  Surprisingly great car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By CaptainZeep - May 24 - 9:00 pm

  A job with a 30 mile commute, A big dog and and a baby on the way all conspired against my Acura RSX. My wife and I looked at a Subaru wagon but were not impressed with the fuel economy. The Fit caught our eye so we took a look. It had all the room and features we needed. After a quick test drive, we were sold. It is very fun to drive and overall very appealing. The space and flexibility of the interior is truly amazing. After waxing the Fit this weekend, my opinion continues to improve. The blackberry pearl paint is flawless. The materials quality, and finish is impressive, regardless of price.

  Seats hurt - 2008 Honda Fit
  By debh - November 22 - 6:36 pm

  I did months of research and test drove the Fit Sport and waited some more before I decided to buy the Fit. I cannot get accustomed to the seats and the clutch. My back and left leg have hurt since buying the car. I have waited hoping my muscles will adjust but no deal-I will be taking the car back to see if the dealership can help a girl out-any suggestions?

  Pleasant surprise - 2008 Honda Fit
  By bpenn - July 2 - 4:56 pm

  This is for anyone like me that was very hesitant to buy such a little car. I wrestled back and forth between the Civic and Mazda3 wagon. When I sold my gas guzzling truck for less than I hoped to get for it I only could afford the Fit. Ive only had this a short time but I could not be happier with the Fit. This thing feels so much bigger inside then what it looks like. I find it to be a huge surprise and Im relly digging this little thing. If you are walking the fence on this car I would suggest taking a long test drive. You may find what I found. This is a great car and Honda will have a huge hit on there hands.

  We like it - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Ron - March 2 - 5:46 am

  My wife and I own a nice Sienna, but she was driving it over 30,000 miles a year, mostly on short errands. A ridiculous amount of wear on an expensive car and one that burns lots of gas. I bought the Fit so the Sienna would last until my kids are grown. Originally feared my wife would not take to the Fit, but both she and I like it and it now gets almost all the local miles. We drive the Sienna on trips and to church weekly to keep the engine cleaned out. The Sienna is a nicer ride, but for local trips the Fit is not only acceptable, it is much easier to park.

  Great car but lacking in a lot of areas - 2008 Honda Fit
  By v724510 - November 17 - 10:23 pm

  I 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.

  Good little car, but needs improvements - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Sam - September 12 - 9:40 pm

  I 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.

  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.

  New Honda - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Peekie - August 19 - 12:20 pm

  Just bought the car a few weeks ago & love it. Test drove others but found the Fit the best. Both myself (63" tall) & my husband (75") can drive it comfortably. This is the only car where he has inches of head rooms. The seat fold-down ability give it the best trunk space I have ever seen for a small car. Also like the ability to fold down the front seat level with the rear passenger & completely stretch out on long trips. Dont know yet about the mileage & reliability but Honda sells an extended warrenty that seems worth it. It is hard to find one of these as they mostly go to Europe & Japan.
