What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2008 Honda Fit are very happy with their purchase. They particularly appreciate its excellent gas mileage, fun driving experience, and spacious interior and cargo space. However, some drivers mentioned wanting better seat comfort and noted that the car's power could be a little lacking, especially when running the air conditioning."
Great value, very reliable, super spacious, and still budget friendly. Can’t beat it
August 5, 2026It's a great little car that is bigger inside than you would expect. It's a perfect car for a small family or people on the go. It is a very reliable car and never had any issues mechanically at all. It handles fine even in snow.
April 8, 2014Good gas mileage. Fairly zippy for a small car. Fun to drive. The standard is quite fun. Still new but nothing wrong so far. The cargo space in the Fit is very good. Great for trips to IKEA. The price of the vehicle is affordable and the rebate from the government is a bonus. The interior is nice to. Overall, quite happy with it.

September 16, 2008It'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.
February 19, 2012love this car! Its reliable, sporty, roomy and so much fun to drive!
August 6, 2021A good, reliable car that is affordable and gets good gas mileage. Works well as a daily commuter vehicle. It is also a good small family car. Once your children get bigger you may want to look for something roomier.
March 23, 2015First of all, my car is a LX model not a base model. The performance is adequate as far acceleration is concerned, brakes are solid with 4 wheel ABS with brake force distribution, I do wish it had 4 wheel discs not drums in the rear, but that's the norm in the subcompact class. The car handles great thanks to the responsive electric assisted rack and pinion steering with a tight turning circle. The build quality is top notch like all Honda's. The styling is cool, what amazes me is how much room there is inside....it appears larger inside than on the outside of the car. It has been trouble free and you gotta love when it cost 28 bucks to fill from less than an 8th of a tank. It is very fun to drive and I don't need a normal parking space either! I get between 40/50mpg on the highway as well!
September 24, 2009The Honda Fit is one of the cars that has surprised me. I wasn't expecting much out of it, since it looks like a pretty typical Japanese hatchback car. The new Civic didn't exactly impress me leaving me to believe this car would also be so-so. I was wrong. This is one of the few examples where having a cheaper car does not sacrifice fun. The engine is very much like the Toyota Yaris in that its great for the city, not so good for the highway where its lack of power is apparent. This car does very good in the corners and with the great steering feedback I actually forgot I was driving a Honda since this is what I would expect the Mazda 2 to be like. The interior quality is the best of its class. Not only is it styled pretty nicely it seems well appointed and the good use of the lights made it seem modern...possibly advanced. Never had a problem with build quality in this car. There's only a few things that may put off some people. The low power and the price tag. For me this is a much better buy than the Civic.
October 19, 2008I love everything about this car. It's not fast, but it's quick and it handles well. It's built solid, made 100% in japan. I spend $30/week on gas driving 300 miles a week. It's fun, it's gorgeous, and there's tons of aftermarket. Honda did well with the Fit... until 2009.
August 20, 2008This Thing is awesome, I'm so happy I went with it over the civic. it holds more feels like a sports car, the 5 speed is smooth and a monkey could use the clutch. I recommend this to anyone hoping to find something that handles well and winds up great. no it is not an F1 racer but it picks up quick enough and gets no less than 30 average MPG. even the way I drive ( I like to hear it wind above 4,000 Rpm), and I managed to get 44 driving to Duluth. you can't beat that now a days. I can't praise the handling enough, this thing sticks through the twists. It is a very sporty little ride with an eager look, it wants to go take on everything. well rounded ride. Word
