After a 1.5 year wait to get finances in order I am finally picking up a new car for the wife.
Considerations were: New: Impreza (non wrx), Rabbit, Versa, Civic, insight (the new one) Used: Audi a4 Avant, volvo wagon, outback, forester, 3 series wagon.
Criteria were no dark colors, had to be 2006 or newer, provision for iPod or aux in, wagon/hatch, manual, somewhat fun to drive, 30+ MPG (with a 40 mile each way commute it adds up for us).
Finaly choice being picked up next Saturday? 2009 Honda Fit Sport, Storm Silver with Manual Transmission. Getting it for invoice price. Having my local tint and clearbra guy pick it p ahead of time to get the tint and clearbra done so that way we can pick it up and head home. This one is going to be brand new, fresh off the boat. We were also looking at the blue, but none to be coming in these days so silver works for us as well out here in the heat.
We are going to break it in by driving it to Farmington to co-drive that national event.
I have had Hondas in the past, and was really impressed with the redesign of the Fit (we look at the earlier ones, did not like quite as much). Here's to another one in the stable!
