Increase the production of the '09 Fit so that we can get it for less than MSRP.
Make the navigation system more affordable than other Hondas.
Make the Fit safe enough to obtain 5-star crash ratings for both front and side impacts.

How about a sunroof on the top of the line model this time around?

I am glad they kept the Accord and RL design folks away from this car. Those folks could have ruined this gem with their ungainly designs.

Looks less like a microvan now, though...]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 3:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 6:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/
What are the mpg's like? I heard from a friend who owns one, around 25 in the city, seems a little low for such a compact package. Don't know if that is accurate or not?]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/
We're going to NEED flexible cars like this, and it's great to see that Honda is building them. ]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/
I am coming off of a 2004 WRX (5-speed) that I used to autocross and would average 19-20mpg in city driving, so this is a huge boost for me. I am fiddling with the paddle shifters (S, using paddles only) right now to see if it makes a difference in the mileage, but I've found that it definitely shifts better than in regular (D) mode.]]>Mar 19th 2008 10:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Apr 29th 2008 8:11AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/
In any case, the upcoming FIT looks like a winner in nearly all respects.

Too bad Chrysler isn't offering a car like the FIT instead of that stupid, Challenger thing;-).]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 11:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 20th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 3:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/Mar 19th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-2009-honda-fit/
Most cars would get great mileage if people would keep their foot out of it. Hell I get 35 EVERYDAY in my 07 Civic Ex (5spd) which is only rated at 26c 34h!

the only thing that i dont like that they didnt improve from the past version was the rear drum brakes but since the JDM and euro can come withrear disc brakes i think it should not be a problem to do the conversion.

i really like it. this might as well be my next car we'll know next year. ]]>Mar 19th 2008 3:12PM
