2008 Honda Fit Owner Comments

problem #1

Sep 012009

Fit LX 2.0L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 14,000 miles

Dispite rave reviews, the Honda Fit has many short comings:

1. Unacceptably low gearing, 60mph in 5th = 3000 RPM!!!! Nonstop engine whine at the slowest highway speeds. Unable to have normal conversation. Thank goodness for a very decent and loud stereo. 2. Unexceptional fuel economy. Real life combined city/highway = 30 MPG. 3. Unstable at speed above 75 mph. I suspect culprits are extremely low vehicle weight (2400 lb!!!) and tall centre of gravity. Watch out for crosswinds!!!! 4. B pillar blocks blind spot checking. 5. Poor shift quality from 1st to 2nd with manual transmission. 6. Honda schedule service "B", $600 canadian for an oil change and inspection. Come on Honda, if you wanted to screw me, at least buy me dinner first!!!!
