Why the 2008 Honda Fit?

Cargo capacity

Forget towing capacity, but the configurable interior is very flexible and able to swallow huge amounts of cargo.

Handling

Razor-sharp handling for a small car with twist-beam rear suspension. Even with the OEM all-season tires, the level of grip is confidence-inspiring on twisty roads. Sticky tires would make the Fit behave like a Mini with cargo capacity.

Safety & braking

Airbags everywhere and powerful brakes with antilock on all four corners. The brakes are a little grabby initially, but are easy to modulate.

Fuel economy

Even a short commute can exceed the EPA city estimates of 28mpg, and 40mpg on the highway is easily achievable. The Fit responds well to hypermile techniques.

Materials & workmanship

All of the hard plastic trim parts fit very well. No rattles or squeaks noted in daily driving over a variety of street surfaces. Ergonomics and dash/control design is very good and visually appealing.
