Steve in NY, the european versions of the fit (called the jazz) get better mileage with more engine options…

Have a 2007 manual trans Sport Fit with 15K miles and average 30-35 mixed and 40+ on hiways @ 65 mph. 2007 has less HP than 2009 but I’ve never had a problem with lack of power on hills or passing with 2 people and luggage. Fun to drive with sporty suspension. I am recommending to all my friends. Great!

I looked at the Ford Focus, and the Toyota Matrix, but bought a 5 speed manual Fit. Cheap financing, quality, a good fit for my style, lots of faetures, including a jack for my daughter’s ipod,an imprerssive fold down design for the seats for moving a band and a dog. First got one as a rental and bought one enw. This summer I drove the Rockies and with a 5 speed it climbed and passed with no problem. Easy on gas, good brakes. Very happy with it.

Are you having a laugh?
27mpg (city) is ludicrous by European standards,
especially for a car this size. I bet you Honda engineers have even forgotten their company still produces these motors.
And to top things, a $20K price tag for such a car?

After 1,115 miles my 2009 Fit is getting 41.3 miles per gallon, a mix of City and Highway driving at a 20/80 ratio. I have the automatic transmission. No complaints from me, but my wife can children complain about the headrest since it does not adjust backwards.
