  Better than expected - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Brett - July 3 - 1:06 pm

  This car is terrific. We just took our first road trip and packed the vehicle to the gills. Two road bikes in the "magic seat area", two large suit cases, a small one, a box of food, laptops, hanging clothes, and more in the rear. The car was very comfortable up front for my wife and I and got just under 40 mpg during the highway drive. Obviously some of this wouldnt be possible if we had kids, but this is all the car a couple could need in every respect.

  Fun and versatile - 2008 Honda Fit
  By WGE - March 30 - 11:10 am

  When it came time to replace an old Caravan, I wanted something smaller and fuel efficient, yet with good, intelligent use of interior space. I considered hybrids but felt the premium paid to get this technology just wasnt worth it. All the subsequent research I did kept pointing directly to the Honda Fit. I looked at the competition, but only ended up test driving the Fit. After that I was sold on the car. So far in the first 1000 miles, we have averaged about 37.5 mpg and with full break-in Id love to push that over 40 mpg. It gives me all the economy I was looking for and it is really fun to drive. Now I wonder if we should trade in the Grand Caravan for another?

  Take Two - 2008 Honda Fit
  By MisterC - August 29 - 5:30 pm

  After losing my 2007 Fit in a bad multicar collision my dealer got ahold of an 08 Fit sport for me. So far, car is nearly identical to the 07. The only major new feature is the government mandated tire pressure monitor system. Corrected from the 07 is the giant bar of rubber wiper blades that were notoriously loud in all but the heaviest of rains. Theyve been replaced with more standard looking blades. Windshield fit seems to be improved as well (the 07s have problems with rattle/whistling windshields that are corrected with some silicon sealer) Overall a great fun car to drive, lots of room for stuff, and easy on the wallet both at the dealer and pump

  2008 Milano Red Fit, Sport - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Pasadena, MD - July 29 - 1:13 pm

  When going to the Honda Dealership I was looking into purchasing a Civic. I only wanted to spend $ 15,000.00 on a car. I noticed that I was not geeting rims, spoiler or fog lights with the Civic. The sales repp showed me the Fit and I was worried because I have never heard of it. Come to find out the Fit had better seats and better options in than the Civic. The Fit is really comfortable and sporty looking. I have been very happy with it. The 1st day I took it to work the whole office was asking whos red honda is parked out side? Its very nice. I have been able to haul stuff to the dump. My Father In Law has been reading the reviews and really loves the car himself.

  Frugal Downeaster - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Frugal Downeaster - June 15 - 10:43 am

  My criteria was simple - an economical, inexpensive, high quality vehicle that could carry a companion, a bike, a kayak, personal "stuff" and not require a small mortgage payment when I stopped for gas. The Fit is all that and more with a 5 star insurance rating and is actually fun to drive - - especially around town, or on curvy back roads. Honda has proved that "inexpensive" doesnt have to mean "cheap". This vehicle has more secret storage spots and room than many SUVs Ive driven. Oh - - and did I mention 32 to 38 M.P.G.!

  Fit for a King... a Queen, and 2 dogs - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Chirsg619 - June 6 - 11:20 am

  When we went looking for a car, we had never heard a Fit much less saw of one. After having seen one, my wife said "It looks like if got punched in the nose." Needless to say, we were less than impressed; at first. Once we saw the type of room inside, you can fit an Alpaca for Gods sake, we were intrigued. After the test drive, it was time to do some online research. A week later, we drove home in our new little buddy. I parked my Mazda RX-8 in the garage and was able to pay for the Fit with gas savings alone. After 6 months, we already have 20,000+ miles on it and it still runs like a champ. The only issue was a dent received in a parking lot and a cracked windshield. We love it!

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Fit
  By adkmehrman - October 10 - 6:06 am

  I have had the car for about a month and simply love it. I test drove every other car in the class and the fit was by far the best car. I live in the mountains and commute over 100 miles a day to and from work on winding roads, and this is by far the most fun I have had driving to work. This cars handling rivals many sports cars. I was initially a little worried about the small engine but it seems to be fairly pepppy. The cars interior especially the magic seats are truely first rate. I put the back seats in tall mode and put a blancket down on the floor and it is a perfect place for my dog to ride. I have been averaging about 34 miles to the gallon with fairly aggresive driving. Love it.

  Love My Car! - 2008 Honda Fit
  By LeahInLaguna - July 21 - 11:06 pm

  The last time I filled my Jeep it cost me $74, and vowed the following weekend to get rid of it. I wanted a Honda Civic, but after driving that and the Fit I was hooked on the Fit! This is an amazing big car stuck in a little car body. The outside appears to be so compact yet once inside there is so much room its unbelievable. I am happy with aspect of this car so far. The cargo capacity is huge and the comfort is whats expected of a small car, so not bad at all. The ability to maintain in traffic is there, I have no trouble with acceleration or braking; I am so pleased with the performance I sometimes forget I am driving a compact car! I would recommend to anybody with kids and pets!

  Quality discomfort - 2008 Honda Fit
  By Dave - February 16 - 1:50 pm

  This car was a big disappointment after driving it for a couple of weeks. The engine, build quality, fuel economy, and fun to drive factor were all there. However, the seating position and lack of a dead pedal left me feeling very uncomfortable. The gas pedal is too close to the driver, which resulted in constantly lifting ones foot off the accelerator in order to properly control the throttle. Move the seat back too far and you cant reach the clutch and steering wheel. Also the lack of a dead pedal (or even a flat spot), leaves ones foot on a round bump. This was such a shame because the car really zips around and is fun to drive.The new FIT is out this fall & I advise to wait.
