2009 Honda Fit vs. 2007 Honda Fit

2009 Honda Fit vs. 2007 Honda Fit

Written by: shneor on Nov 01, 2008 00:37 PM

I owned a 2007 Honda Fit Base Manual for a couple of years; it was totaled in a freak 1-car accident. A couple of months ago, I replaced it with a 2009 Honda Fit Base Manual. One of the main reasons I purchased a Fit is the size of the cargo area. The 2007 version was perfect, with the wheel wells shaped so that they allowed sufficient width for the equipment I load a couple ... Read More...

Honda Fit Wheels and Tires

Re: 2008 honda fit base [myfit]

Not trying to be a wise guy here... :) The light will go out once you properly inflate your tires. The light comes on when one of your tires is a lot lower than the others or when all of your tires have gotten a bit lower than they should have. Mine comes on each year about this time as the weather first gets cold and the tires lose pressure. You cannot disable the TPMS. Federal ... Read More...

Honda Fit Suspension/Steering Questions

2007 Honda Fit - Electronic Power Steering EPS Intermittent Failure

Written by: tecon on Oct 29, 2008 05:38 PM

This morning when I started my car to go to work the power steering did not work. It was a cold morning - 40 degrees (cold by Florida standards). I googled the problem and found this forum. Per forum information, I tried restarting the car a few times, which did not solve the problem. I called Honda at 800-999-1009, described my problem and the common problem in this ... Read More...

Article Comments - 2009 Honda Fit First Drive / Full Test

That's why Honda says the Fit is GO, not STOP?

Written by: dweiser on Oct 29, 2008 07:21 AM

I found two other reviews that tested the stopping distance of the 2009 Fit. Not terribly reassuring; maybe (hopefully) the Car & Driver Fit had a unique (to it) braking problem, sure hope so. "Our best stop of 134 feet is longer than average for such a small, light car, and we suspect the 10 feet of additional stopping distance compared to our 2007 Fit is largely ... Read More...

Re: Airwave [widetrack2000]

I could also use more info on the Airwave. Though I don't know how the host will feel about discussing that vehicle in this thread. That said, although from the pictures the Airwave may look a bit like a minivan such as the JDM Odyssey, in reality it is a much smaller vehicle; it is a small wagon. But compared with the Fit, it has much more cargo space and a larger hatch ... Read More...

Service Engine Light On

Written by: kagedude on Oct 18, 2008 04:44 AM

While driving and coming off the highway, the service engine light on my 2007 Honda Fit Sport 5speed with 73k miles came on. Read the manual and it states its an emissions issue so although car will drive ok, bring it to the dealer. I went back on the highway and tried to engage the cruise control - It now doesn't work. I'm wondering now if the problem is the cruise control ... Read More...

Honda Fit with Hidden Hitch

Written by: gary80 on Oct 04, 2008 06:52 PM

I installed a "Hidden Hitch" brand hitch on my 2007 Honda Fit. It took about 20 min, involved removing and replacing about 5 bolts. It could not have been easier. It comes with the incert to attach the ball and it has the correct rise to get the ball to a standard hight. I tow a 200 pound 8 foot trailer with 300 pounds of blacksmithing equipment on city streets without ... Read More...

Honda Fit Prices Paid and Buying Experiences

Great Dealer, Great Buy!!

Written by: shneor on Sep 25, 2008 09:19 AM

After working for three weeks with the dealer I bought my (unfortunately totalled) 2007 Fit from to no avail, calling a dozen dealerships from LA to Auburn, and an auto broker (who did find me a base manual, but not a color I wanted) I finally hit the jackpot with Stockton Honda, and a salesman named Rick. I was looking for a Base Manual in Tidewater Blue. There were, ... Read More...

Re: Trailer Hitch for Honda Fit [cruzitude]

Written by: 26pt2runner on Sep 12, 2008 10:42 AM

We ordered a 2009 Fit and hope to take delivery in a couple of weeks. I too would like to install a 1.25" hitch for carrying bikes. There are a number of manufacturers that show 2007/2008 Fit applications, and it does look like it would be an easy install - Hidden Hitch provides installation instructions in pdf format. I do caution you that from what I understand, ... Read More...
