Z06 (or even a 350z), but I know that I would be more confident in driving a Fit through the mountain roads than the Nissan. Try to get in one some day.

    It will impress you.

    No they're not, and they cost a LOT to modify.

    you'll hate yourself if you get rid of the fit with gas prices as they are now. The Z is a great car but not a practical DD.
