No I haven't because it's not like they are unavailable here. There
are some on the road and some dealers in Northern California get them
in, but because they are relatively rare and in demand there is still
a premium above the Civics and Accords that are well stocked. I'm
holding out until they are selling for the MSRP and below. I just
need to keep my 91 Accord running until then. Or maybe I'll get
something else.

One thing I really like about the Fit/Jazz is that the front seats can
fold down to horizontal for a cat nap mid day. Anybody know of any
other small economical cars that do that? I don't think the Scion Xa
has that feature.
