  Unbelievable Value - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Connecticut Man - July 8 - 7:20 am

  Just got the car a month ago. Originally read that it would be too small for me. Im over 6 feet tall. This car is big enough for me and people taller than me with no problems. It has huge interior and cargo area. It performs like a sports car. Unlike other people reviewing this car, I have no problems with road noise at 80 mph, and can hear the radio just fine. It has a stiff suspension so on bumpy roads, these will transmit into the cockpit, but on most good roads the ride is quiet.

  Love it - 2008 Honda Fit
  By mec - July 7 - 6:00 pm

  Ive had my 2008 Sport Fit for 6 weeks. I purchased it for two reasons: fuel economy and the ability to park in those tiny San Francisco street spots. I recently took a road trip of about 500 miles. I was amazed that even with 2 teenagers, loaded with camping gear and driving w/ the A/C on I still managed 40 mpg. Amazing.

  Fit - Great Decision - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Linda - July 7 - 12:00 am

  My 2008 Fit handles smooth and swift yet sturdy and quiet. Very pleased at the quick acceleration for a small car. Surprised at the great amount of space inside for both front and rear passengers plus storage/hauling space. Great versatility and unique options for folding down the seat backs and magic rear seats. Great mileage: City 29-30 mpg, Highway 39-40 mpg.

  2008 Honda Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By CCurtis - July 6 - 9:08 pm

  This car has exceeded my expectations. It is fun to drive and great on gas mileage. (36 MPG on mainly rural and city driving.) It can fit four people comfortably and has lots of room for storage. It corners and hugs the road like a champ and I just took it on the freeway and it did great. It was actually hard to not go over the 70 MPH speed limit. The noise level was normal for this size of car and not much different then the Accord that I just had.

  Fitting the fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By William Turk - July 6 - 3:03 pm

  The Honda fit brings something new to the world of compacts standards. Everything that was called an option before is now standard. Loads of airbags, ABS power windows, the works. Its all standard. Sure somethings could have been better, but for the most part, having standards doesnt make me ask the dealer to fetch a model that has all the features I want. Only drawback is that I dont see myself using this car for a cross country road trip although the loads of space and adjustable seats does suggest that it would be a good idea. Great for a daily commuter.

  So Far, So Good - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rainsinvelvet - July 5 - 12:07 pm

  Ive had this car now for about 3 months and have put close to 3000 miles on it. So far, so good. It is really fun to drive. It drives like a sports car, and handles extremely well. It feels super responsive. Minor complaints: It has developed a slight rattle/squeak in the dash when on a slightly bumpy street. Also, the A/C will sometimes smell bad when first turned on (this goes away after 10 seconds or so) I need to take it to the dealer as I hear this is a common problem with newer car AC systems. Otherwise, I cant think of anything bad about it. Ive been recommending it to friends that are looking for a new car.

  So Happy With This Car!!! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By JOANIE - July 4 - 10:07 pm

  The Honda Fit is a great car for the money. You get a little bit of everything. Great interior, fun to drive, great on gas and I believe it is called a "Fit" because you can fit everything in is it feels so roomy on the inside. You have got to check out this car!!! With gas prices now I cant tell you how many people stop me in parking lots and ask me about my fit. I love it!

  Got the second Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By WGE - July 4 - 5:31 pm

  I get to write another review because we got a second Fit. After such a good experience with our first Fit purchased at the end of March, we found we could hardly bear to drive our Dodge Grand Caravan too ponderous and the gas mileage was atrocious. The Dodge was a 99 with 120K miles and was beginning to need work. We got an internet deal lined up for a Milano Red base 5-sp manual for MSRP and waited a month to get it. So we are now a two Fit family. My Democrat wife gets the Tidewater Blue Fit and with my Republican leanings I get the Milano Red Fit, so we are properly color coded. Humor aside, these are truly great little cars with a wonderful combination of economy and utility.

  Not a CHEAP car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Ross - July 4 - 1:19 pm

  Bought the Fit to replace a Mazda5 (destroyed in a crash) And I was worried about "downgrading" I shouldnt have as the Fit is a fabulous little car to drive. I put LOTS of miles on my cars every year so interior design and comfort are very important to me. The Fits seats are actually some of the best I have sat in ever, much to my surprise coming from the Mazda which had chair height seats. This car is NOT underpowered for every day driving, I live in the mountains of WV and so far the Fit has zero problems climbing hills in fifth gear. Best of all is an average fuel economy of 40 honest to god MPG for my 70 mile one way commute, it doesnt get any better than that.

  Great car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By wptinker2000 - July 4 - 11:23 am

  After reading up on the fit for a year or so, I decided to buy one in Apr 08. The gas mileage is great, averaging 35 mostly city. I average 33- 35 and when driving mostly freeway I avg 35-38 so a little better than expected and the main reason I purchased the fit.It is very smooth compared to my Nissan Truck-it will depend on what you are used to. I take long trips to DC and Philly-about 500 miles and my right leg cramps up so long trips can be tough if you dont take a lot of breaks (I usually only stop twice and for very short periods of time.) The 2009 has a arm rest and other improved features, recommend waiting, supposedly will get over 40 but love the 2008, no regrets.
