  Worth the money - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rkvl - April 1 - 10:26 am

  We needed a utility vehicle, and the Fit is really great. The seats that fold up are great for transporting our dog while the seats that fold down really help in carrying larger loads. The fuel economy is great. I drive only short distances to work and school, but it also does really well on the highway. I havent taken it above 65, however. Not sure what it would do at faster speeds. The style is also great. I got a black one, and people really say it is a sharp car. I recommend the Fit highly.

  Question about seats - 2008 Honda Fit
  By monkusbee - March 3 - 8:30 pm

  Took an 08 Civic ex-l for a test drive. Loved everything about it but the seats. I drive slightly slanted to the right and the side bolsters started digging a hole in my ribs after 20 minutes. Can anyone tell me if the Fits seats are the same?

  Over all a good car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By 700312 - January 7 - 10:43 am

  First, going from a V6 to a 4 cyl engine is a huge adjustment. The blue back lit display is very easy to read. Nice large display. My biggest complaint is that the engine does not like to accelerate. Especially from a stop. Once it gets going it is ok. I recently moved and being able to fold down the back seats flat helped a lot in moving. Given the attention to safety that Honda gives, it is too bad that the ABS, traction control, and stability control are not standard features. The steering wheel does not telescope so I am having to reach and there is no center console. I have been doing mostly city driving in heavy traffic so the gas mileage is not what it was advertised to be.

  I recently purchased a honda fit for my daughter and she absolutly loves it. I was quite sceptical about it at first but after driving it and using it for storage purposes it is truly an amazing little car.

  Best Car We Could Have Bought - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Don - August 14 - 9:23 pm

  We needed a good commuter car that was reasonably priced and good gas mileage. After reading all the reviews I could find, it became apparent the Fit was the way to go. We were sold on it at as soon as we test drove one. In our area it was hard to find the Sport with the manual transmission. We love this car, it is amazing how such a small car can fit 4 large people fairly comfortably. For the price it is the best deal out there.

  Great Gas Saver - 2008 Honda Fit
  By JETMECH - May 19 - 1:06 am

  Drove a pick-up for the past 20 years. Due to high gas prices had to find something a little more gas friendly. Stumbled upon the Fit at my local dealer and thought I would give it a try. WOW, I was not disappointed and bought it the next day. Mixed driving getting 36-39 mpg. Drove 350 miles on 9.1 gals. The rear fold down seats create lots of room. Have to fold down the smaller back seat for golf clubs. Handles great!!! Honda has done it again.

  Blue Honda Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Danny Raiwnsky - March 30 - 8:56 am

  The only mechanical problem is the a/c does not cool properly. The car has lots of design defects. The buyer is required to accept options whether they want them or not. I dont want electric mirrors, door locks, or windows. I do not want power steering. There is no leg room for the driver if the seat is moved far enough forward to reach the steering, or if the seat is moved back far enough for good leg room the steering is too far from the drivers arms. I do not want side curtain or any other air bags. I absolutely do not want ABS and I will disconnect it. I would have liked variable speed intermittent wipers. Ride is harsh. Interior black color is hard to keep clean.

  Fit Rules - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Pleatia - January 9 - 10:43 pm

  This car runs and runs fast. You will think there is a bigger motor than the mini mill. All the Honda quality is there and not any real issues. You may have to live without a few items, but the gas pump will not make you pay. The lack of a dead pedal is not a problem either. The driving position is a bit awkward on a long road trip. It is workable however. This car is highly recommended. Keep looking and find a dealer who will work with you and dont buy from the arrogant Honda dealer.

  Gets the job done! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Mitch B - December 10 - 12:00 am

  I have a 160 mile round trip commute. I went from a 2007 BMW 330XI to a 2008 Honda Accord EX L to the 2008 Fit SPort M/T. While it does not provide the comfort or the sizzle of the other 2 cars, it gets the job done. Just hit 1000 miles and have averaged 40+ MPG mostly bumper to bumper highway driving. Paid $15,000 plus $1099 for 5 yr 100K ext warranty. I kept the 2008 accord and just the savings in gas pays for the fit and the insurance for it. I will be in the "black when I pay $3.90/gal (next week sometime)
