Questor,

what year was it?

Its either a 2008 or 2009: /forums/showthread.asp?forumid=9&threadid=415690&page=3. That thread mentions Questor's "gay Honda Fit".

Bzzz...Try again. It's a 2007 (and it's paid off woot).

I have put about 50,000 miles on it in the past 2 years. It's holding up quite well, in spite of the fact that it's been in 2 accidents (one moving and one when it was parked on the side of the road). I've changed the brakes once and the oil on schedule, but that's all I've needed to do.

im thinking about buying a Honda Jazz (FIT for the USA), it was all unexpected, was at the dealer and waiting for my contact there and asked a lady..so whatcha have new on the used list..and the thing came up...35,000 miles on it, 2 yrs old...tons of miles, I know! for Spain, anyways, the dealer is 2 blocks away...they are bringing the car from their area lot...nothing to do 2morrow morning, might as well glance it over...

at 6-7 USD a gallon, it's gotta be good!

whats your MPG, you reckon?

I drive it pretty hard, and get ~300 miles per tank. When I have driven it predominantly on highways I can get ~330 or more. I don't track how many gallons I put in it so I have no way of knowing what the MPG is.

Get the Sport model (whatever the equivalent is over there). The stereo is quite good, actually, and if you get the iPod "attachment" (I don't have it) it is even better.

that's the one I test drove this morning....t'was fun, like driving a blue jelly bean. My wife got in and we started talking about a Mini convertible...go figure. Now to do the numbers, and extra 10k - 10.5k for that, yikes! we'll see.

i lean towards the jazz, I know it is good, I liked it for what I want it. I sort of could use it to drive around Bcn (small streets, small spaces, etc) and to take it up the Pyerenees, even in the winter, when skiing, I can slap some snow tires on that thing and haul ass up there.

I drove a little Miata in the Michigan winters for 8 yrs, no problems EVER, key was...snow tires, Blizaak, bless them Allah!

anyways, it's color is horrendous, jelly bean blue, I swear...I tell my wife most men are buying a sports car at middle age as part of crisis and all I want is a blue jelly bean, she thought it was ugly, I do too, but I look at its practicality and the fact that Im all the way into the sailboat deal, committed, and I dont want to spend more money on wheels than I have to, as I want the boat.

I'll play the lotto tomorrow, maybe that will help.

fuck, the thing is ugly, the blue one, I wish it was red like yours.

edit: this one is late 2009, about 21,000 miles, they ask 14,000 USD for it, which is cheap for Euroland. Dealer unit.

There aren't any other used ones available?

not at that price that's why it's about 1,500 euros cheaper than average, it's just an ugly color.

my issue is that I drive from ocean level to about 7,000 feet every now and then, and when i go up or down, I spend days there, and the engine's tuning is for sea level, so it's not that efficient up there, my minivan is....I pay for gas thru the nose, I am getting sick of it.

the other day I put 125 euros for a full tank, it will last me 4 days and I am not a milk man.

That color is horrendous. But the car will grow on you - I promise.

Blue jelly bean thing??? What happened???
I got rid of my Suburban last year and got an Escalade. Not an upgrade- I f'ing HATE it. Time to go back to zero and start over with something smaller and efficient. I do a lot of travelling by car, so I was torn- I wanted room to stretch and for the kids to be comfortable, but a wanted to NOT spend $120 to fill it. Obviously, I chose comfort, and now I regret it.

I would go broke real quick if I did a lot of traveling in something like an Escalade.

no no. havent crashed, I mean plastered as in smeared all over my brain, with images...

The Jazz I saw is fine, but the blue shade it has is horrid. I know I love it, except the color, I love, LOVE Honda cars, everyone in my family has Hondas, I was the first one, and I ranted so much about them that everyone finally listened, tried them, different models and between us all, we have almost...almost one of each model among my family and extended family.

Anyways, my wife is on to a Mini Convertible....if I can make the numbers work.... It would be a car for ME, but she knows she would enjoy it as well, she doesnt enjoy driving, so she doesnt want to drive it, she wants to be passenger.
