2008 Honda Fit Review

For the second year in a row, Car and Driver's 10Best List is graced with the (now) 2008 Honda Fit. This 4-door 5-passenger compact family sedan is stylish and aerodynamic. Cars.com and Consumer Guide have also bestowed similar awards on the Honda Fit based on style, features, and fuel economy. Let's take a closer look:

The Fit gets an impressive 28 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway. The less we go to the pumps, the better off the entire Earth will be. Its aluminum alloy, 109hp 1.5 Liter in-line 4 cylinder, 16-valve super-efficient engine comes with a standard 100,000 mile, no-tune up warranty. Fit produces 109 foot-lb of torque to accelerate to freeway speeds easily.

Worried about the lightweight nature of a subcompact vehicle? Don't. The 2008 Fit earned a 5-star front and side crash safety rating from the NHTSA due to its 6 standard airbag design; its 3-point fully-adjustable seatbelts; anti-lock braking system (ABS); electronic brake distribution (EBD); tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS); side impact door beams; child-proof rear locks and anti-theft automatic engine disabling device! These are features that competitors like the Volkswagen Rabbit cannot match.

The 2008 Fit has a special feature that is quite revolutionary. It's called the Magic Seat. It literally vanishes by folding down to present you with over 41 cubic feet of cargo room. The floors in the Fit are flat to accommodate this trend-setting feature. There is over 4 feet of space between the floor and the ceiling. That's more than a lot of trucks have! This lover of nature allows you to pack all of your gear to head out to your favorite outdoor activities in comfortable style without ever making Mother Nature angry! In fact, she will smile upon you when she sees that you are taking a proactive stance to be environmentally-friendly by driving such a fuel-efficient vehicle.

This 2008 Honda also allows you to fold back the front seats a full 180 degrees for when you just need to stretch out and chill. You have never seen so much room presented in such a small vehicle. It's amazing to witness; it seems impossible! But that's what the innovative engineers at Honda were able to dream up for you - and it's real.

The 2008 Honda Fit is also backed up by Honda's stellar reputation, resale values, customer service and impressive warranties. Any way that you look at it, this Honda Fit is fit to be on the top of your short list for potential vehicles to purchase. Oh yeah, did we mention that the MSRP pricing starts at only $13,950?
