  Wow! Thank You Honda - 2009 Honda Fit
  By RRL - July 21 - 11:48 pm

  Honda had the guts to build an almost radical design, and make it fun to drive. Bravo! It is almost as exciting to drive as my old 87 CRX SI. Quite an accomplishment. Gear ratios make good use of engine power. Hauling space is impressive. AC is plenty cool. Seats are more comfortable after broken in for a couple of months. Weve had our Fit for six months, our actual mileage is 30-32 city and 36-38 highway (not what the dash shows) ours didnt get more mpg after break in, but it always exceeds EPA ratings. Overall this is a very impressive car for the price with typical great attention to detail by Honda.

  Outstanding Value - 2009 Honda Fit
  By FitSport - July 16 - 10:37 pm

  Ive owned many cars in my lifetime and this is the first time Im compelled to write a review. First, I bought a used 2009 with 7200 miles on it saving almost $4k. I chose the Sport model because it has cruise control and paddle shifting-really fun. My last 500mile trip averaged 48.5 mpg @70 mph and thats with 3 adults and weekend luggage. Around town Im getting between 40-43 mpg. Wish a sunroof is available but I can get by w/o it. Highway driving is very stable. The fit and finish is a definite 10. The 2009 model is far better than previous model years. I love this car - wont win any races but at 40+ mpg you cant go wrong.

  Love my Fit!!! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By locarbgal - July 16 - 8:54 pm

  I have only had my Fit for one week and I love it so far! I drive 21 miles one way to work and also do some marketing which requires extra driving so I needed to get rid of the old Taurus and get something with good gas mileage. The Fit so far with only 350 miles has gotten an average of 34.4 mpg which I am thrilled about! I am going on vacation next week and cant wait to see what kind of mileage I get!

  Fave Vehicle Past 34 Years - 2009 Honda Fit
  By FITFAN1 - May 17 - 2:00 pm

  I have owned 12 vehicles since 1975, both foreign and domestic, cars, SUVs and pick up trucks. I purchased a 2009 Honda Fit Sport AT with the paddle shifters. What a great economy car! Owned it for 30 days and the fuel stats are super. Worst MPG was 29.9 with the first tank of gas and that was mostly stop and go St. Louis metro driving. Overall mileage is 38.4 MPG after 900 miles. One highway only driving trip averaged 44.9 MPG while the computer estimated 46.9 MPG. I have 60% city/urban and 40% interstate driving. Paddle shifters are great, radio reception superb, picking up many weak and distant stations in St. Louis market. Interior space and comfort are tops. Engines smooth and quiet.

  Fit - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Pixie - April 4 - 10:43 pm

  So I have not had the car for very long. I just got one. It was a tough decision between the Fit sport and the Scion xD. However I am very happy with my choice. I love the fit. being an art student I have so much stuff I need for classes it fits it all nicely. I highly recommend it. Smooth ride Im getting about 31 mpg with mixed city and highway. I got the black Berry Pearl.

  First 1200 miles in my new Fit - 2009 Honda Fit
  By larryteck - March 10 - 7:40 pm

  I am loving this car so far. Averaging 37MPG on my daily 50 mile RT commute and over 39MPG on 250 mile road trip. I have grown to really like the paddle shifters in manual mode, and this from a "die-hard" manual shifter. For a sub- compact there is tons of room and think the rear seat flexibility is very well designed and functional. I find the highway ride a bit harsh and noisy, especially over expansion joints. But overall, this rates as one of the top 3 cars I have owned and I have owned nearly forty cars!

  Leader of the pack - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Rebmo - March 3 - 7:53 am

  My wife just picked up her Honda Fit Sport with nav this weekend and really loves it. Cant say much about reliability since we just got it, but the last 2 Hondas we had were trouble free. Traded an Element and dont feel short on space. The visibility, comfort and features are really great. Its good to see a manufacturer offering some high end features in a sub-compact. The nav is very nice out ot the 3 navs we have. Visibility is great with all the glass. Im 6-2.5 and fit fine in the car. Ride is very comfortable. Not a powerhouse but didnt expect it to be, and its adequate for normal driving. The exterior is really nice with the sport package in metallic grey.

  Right Car At The Right Time - Part 3 - 2009 Honda Fit
  By David - February 18 - 10:56 am

  Wrote my first review about 6 months ago & then wrote another a month later after being extremely impressed with the fuel economy. Well, Im still very impressed, as this car has managed to deliver 37.5 mpg consistently since my purchase. Bottom line, something is jacked with the EPA figures, because most Fit owners get much better mileage than the reported 27 city/33 hwy. I also think the car desperately needs a 6th gear, as the gear ratios are way too short. I can only imagine how much better the hwy mileage would be if there was a tall 6th gear. Plus if the ratios were more spaced it would quiet down the engine noise, as the engine spins at 4,000 rpms at 80 mph which gets annoying fast!

  Highly overrated - 2009 Honda Fit
  By steve - January 13 - 2:20 pm

  Do not believe the hype. The engine is buzzy and the transmission hunts for the right gear. The ride is extremely bumpy, you feel everything. The seats are uncomfortable, and cant be height adjusted. You would never take this on a trip longer than 25 miles. It has beautiful styling, but thats all. A huge disappointment that I bought into because of all of the raves from the so-called car experts. Im trading this in on a larger and more comfortable car.
