lol, didnt mean it to sound defensive..the way that a lot of people seem to be having quality issues with the new Fit's coming out of the mexico plant, i was just glad that my Note is holding together very well :)

ive not read about fits with problems from the mexico plant yet (nor do i care to), but yah, when people see mexico they suddenly think poor quality. which is true at times, but not all the time.

my wife's still wanting a small hatch after the 09 fit-sport i have so was thinking maybe get her a note next model year while getting more options for less money vs fit-sport. :confused:

for me, after im done with my '12 fit-sport, im getting a new IS350.

Well she should have more trim level options at least when it comes to the 15 note as they are coming out with the sr trim which is at least kinda comparable to the fit sport, great choice on the is350 though

i was looking at the SV with the SL + SL tech + floor mats. 19.5K

similarly equipped fit-sport EX-L is 21.6K.. this is the only trim that comes with nav and stuff, i think...

my wife hates leather seats... and hates spending 2K extra on 'same thing.' :D

wait for the 2015 model year as they are dropping that whole packaging scheme for the SL+ whatever option you want as well and are just going to call it plain SL trim. also, im sure she will be happy with the NAV unit in the Note, from the video's i've seen it seems to be very responsive and has alot of good features i'm sure she would find useful.

:icon18: don't worry, you wouldnt be the first one to think of that car when you read my thread title

well, the Note is back from Tanabe and all i have to say is....totally freaking worth it, i cant even believe how much more flatly this car corners now with the chassis reinforcements and now a shiny brand new set of NF210 lowering springs! also got a nice shiny new medallion touring axle back exhaust which while sounding totally amazing, has also seemed to free up some more power according to the butt dyno :D wanna definitely thank the guys at Tanabe for hooking me up and also Wais, for pointing me in their direction when i had no idea they were even looking for a car like mine! pics will follow once i get some decent sunlight as it has been a pretty long day, but all in all, definitely worth it getting these parts out there on the market for this car :)

I'm glad you got everything finally worked out, lucky you that they hooked you up with so many quality parts! :tup:
