Best decision yet! - 2008 Honda Fit
By Louis - November 23 - 1:36 pmWhen I was shopping for my first new car, I think I drove every car in its class. I found little things wrong with every single one of them, except the Fit. I am used to driving the family van, but did not want to buy a van because of how big they are and how much fuel they consume. The Fit has all the good parts of a van with all the good parts of a car. Lots of cargo space for a car this size. Seeing it from the outside does not do it justice. If you look on the inside you will see how much room there is in this thing. I love it.

Sporty and Fun to Drive - 2008 Honda Fit
By Jean - October 28 - 11:10 amI purchased my 2008 Fit in November 2008. I test drove several different models before selecting the Honda Fit. I studied reviews of all models for fuel economy, price, resale, and environmental impact. The Fit was my choice and is a purely fun to drive. The mileage was 29 mpg during a sever Wisconsin winter. I am now getting a average of 33 miles per gallon in a mix of highway/city driving. The flexible seats make this a work horse for me when hauling plants, boxes, and other items. Larger then you would think interior fit four comfortably. I have my MP3 player hooked up to the port and listen to that most of the time.Speaker system rocks!

New Honda - 2008 Honda Fit
By Peekie - August 19 - 12:20 pmJust bought the car a few weeks ago & love it. Test drove others but found the Fit the best. Both myself (63" tall) & my husband (75") can drive it comfortably. This is the only car where he has inches of head rooms. The seat fold-down ability give it the best trunk space I have ever seen for a small car. Also like the ability to fold down the front seat level with the rear passenger & completely stretch out on long trips. Dont know yet about the mileage & reliability but Honda sells an extended warrenty that seems worth it. It is hard to find one of these as they mostly go to Europe & Japan.

My Honda Fit - 2008 Honda Fit
By rob - August 19 - 3:33 amI would definitely recommend this car. Its sporty, got some pep, looks nice because of the standard body kit, and the MPG is awesome. Plus its got the Honda rep behind it. Honda is already affordable overall, but this is the value vehicle for Honda at this time. I am 48 years old and love it. But I would definitely recommend it for a kid going to college and going the normal runarounds.

Not Disappointed Yet! - 2008 Honda Fit
By Happy in FLA - July 26 - 1:30 pmI got one of the first Fits available in 06 when they were introduced (05/06) and I have put 40,000 happy commuter miles on it so far. The car is tight handling and the paddle shifters option works great as a way to zip around traffic without smashing the gas peddle. Ive had zero maintainence issues. Honda did a good job at building a reliable and sporty Econo box.

Surprise! - 2008 Honda Fit
By Bigmark - July 26 - 12:00 amWe went out looking for a used CR-V, something my son could drive. Well after being disappointed in the used car pricing, I walked past the Fit, and asked how much. Next thing I was driving it around the block, putting it through its paces. Now my wife is driving my Pilot, my son is driving her CR-V, and I am driving the Fit. I am a BIG guy, 350+, and this car is still roomy. Quick to react, and it has more than ample power to go down the highway (at the speed limit). It has none of the bells and whistles of the Pilot, but it is more fun to drive. If you are looking around for a commuter, this is the car for you.

Little surprise - 2008 Honda Fit
By Happy owner - July 24 - 9:06 amI was shopping for an economical car that would be small enough to park but large enough to hold saddles, horse equipment, an occasional hay bale, and the mastiff. The Fit is it! My elderly mastiff can get in either through the hatchback or the door, I can loan and unload the cargo area, and its zippy to drive. Looks a little strange, but the inside use of space is astonishing. Im old enough that the safety features appeal to me, and I like the visibility.

Worth Every Penny - 2008 Honda Fit
By Hal - July 9 - 3:46 pmExceeded my expectations. Its fun to drive. Interior is very quiet and feels soo much larger than exterior dimensions. Interior is also very flexible creating a large space with great height. Im 62" and have tons of room (except for right foot). Now I keep my Crew Cab at home and love running around in this. My kids have plenty of room too. Stereo is great. Build quality seems exceptional. could easily make this your only car. So far averaging 31.6 mpg in all city / errand driving...exceeding my expectations.
