I love my little orange Honda Fit. It's old and has few bells and whistles, but it's a good "fit" for me. (You're rolling your eyes at that comment, aren't you?) Color is important. I never lose my car in a parking lot and the color looks good with my skin tone. Everyone at the Homestead Senior Apartments knows Louise's daughter is here when they see my little orange car in her driveway. So yeah, get a car that brings a smile to your face.

P.S. Making sure the salesman still gets his commission is very thoughtful of you. This brings a smile to my face.
