2008 Honda Fit Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by teterman2005

Price or payments

Paid MSRP for base fit, used honda finance, with low down payment my monthly payments are $240 (60 months). Not bad for a new car.

Reliability & durability

Car is very simple, not much there to break. After 32k miles, only minor issue w/resurfacing rotors and warranty repair for airbag sensor. Feels like it will go 100k+ without hassles.

Interior styling

Blue gauges are nice, layout is simple and makes sense, rear seats fold flat. Materials not bad.

Quietness

Buzzy and loud on the highway (75-80 cruising speed). This is my main complaint about the car, could use more sound deadening, especially in the hatch, floorboards, and doors.

Powertrain performance

Could use more power. Could also use a 6th gear. Engine gets thrashy when revved. 5sp shifter is excellent, knotchy and precise.
