hey whats up everybody. I'm really interested in getting a fit for my self. but i got one big question i was just wondering what it the theft rate for the fit. i just wondering cause i had one car jacked and one other broken in so just want to see how paranoid i should be....

 

You should move, then buy your Fit!

 

lol people stealing fits? i have one and im not paranoid.. but i worry about my eg hatch everyday...

 

its not like fits have high hp motors that thieves want so they can swap them in their nasty rusted out cars..I don't worry about my fit getting taken, more like...worried about shopping carts in parking lots. lol

 

The only reason a fit would be broken into is for your personal items or take your Rotas.

 

I have a 08 fit and its an awesome daily great on gas no theft concerns(just get gap ins. and if the steal it get a new one)

 

i think it all varies by location too, here in phoenix people will steal anything for a quick buck

 

Out in Chicago I have read a few stories recently where thieves have gotten so desperate for "Sweet OEM Honda Wheels" (like SI's, GSR Blades, LS Meshies, GSR Fat fives) that they have begun to steal the OEM Fit Sport wheels.

I'm not sure if this is happening everywhere in the US, but I have read a few stories about it in Chicago. I have even seen a few $250 sets of 08 Fit Sport wheels with low mileage original tires so... who knows.

As for me...I usually worry more about shopping cart dings and idiot drivers more than theft with my 08 Fit Sport. It doesnt have anything that theives can easily swap into their cars (obviously except our wheels)

 

Location Location Location.

 

IMO the stock 09 fit sport wheels are fugly. When I got my Fit I told the dealer to take them things off and just give me the credit but they would not do it...lol Would have love a set of Silver slips.

Anyways with a Fit you should not worry about anything cause like everyone have said our cars don't have a DOHC engine or anything of value unless of cause your Fit happens to have a K now that is a different story.

The only thing that is of value, well slight value in my fit is the GPS which costs me $100 but you can take the GPS off and just hide it in the glove box when not in use. Other then that I think it''s pretty damn safe right now.

Don't let other factors detour you from getting what you want, if it will happen then it will happen cause that is life so go get your Fit and enjoy it like we are now.

hahahah

 

im not to worred i put 2 different alarms in to my fit. just to be safe. lol weird but it safe

 

Fit is a car some love, and some hate. It's not like a Civic or Integra where everyone is (was) a fan. We all once had a Civic or Integra. And there is also the income factor. A Fit is expensive, you got to have job and $$$$. With that much at stake in life, a Fit owner will not be out stealing (Not saying all Fit owners are good, you know what I'm saying).

True up to a point. But they will find you. I used to live in a 500k+ neighborhood, and a HT member used to live near me. His supercharged Civic (and the works) was stolen from his driveway. He was a night owl. His daughter came home at 3am. Car gone next morning. No one heard a thing. The car was never seen again.

 

what kind of alarms did u put it on.

 

Nice alarm and a big gun! lol

 

i second that!!!

maybe 2 big guns

 

arent they supposed to have inmobilizer? the only way to steal it would be to tow it or at gun point... lol i dont think someone is that stupid like to car jack a fit owner and think he will get far away like if its a rocket......
