  • Whats not to like? - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    I have been driving my new Fit for over one week and am thrilled with it! I also own a Civic and an Accord and I love my little Fit. It may appear "little" on the outside but the inside is huge. It handles and rides to perfection. Its a high quality vehicle and the gas economy meets and exceeds all expectations. I love the arm rest on the driver side and flexible cargo space in the back. Its got plenty of pick-up and the dashboard gauges and controls are very conveniently located. The 6 speaker Radio has great sound. Honda had a winner with the 2008 model and now they made it even better. Whats not to like?

  • Preliminary review - 2009 Honda Fit

    I will add more to this review later, but my initial impressions are very good. I dont have a long commute or drive a lot as other Fit consumers do, but I still got this because I know Hondas are reliable, I like the new Fits design and performance specs compared to the older versions and I wanted to be environmentally conscious. I sold my 2001 Jeep Cherokee and am glad to finally be past the SUV phase of my life. Getting used to the 4 cylinders will be interesting, because the Fit just doesnt have a lot of power. But its so low and aerodynamic that it still zips around and is fun to drive. So far I love the Fit. I think its a great value for the money in this economy.

    I kinda miss the peppy feel of the 07fit. The 09 has less of the go cart sensation and I miss that a bit. Im not getting as good as mileage as the 07 did but then again, the 09 is a lot more car. I haul a lot of hobby stuff (even put a hitch on the 07 ssshhhh dont tell, I put one on the 09 too) and you cant beat this car for what it can swallow up!!

  • Lovin it - 2009 Honda Fit

    So this is my very first Honda (owned Fords before this and will NEVER go back!) I love this vehicle. I am getting great gas mileage (about 38-40 mpg) with about 90% highway driving. Driving home from work I am relaxed and comfortable and the sound system is wonderful. Am able to plug in a USB (jump drive) and play music straight from it and switch between sources with the touch of a button. Also the space is great! The seats are easily adjusted and everything is just perfect! No blind spots at all. There is also an armrest which is a plus. This is also my first manual transmission and its easy as could be. I would recommend this car to anyone! Also love the panoramic view! AC is great too!

  • If it does fit, you must acquit... - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    I really wanted to buy a TDI Wagon. I almost did. As a matter of fact, I was an hour away from signing the check for it. Then I test drove the Fit. It was over. Fit 1, TDI Wagon 0. The TDI engine is solid, no doubt. Its the rest of the car that STILL makes me nervous. Plus, Ive always been a Honda guy, and after my last two Civic both went 200,000 miles without a single issue (and I do mean, none) other than air filters, oil changes, and tires, I have no reason to believe that this particular car will be any different. The Fit did fit. Besides, I am getting 45mph without hyper-miling it that much. I mean, the EPA numbers are a joke, I can beat those hot dogging it with the AC at full blast!

  • 09 honda fit - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Ive owned the 2009 Fit for just one week, but I have some valuable feed- back so far. Surprisingly, I have averaged between 34-35 mpg on my first tank of gas, significantly better than I expected. I read earlier customer reviews that complained about the 2008 fits inadequate Air Conditioning. I understand their concerns but I think I have found the reason for their complaints. The front seat passengers are exposed to quite a bit of sunlight with the position of the windshield and the tall side windows. The AC is fine, but when you are exposed to direct sunlight, you will feel hot. Window tint is essential to remedy this concern.

  • 2009 Fit Sport - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Ive just purchased 2009 Fit Sport (auto) and drove around town today 06/10/2009. Excellent handling & outstanding fuel economy. My (mix driving on both freeway/city, highest speed is 75-80 and slowest speed is 30 plus many stops) average mile per gallon is 41.9 - Great visibility/performance/handling/space. I believe I can bring 9 or 10 more miles per gallon when the engine breakdown (mix driving). Test drove Insight 2010, Prius II, Civic Hybrid 09, Civic 09, Accord 09, Camry 09 but only felt in love with Fit 09. Just share with you all about the drive-out price as well: $18.2k (wheel lock, cargo tray, carpet floormats included).

  • "Fits me so well` - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    Ive only had my Fit ~ a week but in minutes I was overwhelmed. Im short and have never been this comfortable in an automobile. I can put my feet flat on floor and feel like Im wearing the car. It responds to my every move. The little triangular windows front and back give the best vision Ive ever had. I though Id like the color best (orange) but there is so much more to this wonderful car.

  • Fits fine - 2009 Honda Fit
    By -

    My fit fits our family fine. It turns on a dime, and is comfortable on a 600 mile trip. Needs one more power outlet for TV and Play Station. Plenty of cup holders. Just adequate power, not a race car. Im getting on average nearly 40 mpg.

    We truly enjoy the performance of this vehicle. Even though Honda Fit has a small engine, it picks up speed easily. We have no problem recommending this car to our friends.
