Bought a new car

Must read slower....nobody has implied Imps Fit will even go fast
enough to spin out of control.

Nobody has implied Imps Fit will go fast at all.

All jokes aside, the Fit does look like a nice car. Certainly a upgrade
over a 20 year old automobile.

Appears to come in two models, a base model and a sport? I really didn't
see the difference. A rear sway bar?

Smaller, more efficent cars are the way to go.

And silver is a good choice in color. Latest study gives silver a 50% less chance
of being involved in an accident. Depending on weather conditions.

Serious question for Imp: How would you rate the interior noise for the car? I really
like a quite ride. Same with the handling? Many short wheelbase cars I find to get a
little squirrley, too easy to oversteer.

The list is complete. Be very afraid

Don't forget...... sourland was with us....... in spirit!

 

[Cindiloohoo]

Did I make "the list?"

 

[sourland]

Too late, Spookwriter, the Imp has spoken.

 

[Spookwriter]

I don't think I like being on lists. Doesn't sound like a good thing.
So I hereby ask that my name be removed.

'Sides, it weren't my fault...it was that Junkman and his buddy the
Farm Boy that caused it all. And we done throwed them two under
the bus for it.

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

Yeah, I agree with Spook. We're innocent until proven guilty! Just don't read any previous posts, & we're safe!

Very Nice car.

Everyone made the list.

There is no big differences between the Base and Sport, just a bunch of cosmetic differences. And yes I burst out laughing when the salesman told me about the 10 cup holders.

Since I'm in an urban/suburban area small cars are the way to go. The only off roading I do is in my driveway. Although I have gone hunting, on logging roads, in my civics. The smaller cars feel more zippy on the freeways. I like the way this car feels like you are surrounded by glass, in a cockpit.

I'm not much of a car guy. Have never done anything to customise them. Once when I was a teen I added louvers to my first car. Windstorm in Anchorage ripped them off the car, then picked up the car.

Didn't have much of a choice in colors, I'm thankful there was a silver one left. It is the 2010 model. Mostly just lots of white left. Don't like white, a few blue left. Don't like blue too much. 1 silver left. Don't know if silver is helpful with accidents around here in the gray PNW.

It is totally quiet inside. A neighbor came over and sat in it. We could not hear each other through the doors. And seemed a lot quieter driving it home. Course I'm comparing it to an old car. Did seem quieter than the Ford Ranger.

And it is "squirrely", but I've always had small cars, so I'm used to it. very similar to my 85 civic.
