  Update from one year ago - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Warren - July 23 - 3:17 am

  These past 2 weeks we took a trip from North Haven, Ct. to the exact same location 2 weeks in a row. I filled up when we left and refilled after the return trip both times. This is the first time that we took exclusive all highway driving , up to now it has always been a combination of city/highway. The first week we used 2.44 gallons, traveled 114 miles and achieved 46.7 mpg. The second we used 2.31 gallons and traveled 114.4 miles for 49.5 mpg. We very carefully watch the mpg. slide bar and apparently it pays off. We have been achieving combined city/highway 33-37mpg. since we have owned our Fit base automatic for the past 16 months. -Warren.

  Biggest Little Car Youll Ever Own! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Meredith Lahmann - July 16 - 10:45 am

  I purchased my Fit after 16 and a half happy years with my Civic. I had tested several other cars but fell in love with the Fit. The interior is huge with amble leg room, seats that adjust comfortable with good lumbar support. The back seats are amazing with seats going up for to haul tall items or down for an enormous storage when needed. Unlike my Civic, the back seats are very comfortable. It is a small car so acceleration might not be that of a high performance sport car, but perfectly adequate for town or highway. I am a gentle driver and get 35-37 around town and an amazing 40-43 on the highway. It is sporty to drive with wonderful visibility. I just love this car!

  What a car! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By j - June 4 - 6:57 pm

  Ive been a Honda owner for 25+ years and I love my Fit. Its my favorite Honda to date. Its the most sensible car Ive ever owned. Im getting 33 mpg around town and close to 40 on the open road. Its surprisingly comfortable on long rides. I love its super versatility and its deceiving amount of cargo room. I easily fit a full size washing machine in the back. Maybe thats why they call it the FIT, everything seams to FIT. In my book it beats the heck out of any boxy top heavy gas guzzling SUV.

  Good Fit - 2009 Honda Fit
  By hellcatholly - June 1 - 1:42 pm

  I have had my 09 base/ Fit for about a year now. I love the car! I average about 38mpg. Even on major road trips, packed full of gear I averaged 36. Not the most powerful car, but Id rather have good mileage. My husband is over 6 tall and he has plenty of room over his head(hard to find in a small car)The road noise is considerable on highways, but my previous cars were Saturns so Im used to that. I had to get used to not seeing the nose of the car (since it is so low). I had never had a hatch b. before & had to get used to the corner blind spots while backing up. I also noticed a blind spot at the front window bars while turning into a deep curves, just a matter of moving your head.

  Purpose Built Vehicle DELIVERS! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Lyon[Nightroad] - May 27 - 9:02 pm

  What a great car. The design is sharp and sporty. Handling is superb and road feel is good. The high steering ratio increases its fun-to-drive appeal. I have driven faster cars, bigger cars, and more luxurious cars, but in the end the Honda Fit is a true purpose built vehicle that makes me want to drive to work. Road noise is typically Honda-like but the great audio system makes up for it. The negative consumer reviews thus far are absurd, It sounds like some drivers are let down that it is not a luxury- sport-utility-hybrid super vehicle. It merely takes aspects from each and puts it a great price point. No other vehicle in its class will make you compromise less.

  Mostly Great - Navi needs improvement - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Terry - April 6 - 6:04 am

  Like many, my Fit gets much, much better mileage than EPA. My average over 14,000 miles has been 34 mpg, with a high of 43 mpg on a highway trip at 65 mph. Its fun, fun, fun to drive - I still look forward to driving it every day. The stereo is very good, but not great. People are surprised by how much interior room there is. Biggest complaint is the navi system. The POI database is so bad its almost unusable. Missing lots of businesses and inconsistent naming which makes it really hard to find them.

  Expectations Met - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Catawba - March 12 - 8:41 am

  Bought this car during Cash For Clunkers, but waited to write a review until I saw how it performed during a Vermont winter. I put studded snow tires on and its been fine. Everything else is what I hoped for--fun to drive, trouble fee and consistently gets 40 mpg. I keep the back seats folded flat to accommodate golf clubs, dogs, etc. To keep wear and tear to a minimum, I bought an Elemmat from Murdock Industrial. Its a rubber mat designed for this model and it protects the cloth upholstery. I got the base model, since the only feature on the sport model I cared about was cruise control, but decided it wasnt worth the extra money. Not a luxury car, but great basic transportation.

  Still loving it - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Tonya - March 12 - 3:46 am

  Bought this car over 9 months ago. Still super cute and fun to drive. Had a fender bender a few months back and drove a Mazda 3 rental for a couple days could definitely tell that the Honda Fit doesnt have as much horsepower when compared to the Mazda 3 but I never purchased the Fit with the delusion it was a high performance sports car No mechanical problems to report yet and I get lots of compliments on the vehicle I use the vehicle for mainly commuting around town for work so cant say Ive ever thought it was overly uncomfortable It was a good purchase for the money paid when compared with similar models of Toyota and Nissan

  Great Car - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Dave - February 4 - 9:35 am

  Traded in a Jeep on a cash for clunkers deal. I wanted the most efficient and reliable car I could get. I think that I may have found it. Great mileage, fun to drive and comfortable. Great car for around town driving. Have taken a few 400 mile road trips and it can cruise all day long. Keep in mind that it is a small car and dont try to overload it and all will be fine. A great car for the money.

  Youotta git-one! ! ! - 2009 Honda Fit
  By Sporty 60Youngfella - December 5 - 7:03 pm

  I may be 60 years old, but I dont think like older folks. This car is fun, fun, fun, and way beyond that!! It turns on a dime (gives you 9 cents change), slices thru traffic like a Cutco knife!, and gets 36.5 mpg to boot (city/hwy)!! Steering is quick and takes getting used to. Handling of the car exceeds the org. tire capabilities. My wife & I took an 1100 mile trip in it and she said that the seats are better than her 2006 Accord!! The agility is awesome, even on the hi-way. WOW! The ride is firm, but this is a SPORT! Be sure to leave space from the curb, clearance is limited! The admission price seems high on a Honda, but well well worth it in every respect. After all, this is my 4th Honda!!
