Love My Honda FIT! - 2008 Honda Fit
By Bruce May - January 16 - 9:06 amI just got my 2008 Honda FIT Sport Trim with Automatic. I love every bit of it. It is stylish, fun to drive, excellent room and great gas mileage. The only things needed are power driver seat, intermittent rear windshield wiper with washer, center console, actual oil change specification, automatic headlights on at dark, Also include as standard, floor mats, rear cargo cover, and multiple 12 volt DC plugs and several 120 volt AC plugs. I highly recommend the Automatic Sport Trim FIT, you can go with the automatic or shift without touching a clutch. The AC and radio are GREAT! I also recommend the 8 year 100,000 mile extended warranty, cargo cover and extra window tinting.

Surprising Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
By Great Dog - January 13 - 8:46 pmIve only had my Fit Sport for a month but the word surprise keeps coming to mind. Im a big, 6-1" and,..eh, not dainty. This car is more comfortable than the Dakota P/U it replaces and gets twice the gas mileage. I drove from RI to NY and back with my two sisters in one day, they were both impressed with its relative comfort over 400 miles. The Fit is fun and light on its feet on curvy roads, like driving a go-cart. Im a dog trainer, having space for a pet divider or dog crate is crucial; the seats fold flat in an instant to accommodate even XL crates and theres tie downs in the floor to secure them. Fit, finish, and ergonomics are all top notch at a lower cost than most hybrids.

Great car but lacking in a lot of areas - 2008 Honda Fit
By v724510 - November 17 - 10:23 pmI was excited to get the fit but disappointed when I realized it maxed out at 35 mpg. In reality Im getting 25 mpg and I drive mostly on the HWY. I hear this will get better in time. Right now Honda is purposefully not making many Fits to drive demand. Most dealerships are charging an additional 1500 to every car because of this false demand Honda is creating. Also the Fit does not come with floor mats. When you buy them you cant just lay them down but you need to cut into the floor of the car. What were they thinking with that???!!! Overall I do like the fit. Its fun to drive and looks cool in my opinion. Its a Honda so I trust it will be reliable. Time will tell.

Great car, great price...and its cute! - 2008 Honda Fit
By LT - September 27 - 3:16 pmWe picked up our new car on Friday and I got to drive it off of the lot (I hate that part!) Driving home on the interstate, it hardly felt like I had to apply any pressure to the gas pedal. This car wanted to go! And it had no problems maintaining 70 mph going up a large, long hill! Very zippy and fun to drive. The seat fits me perfectly and its comfy! Im looking forward to the good gas mileage now that gas it topping $3.17 here. The ride is quiet; there is no rattling of any car parts. On the interior, everthing fits together perfectly.

Good little car, but needs improvements - 2008 Honda Fit
By Sam - September 12 - 9:40 pmI bought this car right off the delivery truck...and, at first, absolutely loved it. However, after driving it for awhile, I have found some issues with it, but, all around, and for the price, its a good little car.

Love my fit - 2008 Honda Fit
By icuucme2 - August 26 - 6:46 pmI love my fit, try to find reasons to take it out. Took it on a trip to a national park and it handled great on the highway, and it holds more than my old sedan did. Wow!!!

First Ride Impression - 2008 Honda Fit
By basanch73 - August 4 - 3:43 pmThe 5 spd MT Sport has more than enough get up and go with the 100+ horse at under 2500 lbs. Great handling, but at a cost of firm ride. Of course, firmness lends itself to the noisy buzz at hwy speeds, but easily tolerable when taking the Avg 31 mpg on first tank into effect. And thats before engine break-in. Cant wait to see the MPG #s with a KN typhoon system that adds +5hp at the 5-10K mile mark. Obviously, parking space is no longer an issue anywhere.

Very Happy So Far - 2008 Honda Fit
By Tigercat - June 4 - 3:56 amIm a tall guy (66") who was looking for lots of leg and head room along with good fuel economy, and without spending lots of money. The Fit really fits! The legroom is fine, and the headroom is amazing (over 2"). Ive filled the tank twice now, and got over 37 MPG each time--excellent for a car thats not even broken in yet. Acceleration isnt bad for such a small engine, and I can climb most grades at 55 MPH without downshifting out of 5th. All the useful options (cruise, power, side airbags) come standard on the Sport Fit. I like to drive my cars into the ground (10+yrs typ) so I dont miss the expensive-to-fix Lexus-type stuff at all. My impression is the Fit will go the distance.

More Can Cost Less - 2008 Honda Fit
By Archidive - May 30 - 10:53 pmWell overall I am VERY happy with this car. Last 5 vehicles were 2 Dodge Shelbys, 2 SUVs, and lastly my Acura RSX and I can say that the FIT offers something that I loved in each of those vehicles. I commute about 30 minutes one way in mixed driving in upstate NY. Only getting about 27 MPG which Im a bit disappointed with since my RSX gave me 31 MPG right up until the day I traded it in at 108,000 miles. However, it has been very cold and snowy here and I have been using the heat/fan more than I normally would, so I am hoping my ave. MPG over a year will jump up quite a bit. I am hoping I just dont have the 1 Sport AT FIT that likes to eat gas as much as it does people and cargo.
