  2008 Honda Fit Sport 169k BULLETPROOF RELIABILITY - 2008 Honda Fit
  By taushamccarthy@yahoo.com - November 18 - 3:33 pm

  Seats are stiff - thats my only complaint. Like others have said, car is bulletproof reliable, has awesome cargo configurations, and no significant repairs. I have found the original tires to be meager - at best. I had to have them replaced at 40k miles. Brakes done twice, tires twice and thats it. Everything works on the car and the rear cargo seat configurations have been fantastic! I drive it like mad - cross country multiple times, which is when the stiff seats bug me. They dont bother me otherwise. The car is an economy car and mine is a manual, which gets me about 40mpg. I drive the automatic and felt like the manual got much better performance, but I also just like manuals. All my cars have been sticks - this one has a tight gearbox, which took some getting used to - but I have had no issues with the transmission (or anything for that matter). My gf has a 2009 with about the same mileage - its also a manual. Theres very little difference between them drive-wise. Sound is good and I love the USB. The rear seats fold flat or fold upright for better vertical space. I have been surprised what all I can fit into it. I have used it to move multiple times. It handles really well. Im finished with grad school now and feel like its time to trade up but I cant find anything that is as solid and fun to drive. All these newer cars seem to have issues OR get crappy gas mileage OR come with a huge monthly payment... so for now, Ill be keeping this one.

  I like the fit more than my old Civic - 2008 Honda Fit
  By ctscream - March 6 - 3:37 pm

  When my 1999 Civic was stolen and would have cost too much money to repair I was heartbroken. I didnt have much money at the time and couldnt afford to buy a new Civic (and the new ones didnt appeal to me) so I started looking at more affordable cars but really didnt want anything but a Honda. The Fit was a perfect match for me. What made me attracted to it was the hatchback and extra trunk space because I barely ever have passengers. When I had the Civic it was always a pain to fit things in the trunk and fold the seats down with only 2 doors. It felt cramped especially with passengers in the back seat.

  By tommyhonda71 - February 26 - 2:20 pm

  I purchased my 2008 Honda Fit Sport in January 2008. Ive had it 3 yrs now and never had a problem. Rides very quite, handles awesome and is quick. Love the style and runs well on gas. I only have 15,000 miles over the 3 yrs.

  Excellent, Only Minor Complaints - 2008 Honda Fit
  By ozziepuppy - October 10 - 2:00 am

  Awesome room inside and very creative use of space. Friend had leg surgery: We were able to put down the front seat (flat) & she sat in back with her leg completely extended. Transported a 9x12 rug with no problem. Got 42 mpg on a road trip out west. Minor complaints: the Sport trim hangs too low and gets scratched up easily. My fog lights have both broken twice (not protected enough?). No map lights. Road noise. Overall, though, a nearly perfect car in terms of economy, excellent use of space, being fun to drive, and (dare I say it?) basic cuteness. This is an AWESOME car for the price!!

  Great! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rog - August 4 - 3:35 pm

  This car has been nothing but great! In any given week I am commuting over 1000 miles, I live in Maine so this means in snow, ice, and summer humidity and this car sails through it all! I can seemingly fit almost anything into it, and I know it is as safe as it can be while driving my daughter around. It is far and away the best car I have ever owned.

  Great for tall people - 2008 Honda Fit
  By fitfitfit - July 26 - 9:37 am

  We are a family of four who have had our Fit for 2.5 years. People are continually surprised that my husband, at 67", can even get into such a small- looking car. He even fits in the back seats, which seems to be true for most Hondas, but not other makes. The Fit also has ample headroom. It is fun to drive, easy to park ANYWHERE, gets great gas mileage, and has a highly versatile interior. We also love the 6 speaker sound system.

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Todd T - June 30 - 10:37 am

  Went from a truck to the fit during the gas hike. With fuel prices back down, I am still very happy with the car! It is small, still spacious on the inside. We drove across country with our two Young children without issue. The ability to configure the seats provides many options in storage and cargo that you cannot get in other small vehicles.

  Still lovin it! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Josh - May 14 - 3:32 pm

  I bought this car two summers ago and it has been a great car! I was used to driving my 3000GT but I needed something more reliable and fuel efficient. After 2 months of research, I decided to go with the Honda Fit over the Toyota Yaris and Dodge Caliber and have been happy ever since! This car has great performance, and GREAT gas mileage on the highway(usually between 34-38 going 75). The gas mileage in town has been a bit of a disappointment however, I usually only get in the low 20s. This car has worked extremely well going through the snow in North Dakota winters. I was a bit skeptical that I would like this car when I bought it, but I am so happy I decided on the Honda Fit.

  Glad I got it.... - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Gringotimo - April 1 - 7:26 pm

  I got my Fit at the end of December and have driven it through ice, snow, rain, and dry. So far, I am completely satisfied in every way. As many reviews I read stated, it exceeds the stated gas mileage under all conditions. By driving around 65 mph, it usually gets around 37-38 mpg on the highway. No dragster, it still has enough pep to handle most situations easily. One of the few negatives Ive noticed is the design of the rear roof posts. When backing out of a diagonal parking space, the one on the right rear corner obstructs the drivers view not enough to be a hazard, more of a nuisance. Overall, its a nice handling, comfortable, little car that feels like a much larger car.

  By michelle - January 12 - 1:17 pm

  We just bought our vivid blue Pearl fit. It is just beautiful. We love everything about it from the blue lights on the dash to the great gas sipping. We will buy hondas from now on.
