Used 2008 Honda Fit Consumer Reviews
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.
Not that small
My new Honda fit look small but is huge inside, very smart design. Very quick consider 109 hp. Gas mileage so far 30-32 mpg mixed city & highways very stable at any speed especially on curves, it handles like any other car I drove before. Honda did a excellent job on this model
Sporty and Fun to Drive
I purchased my 2008 Fit in November 2008. I test drove several different models before selecting the Honda Fit. I studied reviews of all models for fuel economy, price, resale, and environmental impact. The Fit was my choice and is a purely fun to drive. The mileage was 29 mpg during a sever Wisconsin winter. I am now getting a average of 33 miles per gallon in a mix of highway/city driving. The flexible seats make this a work horse for me when hauling plants, boxes, and other items. Larger then you would think interior fit four comfortably. I have my MP3 player hooked up to the port and listen to that most of the time.Speaker system rocks!
