  Good little car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Brother George - July 3 - 10:20 am

  The Fit is a good little car. The storage area and flexibility are unmatched. I bought a new mower and was concerned about it fitting in such a small car. I got the mower in easily and figured I could have carried 2 more (3 total). Amazing. The car steers easily and the gas mileage is decent but could be better. Plenty of pep, both in town and on the highway. No problems. So far mileage has been between 32 and 40, with 35-36 average. Most of my driving is in town or suburban areas. The 40 MPG was on a trip to Dallas. I dont like the silver color, electric windows, electric locks--but there was no choice. The exterior design is cheap (a couple of stripes would help). Not many in stock.

  Fit is It - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Lyle74 - June 29 - 11:15 pm

  Put 600 miles on my Fit, just broken in and have no complaints. The handling is superb for an economy car and puts some sports cars to shame. The interior does not feel cheap, seats are perfectly shaped, fit and finish are typical Honda, and the Magic Seats are an excellent feature. Low road noise levels. Gas mileage has been great, but a bigger tank would help extend range between fill ups. A/C could be stronger especially in 90+ degree heat.

  Great little car, when I first saw it I thought it was ugly. It grows on you, I really enjoy driving it, holds the road nicely and has averaged 37 to 40 mpg.

  Believe it! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Big Lew - June 27 - 6:42 pm

  Hi all! We never even drove the fit before buying it! It reminded us of our first new 1977 Honda CVCC and that car was one of the best we ever owned. I picked the car up in the Pittsburgh area and drove it back to Lancaster, PA (252 miles). All of the driving was at speeds of 55-70 mph. MPG was 39 and this car had no miles when purchased. I cant believe how quiet this car is. I really was expecting much more road noise. The Fit took all the hills of Western PA without a hitch. Not once did I have to floor it to make it up any hills or to maintain the speed limit. The interior is just flat out perfect. The materials reminded us of our Accord Ex. The handling was perfect. My wife is in love

  I love this car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By JA - May 22 - 1:23 pm

  I bought my Fit a little over a month ago and Im on my 5th tank of gas. Ive havent had as much fun driving a car since my first VW a long time ago. My mileage is great -- between 36 and 38. This is not interstate driving, but short commutes, some city, lots of rolling hills. Im concerned about the clearance since I live where there is a lot of snow and mud. And I wish the seat had a height adjustment -- I use a small pillow. My only other complaint is that the seat fabric and the carpet look and feel cheap. But if youre looking for space, fun, great fuel economy and a reasonable price, this is your car!

  6 months and love my Fit more everyday - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Luv My Fit - March 7 - 5:33 pm

  So it looks tiny from the outside (inside its surprisingly roomy) , and its kind of ugly in an endearing sort of way; but the more I drive this car the more I love it! It is the most functional, fuel efficient, and fabulously fun car I have ever owned. My step-mom has a convertible Saab and my father has a Mercedes S class. You know what? I prefer driving my Fit better than driving their gas guzzling money pits! The Fit corners like its on rails. If you know how to properly use the paddle shifters, the car will straight out fly (because its so light). But if youre stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, just drive it as an automatic. Its unique, easy on the wallet, and flat out fun!

  Common sense pic, Florida car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By PROTRACK - February 26 - 3:46 am

  First decision to buy anything was a response to runaway gas prices. I immediately looked to Honda or Toyota. Honda won hands down on price and value. As a previous Honda owner , The Fit being my third I was rest assured of quality and performance. Looks are very contemporary and plain "cool". Im 49. Function was genius. Space inside was smartly engineered. Access to it was smart. This car is tight and precise. I only have 75 miles on it yet so no mileage to report on. I am like a crack addict on withdrawal trying to keep from using all of its power for fun performance driving until break in is over. Serious sports car like control at even moderate speeds. This car will dance on a dime.

  Fit is Go! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By FitIsGo - December 21 - 3:33 pm

  Bought at 08 Fit Sport 5AT in blaze orange in Dec 07 for my 20 yr old son. Was so impressed bought same car for myself 3 weeks ago in Milano red. MPG reading on first 200 miles of driving was 33.3 in mix of city/interstate driving on 12-mile commute. I got my Fit for $50 over invoice which was hard to believe, if stories of $4/gallon gas this summer come true. There are a lot of people driving big trucks and SUVs that get 10-12 MPG in real world driving that are going to be severely impacted. Supply and demand drives the prices for goods and services and if Americans would start driving high-MPG vehicles and cut our national consumption, we would see gas prices fall by $1/gallon.

  Love my new 2008 Sport Automatic. I researched small high mpg cars for about a year before I decided on the Fit. The FIT is a GREAT car to drive. Fun, sporty & economical!

  Economy and utility - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Bryncrrd - November 18 - 1:23 pm

  The Honda Fit was purchased for economic utility, and it serves those ends admirably. It is very well designed and, as far as I can tell at this point, very well manufactured. The interior space, when all the rear seats are folded flat, is amazing. The front seats are fr more comfortable than they look, although the upholstery seems to attract every bit of fluff in the area. Its not a vehicle that flourishes at high speeds; the engine becomes very busy and high-speed stability is not a strong point. But for the purposes cited above, I know of nothing to equal it currently available on the market.
