Picked up an 09 Fit Sport Auto (gasp....STFU) in Storm Silver Metallic. I am extremely happy with the car. It is very comfortable, has a ton of cool features, awesome for driving around everyday. The "magic seats" are pretty damn cool as well and offer a ton of space in the car. Going from around 400hp to 117hp is pretty freakin weird. I have to slow down instead of speed up in traffic to change lanes, even with VTEC . But...holy understeer batman. They did make this car a bit stiffer than the previous gen, but holy crap, this is my only gripe with the car, then again it's my DD so whatever.

How's the interior compared to the previous generation? I wasn't a fan of the trim and the flimsy feel. Also, the lack of steering wheel mounted radio controls in that car killed the deal for my wife, who would be using the car as a daily driver.

If steering wheel mounted radio controls is a deal killer you don't have many options in cars.

I liked the interior on the previous gen and I love it on this gen. The interior is much more roomy though. If you get the Navi model it has the radio controls on the steering wheel but then you are dipping into the close to $20k range. Most GMs have controls on the steering wheels now.

the fit is about the only car ive gotten into where the back seat area ranked as spacious... I am 6'2" and had PLENTY of head and leg room. I was amazed.

I like Fits.

I attend anger management now.

I also like Honda Fits.

Usually there is always room in a car for width/gerth, most cars are usually vertically challenged. I'm set that the S2K was only built for people under 5'6. I've already packed 5 people in there comfortably. You could also put someone in the "trunk" area but I wouldn't do that just in case of a rear end collision.

I think when this isn't considered is when one is officially an "adult."

I always consider how many dead bodies I can fit in the back of a vehicle...

Oh, you mean people that are alive?
