  Awesome Downgrade - 2009 Honda Fit
  By MOATES - November 13 - 3:03 pm

  I have been in an Acura TL-Type S for 3 years and debated downsizing to something less expensive and fuel efficient. I saw the 08 Fit and was waiting for honda to make improvements like VSA and Nav. I decided to order the 09 Fit Sport and have NEVER regretted this decision! I have researched hybrids & know that the environmental impact of the battery system is massive--so will wait for some new tech. BUT I was shocked when taking a road trip in the Fit and saw that I was getting 46 mpg going 65 mph on hilly, curvy highways!

  Perfect Car for me - 2009 Honda Fit
  By GatorTom - August 30 - 9:10 am

  Got my 2009 base Fit in September 2008, so have now driven it for nearly 9 months. It does everything I had hoped from great gas mileage--35 mpg in 90% suburban driving--to cargo carrying. (I have hauled an extra large size electric range, and my bike will fit in the back with both wheels still on). Mileage dropped to 32 mpg in the 20 degree temperatures of December and January but is back near 36 mpg in May. It is really fun to drive as well as cute and functional. Im heading on a 1500-mile road trip to south Florida from Asheville next week so will report on highway mileage and trip comfort after that but everything so far is really great.

  New 09 Fit - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Becca - July 23 - 1:36 pm

  Ive had my Fit for about two weeks now. It truly is a "BIG" little car. Amazing how much room is inside and how zippy it is. I think it cools really well in hot sun. I am also pleasantly surprised because Im getting right around 35 mpg - and that is mainly city driving (75%). Im very pleased so far with this vehicle and would recommend it to anybody.

  Fuel economy is exceptional - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Helen P. - July 6 - 10:53 pm

  Have purchased 09 Fit Sport (auto). Never feel any regrets to have it. With 500 miles on it and the fuel economy is exceptional: 39/44.5/42.5 - Hope (and believe) to get new MPG of 40/48/45 pretty soon. Would recommend this new (2009) Fit to anyone who really like the big saves.

  Happy with purchase - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Pedrooch - May 30 - 1:13 am

  I purchased my Fit in March of 2009. Ive had the car for 3 weeks now, and love it. I purchased my Fit as a second car, my primary car is a Honda Accord. I purchased the vehicle, because I travel to clients daily, and I wanted a car that was good on gas, reliable, and comfortable. I looked at the Toyota Yaris, I didnt like the center dash, and the Scion, but I liked the Fit better. The car is very roomy inside, Im 60 and weigh over 300 Lbs., and Im very comfortable, even on trips over 1 hour. After 3 weeks, I have no complaints at all, and Im very happy with my purchase.

  This car breathes - 2009 Honda Fit
  By sandan - May 18 - 2:46 pm

  Im 63 200lbs and plenty of room to spare in the car. I love manual transmission cars, and wow is the Fit a real treat. Theyve designed the engine in such a way that there is always enough over-lapping torque. Ie. Downshifting especially in traffic is extremely smooth. As a result, Im never hesitant about going in overdrive. Unlike almost all other manual shifting cars, the Fit seems to always get enough air into the engine. It feels like it has the lung capacity of Michael Phelps inside Shawna Johnsons body. It may sound odd to others, but I actually love to drive this car slow. The engine really knows how to purr with little sips of gas.

  Great mini-car! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By LSLHF4L - April 17 - 10:53 pm

  Purchased the Fit 1 month ago today. Have since traveled 1500 fun loving miles. It has taken awhile to get used to some quirks (rear suspension, higher center of gravity), but am glad went with decision to buy. Its hard to believe the Fit is Hondas new "entry level" - there are many items standard which were upgrades, or not available, on prior car (2000 Civic LX). Looking forward to many years of ownership.

  Great Little (big) Car - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Jim Davis - April 13 - 7:50 am

  We bought the Fit Sport to use as a short to moderate distance economy driver and it has served very well but it took a while to warm up to the ride (very stiff). The handling is very good though and there is an amazing amount of usable space considering the vehicle dimensions. Power is adequate (with the automatic) but by no means sporty. The transmission works well and I appreciate the paddle shifter option (keeps the transmission from shifting up and down so much in hilly country when using cruise control). Front seat comfort good, visibility is outstanding. Controls are easy to use and gauges easy to read. Great city car & adequate cruiser (wind moves it around a lot on the highway).

  Didnt think it would be this good - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Tim - April 11 - 6:13 am

  Had our Fit Sport a month now with no issues and we are getting 38.5mpg. Much better than posted. It is fun to drive, pretty peppy and everybody likes the way it looks. It is roomy and really great visibility.

  Update After Month Of Ownership - 2009 Honda Fit
  By David - March 12 - 3:53 am

  I had to update my initial review because I was amazed at the gas mileage after my most recent fill-up. I set the trip meter to zero at my last fill-up and filled up again last night with 237 miles on the trip meter. It took 6.29 gallons to fill up completely which means I got 37.7 mpg! That is with a 40/60 mix of city and hwy driving at average hwy speeds of 65 to 70 mph. I generally shift at between 3,000 rpms and 4,500 rpms, so Im not babying the car either. What is even more amazing is I just broke 1,000 miles today and Im getting that kind of mileage. Imagine how much better the mileage will be after the engine if fully broken in. I love this car!
