2008 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

This is my sixth 'new' Honda purchase, all others were Civics, both manual and AT,and I've never experienced such low mileage,in spite of driving in the same manner for 35 years. I average 20 (TWENTY!) mpg, with city/ highway combined. On one 'semi' long trip the mileage climbed to 24. Now, I am still below the supposed 1,000 mile 'break in' point, but do plan to have the vehicle examined, as I purchased it for its size, ease and mileage! GUARANTEED? Should the mileage PROBLEM be solved, I'd recommend this vehicle highly. There are options one can purchase to solve any concerns listed below. Most owners report great mileage. The MT FIT gets up to 40,as DOES my 1991/MT Honda Civ-140K!
Best car I've ever owned

The Honda Fit was purchased for economic utility, and it serves those ends admirably. It is very well designed and, as far as I can tell at this point, very well manufactured. The interior space, when all the rear seats are folded flat, is amazing. The front seats are fr more comfortable than they look, although the upholstery seems to attract every bit of fluff in the area. It's not a vehicle that flourishes at high speeds; the engine becomes very busy and high-speed stability is not a strong point. But for the purposes cited above, I know of nothing to equal it currently available on the market.

The AC is weak and cannot overcome the black interior in the sun. A light gray interior needs to be standard. The seats need help, I have a strong back and never have back ache, but the seats on the Fit are bad on trips over 50 miles. Seats are also too hard. Rear visibility is blocked by the rear seat head rests. Tire noise is excessive. The "smart key" costs a fortune for less anti-theft benefit than a cheap "Club", and returns an insurance reduction of only $8 a year(10% off the theft portion), about a tenth the replacement key cost. HOLD TIGHT On the positive; the engine performance is adequate. The car is quite, tires excluded. The headroom is excellent, and leg room is great.
Still lovin it!

I bought this car two summers ago and it has been a great car! I was used to driving my 3000GT but I needed something more reliable and fuel efficient. After 2 months of research, I decided to go with the Honda Fit over the Toyota Yaris and Dodge Caliber and have been happy ever since! This car has great performance, and GREAT gas mileage on the highway(usually between 34-38 going 75). The gas mileage in town has been a bit of a disappointment however, I usually only get in the low 20's. This car has worked extremely well going through the snow in North Dakota winters. I was a bit skeptical that I would like this car when I bought it, but I am so happy I decided on the Honda Fit.
