Honda Fit
Has anyone bought or driven the Honda Fit? I have owned an accord and
civic, but was considering the Fit as my next purchase because of the extra utility it might provide with the hatchback and folding seats. I would be interested in your opinion. Sid |

I am impressed and have one on order. I have studied everything I can find online and at the dealership. It all looks very positive. It appears that the one MPG that is lost with the sport automatic on the road may be due to the extra metal and consequent wind drag. I will be getting the standard Fit. The negative of that decision is that I will not have cruise control available. Otherwise it looks perfect. Bill |

Anyway, it is quicker than it has a right to be. About 8.5 sec to 60mph if the Car magazines are to be believed. I am looking forward to 38mpg since I have a 90 mile per day commute via highway. Great design with the folding rear seats. Nice radio in the base model. It's a bit sparse in the creature comfort area but you can remedy that with some aftermarket add ons probably. Keep in mind that these suckers are in high demand. Dealers are not dealing that much at all. I got mine for about 2% under MSRP which ain't much. But there is very little wiggle room in a $14k car, after all. Hope this helps. |

Hello, This message is for Sid---I advise you to buy to visit the local Honda dealership and pick up a free booklet related to the Fit. It's about 20 pages long. There is a chart near the end of the booklet that compares the Regular Fit to the Sport Fit. For example, I learned from the chart that the Regular Fit does NOT have the following items but the Sport Fit does have the following items: 15 inch wheels --regular Fit has 14 inch wheels Fog lights Cruise control Spoiler Car alarm If none of the above features are of interest to you--buy the regular Fit. If you want the above features--buy the Sport Fit. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

It's called the Honda Fit because most people don't fit in it.

We fell in love with the red one immediately as it's fairly roomy inside considering the outside dimensions. I thought the black with titanium/silver trim interior was tastefully done and the ergonomics are typical Honda . Honda squarely hit the bullseye with this thing. We'll be getting a Sport model sometime early next year. Our daughter is getting married in December and we don't want to take on a car payment with everything else going on. -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com |

Not yet. I am not 16. The Honda Fit is a very nice car. Probably is
America's best first car (could knock the Civic off that honor). It is small and affordable. The only cons are rear drum brakes and the manual fuel lid. |
