  Great car, a few quirks - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Jason - October 14 - 10:50 am

  I bought brand new and now have 25k miles (lots of hwy miles the first yr). Overall, been a great little car. Havent had any problems except a nagging dash rattle that comes and goes very fun to drive. Tons of space for all my junk. Ive crammed 3 mountain bikes along with people to ride them in it without much problem. Good stereo. Gas mileage is decent, Im getting ~31 city, but that reflects my driving style. It has some quirks and lacks some features other modern cars have, but hey, its an econobox. I would recommend to anyone who needs an inexpensive ride. Our first Honda, wont be the last.

  Biggest Little Car Made - 2008 Honda Fit
  By John - October 10 - 3:33 pm

  Great little car. Easy to camp out of, haul strollers, and lumber alike. Some of the other reviews complain about MPG, mine is great. 36 to 40 MPG in town and 45 to 50 hwy every time. We have 35,000 trouble free miles. Stock tires are worn out already but they did excellent in snow and rain! First car I have ever owned - always had trucks and vans, but I have been able to haul everything the van did, still got my old truck though! Took the car camping and got it down the same trail all the 4x4s, only non truck at the camp site, buddies stop making fun of the Fit, well they have more respect anyway. I dont like that my leg hits the cup holders, but at 61" I am still comfortable.

  Love performance and space - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rterry - August 15 - 2:35 am

  I bought it used - 1 year old - and have had for almost a year. Just love it. Great handling. Bought it because I can put grandmas wheelchair behind the drivers seat without having to lift the chair. But come to find out it holds more than our Honda station wagon. Great headroom. Zips up the mountains. If there is a high wind, you can definitely feel it. Just slow down. Only had routine maintenance done. No problems at all.

  Fantastic - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Tom - August 7 - 4:56 am

  I own my own shop and my son who is 14 wanted to "do up " a Honda, so we bought a used Civic with 190,000 miles and added bolt ons.The performance increase was outstanding and gas mileage did not suffer thus I decided to buy a new Honda due to gas prices. I never heard of the Fit but my son did some research. Well we bought the Fit and I must say that around town im getting 34mpg, the vehicle is worth every penny and the comfort level is superb. This vehicle is worth thousands more so get yours while they are still resonable.I rate it 10 out of 10

  What a feeling honda :) ! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rlee - August 5 - 11:43 am

  I recently bought this car as a replacement for my Toyota Highlander. The Highlander is a great SUV but it was killing me on gas. I wanted a commute car with storage capacity and I was impressed by the storage space and the fit finish and power to the car. I could have waiting for the 2008 fit but it didnt have any "must have" features. I bought this car on 5/3/08 and so far its a great ride.

  Great car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By HondaFitdfw - July 21 - 1:40 pm

  A great little car. In 11,000 miles I have never gotten less than 33.5 mpg in all-city driving. Highway avg. between 39-41 mpg. A very flexible design and is great fun to drive.

  Still in Love - 2008 Honda Fit
  By ellenoc - July 8 - 9:40 am

  I now have 5,000 miles on my Fit - all in winter. Average of all fuel use is 36 mpg. When I first started looking for a new car, I fell in love with the Fit. Looked at half a dozen probably suitable models and the Fit was the only one that affected me that way. Everything about it suited what I needed, and test drives on highway and suburban roads were FUN! Still have trouble believing such an economical car has features such as ABS brakes, cruise control, and so many safety features my insurance is no higher than for the 10-yr old car I replaced. And the car is CUTE. Still havent gotten over how cute. Unlike some others, I like the TPMS. Its worked for me.

  2008 Fit Sport, Audio System - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Portulaca - June 13 - 5:33 pm

  This vehicle handles well and is a joy to drive. However, the road noise is greater than what I expected and the radio reception is unacceptable with constant static on local FM stations. The radio is fine as long as the car is not in motion. It immediately begins to crackle when in motion. The car has plenty of power for its size and the gas mileage is wonderful. The head rests are set at a severe angle for short people and cant be adjusted unless a person removes them and reinstalls them backwards, with the angle toward the back seat.

  My Little Big Car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By D.Stephan - June 2 - 7:13 am

  I bought my Honda Fit after my 1997 Chevy Blazers transmission went. I wanted to get something that had a much better fuel economy and better track record as far as maintenance (Honda). I also still wanted to have a vehicle that would allow for cargo in the back. The Honda Fit met all of the criteria. It is so easy to drive, and the fuel economy is great (remember I drive a Blazer, so this is a shock). The only thing that bothers me is the acceleration is delayed and it seems like it races before it kicks into gear. Maybe its because it a 4cyl and Im used to a 6cyl. I also have noticed its worse when you have the AC on. Other than that, I love my Fit. I hope to have it for many years.

  "LUVMYFIT" - 2008 Honda Fit
  By supercore - May 12 - 12:16 pm

  After looking at everything, I decided on my fit, and I am "fit" to be tied with happiness. Mileage is excellent, in fact I just filled it up, and it took 8 gal of gas for 324 miles. Being retired, and almost 70 years of age, I can stay with almost anything on the road. It is comfortable in town and on the road. No wind noise, Cruise control works great, and since I have the "sport" model, I get compliments every day. I almost bought a Mazda 3, but then when you consider the resale value, the "fit" is the only choice. They now have some great "trick stuff" to customize your fit, and I look for excuses to drive it. Oh, I used to drive an avalanche, and loved it. Its an outstanding car, go buy one!
