  • Whats not to love? - 2008 Honda Fit
    By -

    So I had a Prius on hold across town, to replace my pricey Lexus, which had been costing me $200 a month in gas. But $28K is a lot of money. So on impulse, I drove into the Honda lot and saw Fit looking at me. He was hot! Drove like a dream, the folding options make him one big origami machine (for my gardening/furniture/ kid stuff). Im getting over 30 MPG for $10K less than a Prius.

    Just bought it, so I cant comment on reliability. Its a blast to drive and get good gas mileage. It was reasonably prices.

  • Very Versatile - 2008 Honda Fit

    I can carry passengers in comfort and almost anything I want. Its huge inside. I love to pull up to the door at Home Depot ready to load in a screen door and some 9 foot molding and see the look on everyones face! Its really fun too.

    I love this car. It handles great and mileage is better than advertised. We get 34-41 mpg city. My husbands feet have trouble with the pedals. He says there is not enough room for his feet if he is wearing boots.

  • My first Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
    By -

    Well, I really like this car. Runs smooth, very easy to get use to it. Even though, this is a small compact car, I still have the feeling of driving a very well built, very good quality vehicle. Before I purchased it I had visited other competitors in the same class and this car had definitely won the interior design contest for me. Gas mileage in the city is around 29/30, its not bad, but not very impressive either. I recommend this car to anyone who wants to save money on the long run, prefers good quality, not looking for something fancy and doesnt have a big family.

  • Fabulous Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
    By -

    Were thrilled with our Fit sport. It has delivered great gas mileage, 30MPG around town, 33-38 MPG highway. Its interior is well thought out and comfortable. For an entry level car, the interior materials and quality are superb. The exterior design is excellent. The Sport trim gives the car a better look versus the standard model. While its not a rocket, the engine has some pep and good torque. The hills in our area are no problem for motor. When the A/C is on, the small displacement of the engine robs some of the power. The handling is great for this little car. Its a firm ride, the lower profile tires dont help, but the trade off is you get crisp handling and grip. I like the steering too

  • Fun, Practical, Great Value - 2008 Honda Fit
    By -

    We bought our Fit last September. Had to order because they were in short supply. It is a manual transmission, the only way to go in my opinion as it is very peppy and fun to drive. Have been getting up to 44 mpg in ideal conditions, but usually in the mid to upper 30s with a mix. Strictly town it has been under 30mpg at times. So, mpg varies widely depending on how you drive and what kind of traffic. The manual transmission is so fun to drive that mpg can suffer from that. (The best mpg is conservative driving.) It has an amazing amount of cargo space and that is what really sold us on this car. We keep the back seats folded down almost all of the time. We love this car!

    This car amazes me with all the space this car has to offer, I was looking for a wagon but I cant afford the price of VW Jetta, Passat, Audi and some other wagons on the market, the Honda fit is very useful, affordable & very well made, excellent handling, nice ride
