I always kinda like the Fit. I really like the red, orange, blue ones. I hope you got a good deal on it!

Rob71 · 01-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Nice car. Always been partial to that color. I wish I could fit in a car that got gas mileage like that one.

Agrees...

It's amazing how much room is in there. My wifes brother is 5'9" and fits comfortably in the driver seat.

The car actually has an active MPG meter and when you are coasting with your foot off the accelerator, the engine stops feeding it gas. I get a lot of stop and go on my way home because of traffic so for 220 miles I averaged 29.8 miles per gallon.

SHines-IT · 01-02-2009, 04:52 PM

I think I would have got a used Trans Am WS6 for cheaper, lol. That would make up for the gas. But in all honesty, if you drive it correctly. You can get really good milage on the highway, with manual of course.

I'm 6'1"-6'2" depending on my last chiropractor visit.

I'm waiting on the new GM hybrid trucks that are coming out. Might have to get one of them.

Just an FYI. The 2007 Chevy Tahoe my parents had, I averaged 20-22 MPG on the highway. Driving like I cared about the gas, you know boring, lol.

My VW TDI is the same way, and getting the same milage, unless I really hammer on it.

If I hammer on it then the i-VTEC kicks in. I'm still breaking the car in, at 250 miles, and going easy on the engine until 600 miles or so. Only really rev'd it once. Fun car with a stiff front suspension.

SHines-IT · 01-02-2009, 04:59 PM

You should be getting better with a TDI? Everyone I talked with says, they get in the mid-upper 40's. I honestly would buy the TDI over a Hybrid, same goes for any Diesel. I love Diesel power!!!

PS, Nice Jeep.

Yeah, base 2009 model. I wanted a manual and my wife said no. What sucks is when I told her the sports auto has paddleshifters and would be for both of us she said "Why didn't you tell me?"

Does it have that much room in it for a little car. Because from time to time I have to go to other stores to pick up product and putting things in a Tiburon can be a pain. The other day I crammed as much stuff as i could just to make 2 trips instead of 3.

The seats have around 14 different configurations. You can lay down all the seats and make a bed if you wanted to. I think Honda was thinking of some weird stuff though because there is a hidden compartment under the rear passenger seats that would never be seen by anyone unless you read the manual. It's like it was made for drug smugglers or something.
