Reluctant Five
I got this "orange" Fit because it was the only one left on the lot and I wanted a fuel efficient car with a proven engine and respected name for quality. Obviously, with so many Fits on the road today and with some other auto manufacturers copying the design, this is a great car. And "orange" wouldn't have been my first choice, but it sure has drawn attention and is very easy to find in a busy parking lot. Plus it isn't really orange.....I think they call it cinnamon. My brother drove it recently when he was here and let me know that it had a lot more zip than he expected....I wasn't sure I wanted to hear that from him! It continues to get 34 mpg and has so much more space inside than it looks like it would from the outside. It is a quality performance car with good acceleration....not enough to outrun the law, but enough to keep from being pestered by the guys who like to ride bumpers. My only wish is that it was quieter inside the cabin. Road noise is an issue for me with my Fit. Otherwise, if I care to buy another new car, it will be a Fit, turquoise this time....still bright, but not as easily spotted by nosy neighbors.
