Mileage disappointing - 2008 Honda Fit
By captrgc - December 19 - 8:53 amSold my Tacoma when the gas prices were high and bought this car because it was so well rated. I am sorry to say that after 5000 miles, I have not been able to achieve more than 30 MPG and the last 2 tanks gave me only 27 MPH... not enough to justify the loss I took trading in my 20 MPG truck.

I love my Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
By Honda Lover - December 18 - 7:40 amI love my Fit. It is a great car that has more room than you would think by looking at it from the outside. Once you fold the rear seats down you have all kinds of room. My family and I have used it for weekend trips and we have plenty of room for everything. It has decent power but if you looking at this car of HP you are looking in the wrong place. It is a great everyday driver and I have never got under 30 mpg in the city.

The BEST Fit in Class - 2008 Honda Fit
By Barry - December 10 - 1:49 pmI have owned the Fit for a year now and LOVE IT!! The gas mileage has been very good 30.1 in town and 47 highway. It is high quality - both in the interior and exterior. No rattles in interior and the fit and finish is very high quality.After looking at Yaris this was the best value for the bucks. I love the folding seats!! This is a fun car to drive, love the paddle shifters. Love the stereo - enjoy the jazz. After working many years for Toyota in service I was impressed by the quality of this car as it far surpassed Toyota. For the Fit nay sayers you really are missing out on the high quality of this car. I recommend this car to all my friends!!

1st Honda, Very Disappointed - 2008 Honda Fit
By UnFit4Me - December 10 - 12:02 pmRattly, horrid in snow, terrible AC/heat venting, windshield is impossible to keep clear in snow/ice, headlight covers hard to keep clear, terrible visibility, tire system needs dealer reprogramming for snow tires, poor door lock system, expensive key, ground clearance too low, fishtails in snow horribly, center vents TOO HIGH, blasting air in eyes, heat and A/C insufficient, gas pedal odd angle and stressful to keep in one position, rear window in rain, in short, in 5 months, too many dislikes - will be selling soon.

Awesome - 2008 Honda Fit
By Labguy2 - December 5 - 12:34 pmWe are 6 months into our Fit and it has been great! Nearly 40 mpg on trips and well over 30 around town. A bonus in that it is fun to drive, and proudly parks next to our CR-V. Sound system is great, headlights brilliant, seats are comfy (I am 65"), interior space and design of seat optional positions are ingenious. I could only ask for a map light and a little more space between the ground and the front end sport trim. It is a jewel!

Only lacks heat! - 2008 Honda Fit
By jlmcphane - November 21 - 8:14 amUp until real winter started two weeks ago, our 2008 Honda Fit Sport has been great. It is a little uncomfortable if it is icey or snowy, since then we cant use the cruise on slippery surfaces and the gas pedal angle is weird. Other than that, I thought it was the perfect commuter car, until I drove it last night at 3 degrees F. All the windows fogged over. If the defrost was on full bore, 2/3 of the windshield was clear. If not, only 1/2 windshield was clear.

Regret buying a Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
By 1111girl - November 17 - 5:12 pmIve had my automatic Fit Sport for about 1 1/2 years and would not recommend it. Gas mileage is only about 28 in city. A/C bogs down engine power and cant cool consistently in heat of AZ summer - goes warm, cold, warm, cold. Inner upholstery is a lint magnet. Biggest peeve - Car is noisy and rattly over-all, with a major rattle inside the dash. Had this from the beginning, service cant seem to fix it. Visibility is poor with huge blind spots on front sides and very hard to see when backing up, especially if you are short like me. Tires go low on air, alignment goes out easily, engine making a high- pitched sound, service says they "cant hear it." Same for rubbing sound when turning left.

Good Car Overall - 2008 Honda Fit
By Jack - November 7 - 12:43 amThis is our second car. We purchased it last week. Here are initial thoughts. As a second car intended for local driving, or as a city car, it is a good choice. The car handles well in turns and grips the road. The driver visibility is excellent, and the stylish interior appears to be of good quality (time will tell). We live in Pennsylvania with some steep slopes; the automatic transmission shifts gears going up hills. On occasion, the engine winds. Since it is a brand new car, Im tentative about putting too much stress on the engine. The gas mileage is very good but not exceptional. One might expect more from such a light weight car.

A little too basic. . . - 2008 Honda Fit
By Nancy M. - October 31 - 6:13 pmIve been driving my basic Honda Fit for a couple of months now, and while it is great fun to drive and thrills me when I fill it up with gas for under $25, I have gotten slightly frustrated with not having a "magic button" for the door locks. Additionally, the gray/black interior makes it very difficult to see inside at night, especially when the inside light goes off immediately when you turn off the ignition. In the high side, it has great cargo space with the back seats folded down, and the sound system is adequate. My last vehicle was a small pickup so I am really impressed with the fuel economy and the ease of handling. Wish I had bought the Sport model now.

Fits your budget and your taste - 2008 Honda Fit
By LoveTheFit08 - October 24 - 12:20 pmI was looking for the best car in the market. I couldnt afford a glitzy sports car, but didnt want a twerpy little car with no features. I saw the Fit and instantly found my choice. Something you might not realize - this thing is peppy around town its got some definite "scoot," especially anything under 40 mph. Moreover, when the conditions are right, and youre not driving with a speeding ticket in mind, you can easily achieve well over 40+ mpg- I have. Im spoiled now to the point that ANYTHING below 34 mpg is BAD. One last thing - - the sound system in the car: awesome. The sports 4 mids and 2 tweeters are what surprised me most. I planned to put in an aftermarket system - no need!
