  just what we need - 2008 Honda Fit
  By about time - April 17 - 4:13 pm

  Love this car, fun, quick, great ride for a car this size. I looked at a number of small cars the fit was a hands down winner, you cant beat the amount of room in this car. The first two tanks of gas 35 mpg the next two 39 mpg cant wait to hit 40+, anyone who isnt geting 30+ needs to slow down.

  Its Purple! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By seeremlive - April 2 - 3:03 pm

  I traded a 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad cab 4.7L V-8 for a 2008 Honda Fit 1.5L I- 4? What was I thinking? Ill tell you what I was thinking. After 3 months of research and test drives, this is simply the best car, period. It may not be as large as a Hummer or as cushy as a Caddy, but this beats just about every other car on the market in the price you pay versus standard features and gas mileage. This results in much less engine noise. After 2000 miles. I commute 50 mi each way half interstate half stop and go. I have yet to get less than 33 MPG averaging 78 on the Interstate portion. And I can still pack in 8 2x6 8ft boards. FYI... At 70 MPH the AT runs the engine 1K RPM lower than the MT.

  We like it - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Ron - March 2 - 5:46 am

  My wife and I own a nice Sienna, but she was driving it over 30,000 miles a year, mostly on short errands. A ridiculous amount of wear on an expensive car and one that burns lots of gas. I bought the Fit so the Sienna would last until my kids are grown. Originally feared my wife would not take to the Fit, but both she and I like it and it now gets almost all the local miles. We drive the Sienna on trips and to church weekly to keep the engine cleaned out. The Sienna is a nicer ride, but for local trips the Fit is not only acceptable, it is much easier to park.

  Fun and Practical - 2008 Honda Fit
  By wdb - February 18 - 4:03 pm

  I wanted a commuter that was inexpensive to buy and own, good on gas, and had a big hole in the back. The Fit "fit" all of those. To my great surprise it is also a total hoot to drive. Light, quick and nimble, perfect for country roads and city streets. Also holds its own on the highway. Complaints; fairly minor, all to do with driver comfort/convenience. I added an aftermarket dead pedal and home-made drivers door armrest pad. Next is a "Genuine Honda" center console, special order from Japan because they do not offer them here (Japan gets nav and climate control too!) Ill also do map lights. 37+ MPG avg so far, mix of commuting / local jaunts. Hope ScanGauge gets me to 40 :)

  Outstanding economy and utility - 2008 Honda Fit
  By tedguy - February 14 - 2:33 am

  I traded my 04 Accord, as I needed more space and maximum mileage. The Fit hasnt disappointed. I average 36- 37 mpg in open and rush-hour driving. Ive carried lots of cargo, including a 46" TV upright right behind the drivers seat. Seating configurations are great. Its easy and fun to drive, maneuver, and park. The only thing I miss from my Accord (which I loved) is the automatic temperature control.

  Honda Fit for a Queen and the Big Guy - 2008 Honda Fit
  By grandma - January 31 - 8:56 pm

  Inside its a big car, drives like a little car, parks anywhere and is FUN to drive. My 63 husband can finally sit up in my car. Adjustable seat belts mean I dont get choked anymore. Total city driving Im getting 27+ and a 50 50 mix Im getting 33. The dash panel is full of information, easy to set/reset everything with good outside noise insulation (for a small car) and easy to use radio, heater, and ac while driving. Love the idea of extra cargo room and even nap time with the fold down seats. Glad I finally own a Honda! Looking forward to a long life. Ill give it 5 stars overall.

  Ive been had. - 2008 Honda Fit
  By damian-fonseca - December 28 - 7:43 am

  The mpg is far lower then what is been advertised the AC is a definite problem. 250 miles on its 10.8 gallon tank, this is the real deal. Im not surprised it only lasted 2 years with a new remake now in 2009. Heads up dont believe the hype.

  i LOVE my Honda Fit Sport!! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Matt - May 12 - 7:40 pm

  When the first Fits started hitting the road I was happy to see Honda start selling this smaller, Japanese-city styling car in America. I am a single male with a dog and I dont need these huge gas guzzling cars that everyone is driving! The fits looks great, inside there is much more room than it looks, from the drivers seat you would think you were driving an Acura. Top quality materials everywhere, instrument cluster with big, bright easy to see instrumentation, great stereo with cool blue illuminated face, plays my mp3 player, lots of storage space, lots of Glass for a big view out, great leather wrapped steering wheel. And the automatic has paddle shifters on the steering wheel!

  Such a good buy - 2008 Honda Fit
  By roeroica - March 3 - 7:10 am

  I had a Geo Prizm before and wanted something that gave me at least the same MPG (30-31). This car gives me 38+ if I drive on the freeway, with the AC on. Amazing! The magic seats are fun and definitely useful. I realized that it is usually me by myself or with a passenger and its useful to have all that room for cargo. People say the backseat is roomier than my old car as well. The lowest MPG I got was 34, and that came after driving really fast on the freeway. I got this car for under 15K and it was worth every penny. More expensive than the Yaris, but worth it with the safety features, etc.
