    Also in you are financing they will give you a much better rate on a brand new car then any used car. Financing also means you need full insurance on the car until it is paid off which is cool but a lot more monthly.

    Couldn't you just pay it all out once you do get it?

    EX model. Got for 20k out the door, but traded in my 2000 Sienna for 3k. Not the best deal, but I didn't wanna drive the van anymore. Wish the car wasn't this loud though. Really envious of hybrid car x.x

    Is it the motor that's loud? Like while stopped, idling?
    Or is it while driving? Roaring while driving is often your tires even if the tread appears good.

    It's when I'm driving or going up hills. It's a V4 1.5L engine, but it's pretty concerning. One of the biggest complaints of the Honda Fit was the engine noise so I know it's not an uncommon problem, but it's super loud.

    I'd have to hear it if it's engine related.
    Have you searched Honda Fit forums?
    You can find some seriously amazing fixes on forums for specific vehicles

    You had me at forums.

    Add a muffler? Would that do any good?

    Also, Cruise Control. Where have you been all my life...

    It already has a muffler. If you bought it brand new, it has a muffler and a resonator on the exhaust, both muffling sound. I'd say you have a motor - excess air sound, due to throttle body / intake / vacuum problem (maybe the design) from factory.
    Learned anythung about it on forums?

    @Gangsta aka G-Money, my Fit is super stuffy inside whenever I enter even on super cold days. Any solution?

    Always P Dawg

    Before turning off the vehicle, always turn your A.C off completely (fan off) to prevent condensation building up in the lines, ultimately causing water vapor to sneak back into the cabin (car's A.C vent system) and can end with a bad compressor and/or condesation in your car. Also before leaving the vehicle to sit overnight / when it rains, press the circulation button so that the light is on, indicating that there is no outside air coming into the vents, as they are closed and in "cirulation" mode. This will also help keep condensation out of your car.

    If you're seeing any actual condensation on the inside of the glass, take the clearest picture possible and post it here. There's always the possibility of a manufacturer error / weak window seal.

    Decided to live with the heat. It's usually cold in San Francisco anyway and I can always crack open windows.

    I know people say to start up and warm up the car before moving especially for a new one, but I was just wondering how long should I warm it up for? Is there any validity to this?
