  Disappointingly Lame. - 2008 Honda Fit
  By MFHalb - October 19 - 4:46 pm

  Weve had it four, long months. We dont drive for fun, merely to get there. The lame mileage of 27 in town and MAYBE 36 on the highway (minimum of 1,000 miles needed) make this a lousy deal. Unless you drive with an egg under your foot, the car jack-rabbits to 35 miles-per-hour and then slogs along. If you floor it, it does the same thing, only more loudly. Power to pass on the freeway (where else do you need it?) is meager, and non-existent with the air-conditioning on. The electric window switches arent lighted and are hard to locate in the dark. All doors can only be locked and unlocked from the drivers door. Otherwise you have to key them individually.

  practical but funtional fit. - 2008 Honda Fit
  By marcusjd - October 11 - 1:58 pm

  The first tank of gas I got 33 mpg, wow! Better than my 07 Civic lx. The last tank I got 37 mpg. The car has 2500 miles on it. I just wish it had a 6th gear. Motor revs very high at highway speeds around 3500 @ 70 mph. Keep at 60-65 and you will see great mpg. The car is fun and nimble you can squeeze in and out of traffic with ease. Dont expect to outrun anyone the car is not that fast. With this car you must drive smart, keep the momentum or youll find yourself downshifting. Overall comfort and room is excellent stereo is good too. Too many good things to say about this car. Nothing really bad. I mean what do you expect from a $15,000 car. You get your moneys worth. No problems to date.

  Its a Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Nancy Sandoval - October 10 - 6:30 pm

  We traded in our Kia SUV Sorento for the Fit. We love it. It performs very well, is comfortable, cute and tons of room when the rear seats are down. We have gotten 40 mpg on the open road..up and down hills in Virginia. We have had the car for 7 months and would recommend it highly

  The Fit fits. - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Kristin - October 9 - 5:03 pm

  I have had my Fit for 3 months now, its my first new car and I love it. It fits so easily into tight parking spots, can turn in incredibly small areas and has plenty of room on the inside! However, I am only getting about 20-22 mpg.. WAY less than was advertised and the front lower spoiler that comes standard on the sport is too low. It scrapes whenever I have to go in or out of a driveway unless I am creeping very slowly, which doesnt work if I am entering or crossing traffic. But all in all I love my Fit, it is much superior to my 98 Saturn that I was driving. I would suggest this car to anyone who enjoys driving and often find themselves with a car full of people

  Great Purchase - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Finnie - September 20 - 2:52 pm

  We bought the Fit due to the great gas mileage and the design of the folding back sit. It works great! It is a very versatile car. The back holds a lot more than it appears to be able to hold. The gas mileage is between 27 with mostly city driving to 41 with all highway driving. It has a good average of 30 to 32 MPG combo. The only thing I wish it would redesign is that the gas tank hold more than 10.8 gal. It seems to go through gas faster that way. A 12 to 13 would be great. I average about 280 to 400 miles per fill up. This car is a great buy. Plus another added feature is it shows percent of oil life so it takes the guess work out of when to change the oil. AC works great too.

  Solid and fun - 2008 Honda Fit
  By dyussen - September 19 - 2:26 am

  I bought this car after tiring of reliability issues and gas cost with a Jetta 1.8T Wolfsburg; the flexibility in storage space came in handy my first week. I was sold on this car before I even drove it, but then was even more impressed with it. It is fun and peppy to drive despite not having a giant engine - cant beat the fuel economy short of spending double for a Prius, and it is solid design. Inside fuel cover area fills takes water during car wash, cheaped out on some little things (awful stock Dunlop tires), TPMS is a terrible requirement - makes winter wheels expensive!

  dont hate if you dont know how to drive! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By i H8 dee-te-dees - September 16 - 5:00 pm

  I cant stand people who give truly bad reviews then end with but its a good little car! car handles great, gas mileage is better than sticker! trust me, my car only knows 2 speeds, park & 75. Honda really did a great job with this one, compared to all in its class and by far the fit was the best in its class hands down! better equipped than the yaris and more fun to drive than the versa!

  Slightly dissapointed - 2008 Honda Fit
  By chin - September 9 - 1:17 pm

  Got the fit sport 5 speed.after 2000 miles, the average MPG is around 33. strictly highway around 37.expected more from such a small car.(coming from a 02 Chevy Prizm) I drive the speed limit, slow starts and all the tricks on the book. 109hp feels weaker than 105 hp on a 96 geo prizm. engine screams at 70 mph.(over 3500 rpm) the good: perfect transmission, one of the best Ive seen. fun to drive.responsive engine.quality interior for the price.Honda reliability (hopefully)

  Fit for me. - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Clifton - September 8 - 11:41 pm

  The Honda Fit has been a great car so far. Not only do I average 32-33 miles per gallon (less on E10, unfortunately), the tight steering and quick shifter makes every drive enjoyable. With only 109 horsepower its not a stoplight racer, but the 1.5 L mill is more than adequate for driving in the city and pulling the Fits ~2600 lbs up to highway speeds. While its no plush luxury car, the Fits interior space belies its diminutive size, as four people can fit in the Fit in relative comfort. Then with a few clicks of the "magic seats" you can fill the car with furniture, boxes, etc.

  great car , bad mpg - 2008 Honda Fit
  By harry - September 1 - 1:11 pm

  I am electrician and service eastern n.c. I keep record of all gas used. In 3 mo 13,000 miles and 400 gal = 32.5 mpg thats 95% hwy. I have gotten in one tank 27 mpg to 43 mpg in another tank. Most tanks average 30-32 hwy driving on the flatside of Raleigh nc to nc coast. My best hwy mpg has been driving Raleigh nc west to winston- salem nc. I have had it to dealer 4 times and they say computer said everything is working properly. I got the car for the high mpg. gas prices are my enemy. I owed a 91 civic and got 37 mpg. Wish I still had it.
