The Wife's New Car

Last week Karen was driving home from work in her 2003 Nisson Sentra when the tie rod broke, locking the wheels to the right. She ran off of the road and into a metal shed at a marina she was passing. Fortunately she wasn't hurt but the car was totaled so I've been researching small cars with good trunk space for the cat carriers and good gas mileage. We settled on a Honda Fit and bought one at a great price locally. Here it is. So far she is very pleased with it. I think it is kind of cute in a strange, buglike way. The Fit got good reviews and has a high safety rating and reliability rating. It is an economy car but for the money it's very well built, lacking only some of the frills that don't really mean much to us such as navigation aids and satellite radio. We chose it over 8 other cars in its class. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for good transportation and great gas mileage.
