I was looking at Fits today. What do you love, and hate about your car? And please include years.

2008 Honda Fit S

Honestly, if you're looking for a great commuter car and want to stay in the Honda family, Fit is the way to go.

The only complaint I would have is that the ride is a little bumpy/loud for my taste, but no one else has really complained about this issue from what I know. I think getting tires with a bigger sidewall (60-65) will solve this problem but I won't know for a while..

I love the fact that this car is very peppy on local roads and not too shabby on the highways. It's compact and very nimble, and is not very thirsty when it comes to gas. Plus, I think it's sexy as hell in milano red. :0) Hope this has helped!

Only flaw I encountered was the lack of center armrest. It's the best car for the money, tons of room, comfortable front and back seats, and incredibly versatile with the magic seats.

Just two compalints. Not after market radio & speaker friendly and the lack of an armrest. Other than that it's killer!

being used to lowered hondas i think the fit rides great, and handles awesome, my complaint is lack of power but it pulls its own going up long hills on the freeway with out going down a gear, but i do have a turbo gsr for when theres a need for speed

I have an 09. Like magic seats, gas mpg, quick steering. Dislike lack of hp.

Oh and I also like my armrest. =p
