  • Back to the Future - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    I bought my 2009 Fit Sport 5-speed manual in January 2009, and I am really happy with my purchase despite some suggested improvements (see below). In some ways the Fit seems like the reincarnation of my 1980 Civic 1500 wagon, but with lots of evolutionary improvements. I also considered the Mazda 3 hatchback and the Suzuki SX4 Crossover, but the Fit’s combination of styling, roominess, and economy was impossible to beat.

  • Everything I Wanted - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    We bought a white Honda Fit in November and just love it. I did a lot of research before deciding on the Fit and dont regret my decision at all. In fact, I dont feel envious at all of those more expensive luxury models on the road. The Fit is very practical, but still manages somehow to have a sense of fun. Many people who thought I was crazy for buying a Fit are now very impressed. Overall, a very well thought out little car that doesnt feel cramped.

  • Fantastic value!! - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Wanted to downsize a little from my 2007 Acura TL-Type S. Test drove an 2008 Fit to see what was all the hype. It was great. Couldnt wait for the 2009. Went to my local dealer and put a deposit on one even before they came in... the car was that much in demand. Glad I did. It is amazing. Not as fast (or flashy) as the Acura, BUT, it is so nimble and just plain fun to drive. The folding rear seats (up and flat) allow for an AMAZING amount of room! Dont miss the Acura at all. Average just around 37-38 mpg in city driving... and sometimes I really push using the paddle shifters :-). Test drove many cars before I settled on the Fit. Easily outclasses ANY car in its class. Get one!

    Honda just keeps setting the bar on fun to drive, quality, intelligently designed automobiles. During these times of high gas prices, this car is truly the best alternative out there. I have driven the car for 600 miles in almost all city driving and have gotten 30 mpg. I have owned other cars that had the same or better EPA estimates that did not come close to this mileage (usually 25 mpg). With 2009 all models get telescopic a telescopic steering wheel that allows anyone a comfortable driving position. In the sport version you get a lot of nice extras. The ride is excellent in this vehicle. The balance between handling and comfort is perfect. The navi system is also excellent.

  • Fell in love with the Fit - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Just bought my Honda Fit Sport-it was love at first sight. Great car, Honda has at least a 9+, in this one. Interstate driving is a breeze, When I started looking I was gong to check out the Toyota Yaris, but stopped by the Honda dealer first, and that is as far as I got. It rides great, is sporty looking, and has great fuel mileage and its not even broke in yet.

  • Better than ever! - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    I bought an 07 Fit which I loved. After visiting the dealership for an oil change I saw the 09 and had to drive it. I dont know how, but Honda, once again has proven it can make the best even better. I bought the 09 with navigation and love it. Now I own two Fits. After years of being a Chevy driver and switching to these Hondas I will say I dont miss having my car in the shop every other month; and to top it off, Honda actually honors their product warranties unlike Chevy. I guess thats why some are making it in this economy and others arent.

  • I LOVE my Fit! - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Ive been driving my AT Base Fit for three months now and couldnt be happier with it. I love everything about it. Just drove 300 miles on a highway at 75 mph and got 40.4 mpg. The Fit is a really great car!

  • Honda Fit Sport 09 - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    I agree with all the positives that people have included in their reviews. I look forward to driving my Fit each day. I have read many of these reviews and have been surprised that not one person, as far as I have read, has complained about the door panels where your elbow rests. If you use your elbow and lift yourself up a bit to adjust your seating position, it causes these areas to now be cracked underneath the fabric. You cant see it but you can feel it with your finger if you lightly push down on it. This has now happened to both front doors and one of the back ones. I hope it is covered under warranty.

  • New owners input - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    After driving all US products, most being of the midsize or full size variety, I am pleasantly impressed with this Honda import. It is a far cry from the FWD 4cyl cars from the 1980s I had driven and it brings some Asian/European design characteristics that have been sorely lacking from US products. My other vehicle is a 2000 Ford F150 with a 4.2L V6 and 5 spd manual OD so the Sport paddle shifters were something I liked rather well given that I want to have more control over gear changes. My wife loves the regular auto mode for her driving. It is fast enough for normal mortals and feels firm and responsive. It is too early to give MPG, but did 26.5 on a mixed test drive at dealer.
