Such a good buy

I had a Geo Prizm before and wanted something that gave me at least the same MPG (30-31). This car gives me 38+ if I drive on the freeway, with the AC on. Amazing! The magic seats are fun and definitely useful. I realized that it is usually me by myself or with a passenger and it's useful to have all that room for cargo. People say the backseat is roomier than my old car as well. The lowest MPG I got was 34, and that came after driving really fast on the freeway. I got this car for under 15K and it was worth every penny. More expensive than the Yaris, but worth it with the safety features, etc.

We traded in a F150 for 2 fits, so of course the gas mileage is better. Its a good car, floor mats, cruise control, tinted windows, ipod connection all thrown in by dealer. Price wise is good. We pay the same payments for two fits as we did for the F150. Gas mileage good in the beginning, but dropped off majorly after 6 months of driving,in both cars. Tires are an issue. Almost as if they are out of balance, but after taking it to dealer, I was told the tires just need to warm up. Never heard of such a thing. Getting a second opinion on that one. Good car. Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.

Little surprise

I 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 it's zippy to drive. Looks a little strange, but the inside use of space is astonishing. I'm old enough that the safety features appeal to me, and I like the visibility.

Got the second Fit

I get to write another review because we got a second Fit. After such a good experience with our first Fit purchased at the end of March, we found we could hardly bear to drive our Dodge Grand Caravan; too ponderous and the gas mileage was atrocious. The Dodge was a '99 with 120K miles and was beginning to need work. We got an internet deal lined up for a Milano Red base 5-sp manual for MSRP and waited a month to get it. So we are now a two Fit family. My Democrat wife gets the Tidewater Blue Fit and with my Republican leanings I get the Milano Red Fit, so we are properly color coded. Humor aside, these are truly great little cars with a wonderful combination of economy and utility.

My best experience ever

This Sport Fit is just great. I have as much front driving room as I had in a Mercury Sable. Just excellent for a 2 person car. I love it cause the room in the back when the seats are folded down is awesome. This little gas saver is loaded from a base sticker. I mean everything. Stereo is the best sound I have ever heard in a car. If you want to drive in a manual mode in an automatic transmission you can control that with a touch of a steering wheel button. You can gear down fast to a stop. I have had it up against so similar cars I will not mention and this one has class to it. The Sport I speak of. use to pay $65.00 per fill up now only $38.00 for the same distance. Buy one you will enjoy.
