Replying to: tonyspumoni (Nov 09, 2008 9:02 pm) Seems you did the right thing. Also, probably really wise to do it before battery pack gave problems. I'm in a trade mode right now and considering the economical gassers as well as hybrids. Leaning more and more toward a Fit or Yaris. Thanks, Kip |

I'm 58 yrs old. My first car was a 1961 Austin Healey 3000 Mark II with triple carbs and electric overdrive (20 mpg). I've had two 280ZX turbo 5 spds (25+ mpg), a 300 ZX (25+mpg), and a Celica (30+ mpg). I've also owned/driven a diesel VW Rabbit and a Geo Metro XFI which both got 50+mpg. This Honda Fit may turn out to be my favorite if it can continue to keep me this happy for the next 198k miles!

Replying to: baddog2 (Nov 10, 2008 7:34 pm) Thanks for weighing in with the numbers and the upcheck. I'm looking forward to owning this fun, efficient, and engaging little car and am delighted to hear that you've enjoyed it so far too. Amazing mileage really and not far off my Prius numbers to be frank. |

Replying to: ohthelawd (Nov 11, 2008 11:24 am) Let's just say that I don't expect to continue racking up the miles at that rate on my new Fit for the rest of th year, but I do expect to have 30k+ on it during the first year. One of my hobbies is breeding/training/showing Labrador retrievers. Dog show season is about to start for me and weekend trips with labs aboard will run 400-600 miles per weekend. I think I've got more usable space in the back of my Fit for dogs and crates than friends who just bought $40k SUV and I know I'll get better mileage. |

New car on September 10th this year. So far, 1770 miles at average MPG 39.5. Mostly city and suburban driving with occasional 80 mi round trips to Salt Lake City. Mileage is a little harder to maintain in fall/winter driving than summer/fall. Pretty much full use of hypermiling strategies, with coasting, turning off engine at stoplights & fast food lines, etc. MPG meter has been from 25% optimistic down to current 10% high. I've heard that the mileage improves at about 5,000 miles due to decreased internal friction due to engine break-in. Anyone have a superior winter tire/wheel strategy?

Replying to: pmeyers (Nov 11, 2008 1:48 pm) You're going to take a mileage hit with winter blend fuels and less than ideal driving conditions, but I stick to my good driving habits in the winter and take what I can get! |

I tested drove each LOVE the sport Fit EXCEPT interior only comes in Blk I have a white dog her hair gets over me in 2 hr. pieces transferred to the blk interior and looks terrible--But great car-no wiggle room in pricing that I can find I'm in NE Oh. Also the Versa doesn't seem stable-stopped and a small SUV passed me around 45 mph and the Versa shook-stopped on freeway shoulder with the FIT semi's didn't even make it wobble. Any recommendation on comfort and milage for under $17k. buying my first NEW car in 20 yrs. usafrosie
