  So Far, So Good - 2008 Honda Fit
  By rainsinvelvet - July 5 - 12:07 pm

  Ive had this car now for about 3 months and have put close to 3000 miles on it. So far, so good. It is really fun to drive. It drives like a sports car, and handles extremely well. It feels super responsive. Minor complaints: It has developed a slight rattle/squeak in the dash when on a slightly bumpy street. Also, the A/C will sometimes smell bad when first turned on (this goes away after 10 seconds or so) I need to take it to the dealer as I hear this is a common problem with newer car AC systems. Otherwise, I cant think of anything bad about it. Ive been recommending it to friends that are looking for a new car.

  So Happy With This Car!!! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By JOANIE - July 4 - 10:07 pm

  The Honda Fit is a great car for the money. You get a little bit of everything. Great interior, fun to drive, great on gas and I believe it is called a "Fit" because you can fit everything in is it feels so roomy on the inside. You have got to check out this car!!! With gas prices now I cant tell you how many people stop me in parking lots and ask me about my fit. I love it!

  Got the second Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
  By WGE - July 4 - 5:31 pm

  I get to write another review because we got a second Fit. After such a good experience with our first Fit purchased at the end of March, we found we could hardly bear to drive our Dodge Grand Caravan too ponderous and the gas mileage was atrocious. The Dodge was a 99 with 120K miles and was beginning to need work. We got an internet deal lined up for a Milano Red base 5-sp manual for MSRP and waited a month to get it. So we are now a two Fit family. My Democrat wife gets the Tidewater Blue Fit and with my Republican leanings I get the Milano Red Fit, so we are properly color coded. Humor aside, these are truly great little cars with a wonderful combination of economy and utility.

  Not a CHEAP car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Ross - July 4 - 1:19 pm

  Bought the Fit to replace a Mazda5 (destroyed in a crash) And I was worried about "downgrading" I shouldnt have as the Fit is a fabulous little car to drive. I put LOTS of miles on my cars every year so interior design and comfort are very important to me. The Fits seats are actually some of the best I have sat in ever, much to my surprise coming from the Mazda which had chair height seats. This car is NOT underpowered for every day driving, I live in the mountains of WV and so far the Fit has zero problems climbing hills in fifth gear. Best of all is an average fuel economy of 40 honest to god MPG for my 70 mile one way commute, it doesnt get any better than that.

  Great car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By wptinker2000 - July 4 - 11:23 am

  After reading up on the fit for a year or so, I decided to buy one in Apr 08. The gas mileage is great, averaging 35 mostly city. I average 33- 35 and when driving mostly freeway I avg 35-38 so a little better than expected and the main reason I purchased the fit.It is very smooth compared to my Nissan Truck-it will depend on what you are used to. I take long trips to DC and Philly-about 500 miles and my right leg cramps up so long trips can be tough if you dont take a lot of breaks (I usually only stop twice and for very short periods of time.) The 2009 has a arm rest and other improved features, recommend waiting, supposedly will get over 40 but love the 2008, no regrets.

  Fit is It - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Lyle74 - June 29 - 11:15 pm

  Put 600 miles on my Fit, just broken in and have no complaints. The handling is superb for an economy car and puts some sports cars to shame. The interior does not feel cheap, seats are perfectly shaped, fit and finish are typical Honda, and the Magic Seats are an excellent feature. Low road noise levels. Gas mileage has been great, but a bigger tank would help extend range between fill ups. A/C could be stronger especially in 90+ degree heat.

  Honda Fit base 5 speed manual - 2008 Honda Fit
  By bob - June 28 - 10:44 am

  Great little car, when I first saw it I thought it was ugly. It grows on you, I really enjoy driving it, holds the road nicely and has averaged 37 to 40 mpg.

  Believe it! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Big Lew - June 27 - 6:42 pm

  Hi all! We never even drove the fit before buying it! It reminded us of our first new 1977 Honda CVCC and that car was one of the best we ever owned. I picked the car up in the Pittsburgh area and drove it back to Lancaster, PA (252 miles). All of the driving was at speeds of 55-70 mph. MPG was 39 and this car had no miles when purchased. I cant believe how quiet this car is. I really was expecting much more road noise. The Fit took all the hills of Western PA without a hitch. Not once did I have to floor it to make it up any hills or to maintain the speed limit. The interior is just flat out perfect. The materials reminded us of our Accord Ex. The handling was perfect. My wife is in love

  I love this car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By JA - May 22 - 1:23 pm

  I bought my Fit a little over a month ago and Im on my 5th tank of gas. Ive havent had as much fun driving a car since my first VW a long time ago. My mileage is great -- between 36 and 38. This is not interstate driving, but short commutes, some city, lots of rolling hills. Im concerned about the clearance since I live where there is a lot of snow and mud. And I wish the seat had a height adjustment -- I use a small pillow. My only other complaint is that the seat fabric and the carpet look and feel cheap. But if youre looking for space, fun, great fuel economy and a reasonable price, this is your car!

  6 months and love my Fit more everyday - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Luv My Fit - March 7 - 5:33 pm

  So it looks tiny from the outside (inside its surprisingly roomy) , and its kind of ugly in an endearing sort of way; but the more I drive this car the more I love it! It is the most functional, fuel efficient, and fabulously fun car I have ever owned. My step-mom has a convertible Saab and my father has a Mercedes S class. You know what? I prefer driving my Fit better than driving their gas guzzling money pits! The Fit corners like its on rails. If you know how to properly use the paddle shifters, the car will straight out fly (because its so light). But if youre stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, just drive it as an automatic. Its unique, easy on the wallet, and flat out fun!
