It's been a very economical car for me and very low cost to maintain. It's also a blast to drive, making the daily commute grind much more enjoyable than it would normally be. My biggest gripe would be the front seats definitely could be more comfortable.

Very fun car to drive. Excellent gas mileage. Honda reliability. Looks great, inside and out. A bit of road noise on the highway. However, great stock sound system. Acceleration can become very weak with the A/C running. This is not so noticeable in local streets but mostly on highways. An air-filter-element change is definitely needed; the stock paper air filter element is just too restrictive. Recommend a K&N replacement. The basic warranty is only for 1 year though.

Road noise. I don't like how the car looks side ways. It doesn't have a visor mirror in the passenger seat. The gas tank is unlocked. The yellow lights on the dash panel won't dim and disturbs me while driving at night.

I think I've owned the Honda Fit Sport long enough to give an unbiased review. Is 14k miles enough? hehe After having owned 1 Chevrolet and 3 Saturns, a chain of events led me to want to buy something safe, yet economical. I decided on the Honda Fit Sport. On top of standard ABS with EBD, Front, Side, & Side Curtain Airbags, the Sport came with a body kit, alloy wheels, cruise control. fog lamps, and an upgraded stereo. My Fit Sport is also equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission, a class exclusive. The AT on the Sport also comes with paddle shifter. The high-revving 1.5L engine produces 109 bhp & 105 lb/ft torque. The acceleration is about normal for a car of this size. The brakes bring the car to a stop nicely. Steering and handling are some of the Fit's high points. I've improved upon that by changing out the spring and installing an Eibach Pro Kit, which while improving handling also lowers the car around 1.5 inches. As a side note, be careful when driving a lowered car, especially around curbs, dips, and speed bumps. Also, the A/C is adequate, but not up to par with one from General Motors. This may be expected from the combination of a small motor and the fact that this car wasn't originally meant for the US market. There is also a lack of automatic locks, which lock the car either when you put the car in gear or start rolling forward. Whenever you take a drive, try to get into the habit of locking the doors manually. In addition, the stock Dunlop tires are amongst the worst tires I've ever ridden. You feel it in wet weather. I can't wait for them to wear down so I can get a better set of tires. Inside, the controls are laid out nicely and don't look cheap. I just wish the windshield wipers had a way to adjust the speed in intermittent mode, instead of just having one set speed. Same goes for the rear wiper; you can only have it on or off. The seats are comfortable enough, but you can easily get tired on long trips. There is also no center console to rest your right arm. This generation Fit has no dead pedal to rest your left foot, but I remedied this buy buying one made by an aftermarket parts company. It fitted nicely and does not detract. Since the gas tank is underneath the driver and front passenger, the foot well in the back seat area is deep, making for plenty of room. My boss sat in the back once, and she had no complaints. Also, with the "Magic Seats", as Honda calls the rear seats, they can make for much cargo room by folding them down flat, among other positions. Being made in Japan and shipped to the US, this car is mostly solid. There have been a few rattles here and there, but from what I've heard, that can be typical of Hondas. I've only had two oil changes done on the car. I've followed the Maintenance Minder on the car, which takes some guess work out of when you need to change your oil. Except for the rattles, this car is solid. The Fit looks good from the outside, if a bit quirky from the front. I prefer the look of the 2009 Fit, but the 2008 looks fine, especially the Sport model. As for fuel economy, I've been averaging around 29 MPG in a mix of city & highway driving. Please note that I do drive a bit more aggressively than most others. When setting the cruise control on longer highway trips, I've gotten in the mid to upper 30s. The Fit's gas tank is small at only 10.8 gallons. You may have to fill up more often than others, depending on your commute, but you still get great, if not the best, gas mileage, depending on your driving style and how much you use the freeway. In conclusion, this car is nimble, nifty, and a pleasure to drive. The Fit has consistently scored high in its class. I just hope people keep buying smaller cars. While at this point (Jan 09) when gas prices have cooled down, I can only be sure that it will go back up. The Fit deserves consideration.

I am not a fan of big or fancy cars, to me it's good enough if it takes me to work and back, so I am not the right person to write a review. Hm, let's see... I can say that I am very happy with my choice so far - the car is very roomy (I keep the back seats folded down most of the time), fuel-efficient, the stereo is great, and I even got the paddle-shifters, so I can change shifts manually.
