Hello! I haven't even test driven one yet, but everything I've watched and read makes me think this is my kind of car. I like hatchbacks, I like small cars, I like nimble cars, I like manual trannies, and I like a good amount of power. Seems the FiST has all of those features.
My only direct experience was riding in a FiST last year for a single autocross run. I thought it was pretty impressive.
I'll probably buy a used one, if I do get one. Are there any particular issues these cars have to check for when buying used?
I currently have an '07 Fit, '91 and '97 Miatas, and a 1923 Model T hot rod.
I'd definitely get rid of the Fit, and maybe one of the Miatas, since the FiST would probably end up being my autocross car.
I really like my Fit, it's a lot of fun to drive, very agile, and has surprisingly quick steering. The one thing I don't like about it is it lacks power. Seems the FiST is an even better handler, and has more than enough power. It's like a Fit Extra.
Anyway, I hope to test drive a FiST within the week, maybe even today, and I'll take it from there.
