2007 Honda Fit

Summary:
Had a 2004 Saturn Vue die on me at 63000 miles after having every preventive maintenance recommendation completed throughout its priveleged life. Decided I had had enough of "American" cars and purchased an automatic base model fit. It has been 3 months and I couldnt be happier. This little car is just amazing. It feels as if I am driving a much more expensive vehicle. The quality is top notch and the "magic" rear seat has had me wondering how I ever got along without it. It loves to cruise at 70 and has no problems keeping up with traffic. I have had 2 relatively large passengers in my fit with the a.c. on and had no trouble keeping the car in pace with much larger vehicles. I will admit, however, that in order to do so I did have to ask the tranny to downshift but it didnt complain much. I am hoping this car lives up to Hondas rep will allow me to get a couple hundred thousand without needing any major repairs. So far so good.

Strengths:
"magic" rear seat, great ergonomics, gas mileage (when driven reasonably), roominess for size, and Honda quality!!!

Weaknesses:
More horsepower would always be great, larger gas tank...(only 10.3 gallons), and cruise control should be offered across the board.

Summary:
I live in Costa Rica and we bought the Fit back in 2004. Incredible mileage per gallon (up to 37 miles per gallon) and this is not a hybrid or diesel car.

The space inside makes you think you are driving a much bigger car ( even bigger that a regular suv ). The variation in the seat configuration is very usefull.

Strengths:
Great interior space, nice control panel and fuel economy

Weaknesses:
compare to another cars of the same type, none!!
