Used 2008 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
My Fit runs like a little sewing machine!
This is my first Honda and due to my age, will be the last car I own. It has been faithful and safe, and reliable. I am extremely pleased with it. It runs better than many of the newer cars.

So Far, So Good
I've had this car now for about 3 months and have put close to 3000 miles on it. So far, so good. It is really fun to drive. It drives like a sports car, and handles extremely well. It feels super responsive. Minor complaints: It has developed a slight rattle/squeak in the dash when on a slightly bumpy street. Also, the A/C will sometimes smell bad when first turned on (this goes away after 10 seconds or so) I need to take it to the dealer as I hear this is a common problem with newer car AC systems. Otherwise, I can't think of anything bad about it. I've been recommending it to friends that are looking for a new car.

Happy with my fit UNTIL 150,000!! BEWARE!
I would say up until a couple of months ago I would rated my Honda Fit a easy 5 out 5 stars UNTIL I crossed the 150,000 mark. I will let it be known I've been the sole owner of this car and have all maintenance done at Honda (oil changes/inspections). Since passing the 150k mark I've had the car towed twice once for a bad fuel pump ($700) the second time because the accelerator coils and water pump went out completely. The second issue ended up costing around $1500 because valve adjustments and new parts. The check engine light has come on several times since and needless to say I'm now afraid of driving this thing down the street. So beware after 150k, it's a money pit!
"LUVMYFIT"
After looking at everything, I decided on my fit, and I am "fit" to be tied with happiness. Mileage is excellent, in fact I just filled it up, and it took 8 gal of gas for 324 miles. Being retired, and almost 70 years of age, I can stay with almost anything on the road. It is comfortable in town and on the road. No wind noise, Cruise control works great, and since I have the "sport" model, I get compliments every day. I almost bought a Mazda 3, but then when you consider the resale value, the "fit" is the only choice. They now have some great "trick stuff" to customize your fit, and I look for excuses to drive it. Oh, I used to drive an avalanche, and loved it. It's an outstanding car, go buy one!
Sooo bummed about LOW, LOW mileage!!!!
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!
