#4568 of 4728 Re: Fit service 20K miles [719b] by vchiu Apr 07, 2008 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: 719b (Apr 07, 2008 1:55 pm) Thank you for the kind words, However I worked in London and Dublin 10 years ago, so I really have no merit at all. This car is well engineered and makes talking about it easy. I even considered shipping it back to Europe when I leave China. but this does make little financial sense
#4569 of 4728 versatile by bobw3 Apr 09, 2008 (6:44 am)
I just came back from the garden store with six bags of mulch and a few fairly tall bushes. The mulch easily fit behind the 2nd row seats, and the bushes were in the 2nd row with the seats in the upright position. The bushes didn't even touch the ceiling. This is one versatile car. Consistent MPG for me in the low to mid 30s for normal day-to-day driving and upper 30s on pure highway. The only thing I need to do is tint the windows because it can get really warm on sunny days and it's pretty noisy having the AC running full blast. The only thing I'd like to have is a telescoping steering wheel, but it's not a significant enough issue for me to even think about getting rid of this car. Maybe in 10 years I'll start looking for a replacement!
#4570 of 4728 Sport 5? by violet4 Apr 11, 2008 (12:09 pm)
Am I correct?   5AT - base car-not a Sport, with 5 speed shiftable automatic transmission? Sport - Sport with a manual transmission? Sport 5AT - Sport with a 5 speed shiftable automatic transmission?
#4571 of 4728 Going to test drive, start dealing by violet4 Apr 15, 2008 (3:20 pm)
I've looked at Sports on lots when the dealers were closed. Noticed no mats and have read posts regarding "no mats". Does Honda make them for the Sport? Would it be reasonable to say they could be included in a negotation? Does any one know how much they are thru Honda (if they make them). Can you get them on line if yes here? I know you can get compact car mats at auto stores, KMart etc. But wondering if thru Honda they'd fit better.   Anything else I should consider dealing about?

Replying to: violet4 (Apr 15, 2008 3:20 pm) We use in our Fit Sport $25 mats that we bought at a Target. They work fine.   The floor mats are the same for both Base and Sport. The OEM mats are about $100 if bought directly from a dealership, but you can find them on the 'net for much less. Try here, for instance:   http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda_fit_accessories/07_08_fit_interior_access- ories.htm   eBay is another good place to search for the OEM floor mats.

Replying to: violet4 (Apr 15, 2008 3:20 pm) My dealer here had the mats for $125 and I install them..uhmmm...I tried to include them in negotiations and I was turned down but got another $50 off the deal ( I paid $16000 for the Sport including dest, which I believe is $125 below dealer invoice). You can get the Honda mats and the trunk cover (very handy) for close to 50%...I paid $67 for the mats and $110 for the cover) Here is the place..www.bernardiparts.com They got all Honda products including extended warranty... Please note that the Honda mats will requiere you to do some work installing the hooks for the anti-slipping mats..

#4574 of 4728 '08 Test drive by upstatedoc Apr 16, 2008 (7:11 am)
Took an '08 Fit AT out for a test drive the other day, Typical honda ride, snappy engine, taught ride. Even with the AT, acceleration was good from a standstill. The driver's seat room is most impressive (I'm 6'3"/250 lbs.) The weak points were passing power at highway speeds. You really have to mash the gas pedal to get it to pass anything, there's not much reserve there. Hopefully the '09's upgraded engine partly soves this problem. Otherwise a pleasant ride even on the highway at 70-75 mph (engine not buzzy) and a definite contender If I do indeed need to purchase a highway commuter.

#4577 of 4728 Two Years and Still in Love by vcarreras Apr 20, 2008 (6:33 am)
I purchased my 2007 Honda FIT Sport auto (storm silver) on 19 April 2006 from Sterling McCall Honda in Kingwood, Texas. I must say now with 18,600 trouble free miles that my love for this car just continues to grow. The engine is now fully broken in and runs smoother then ever before. My mileage averages between 31-32 city and 38-40 on the road. Worst has been 26 city..best 41.75 highway.   Problems NONE. Complaints NONE. I LOVE MY FIT!!
