A few months back I had documented how we replaced & painted the door for our 2000 Suzuki Esteem. Everything was going great and we really enjoy this little car that many people mistaken as a Subaru.
After coming back from the recent trip we found out that an ordinary check-up at the mechanic yielded unexpected results. The engine, the heart of the car, gave out after 190,000km.
We debated whether to replace the engine but in the end decided to let it go. It was a sad day to part with our friend of 13 years.
We did a little searching and soon narrowed it down to a few options. At first we were looking at the 2009-2012 Honda Fit but then I really liked the pedal shifter on the steering wheel after trying the 07 model.
Meet our new ride: a ’07 Honda Fit with the Sports trim. The Fit is also known as the Jazz in Europe and Asia. Despite its size the trunk and rear seats has a lot of cargo room. It is a very fun car to drive in the city, steering is responsive and pick-up is quick. Carmen is very happy we now have A/C in the summer!
Haven’t had a chance to do a proper shoot for the car, but so far we are very happy owners of this little Fit.
Still haven’t named her yet, any suggestions?
