Comparo: Honda Fit vs. Toyota Prius - National Post
06.02.09
I must admit I was amazed by the fuel efficiency of the Toyota Prius: After nearly 600 kilometres of mostly city driving, I averaged an incredible 4.1 litres per 100 km, just less fuel efficient than the 4.0 L/100 km city fuel economy Transport Canada lists for the hybrid. It's not that I doubted the numbers; I just didn't think I could manage such a feat based on my conversations with my colleagues -- and my inability to drive very, ahem, fuel efficiently. One colleague warned me that I would have to stay at a speed limit of around 50 kilometres an hour, necessary, he said, to keep the engine from switching from electric to gas. Another bet I couldn't do it --and he was right for the most part. My hypermiling ways lasted all of one day. I hate being the slowest person on the road (although, believe me, in Toronto, I wasn't the slowest --but that's another story). It's just not in my nature to drive conservatively. So, I was quite surprised that, after more than 100 km of lead-footing it around the city, I still managed to keep all the little white squares on the fuel gauge intact. Same thing at 200. It wasn't until I was well past the 300-km mark that the squares started disappearing. Still, after driving the Prius for close to 600 km at my normal speed (translation: just fast enough not to get caught), I managed to use only half a tank of gas.

Honda Fit?
Jul 07, 2007 by musicgirl | Posted in Other - Cars & Transportation
what is your opinion of the Honda Fit?
i am looking for a cute car that looks youthful and has a good amount of space in it and is moderately priced.
I have a Honda Fit Base model, I got it the first month they were available. It is equipped with an automatic transmission, and all the other standard features, AC, Power Windows and mirrors, radio with CD. It has been rated as a best buy for the money in the small car category by several national automotive magazines. I have around 12,000 miles on mine, I get 33-34 MPG around town and on a recent 1200 mile trip I got 41 MPG (the car was loaded with stuff and two people running 70 MPH most of the trip.). For the money, it is a great car, zippy, handles great, fun to drive, easy on gas and easy to park. The greatest compliment I can give it is; if something happens to this car, I will immediately buy another one just like it. Maybe the next one would be the sport model, which is what I wanted but I could not find one so I bought the base model.
The only downside of the car is it is hard to find and many dealers want to add a premium to the window price.
I have talked to a couple of other Honda Fit owners, without exception, all are of the opinion that it is a terrific car for the money. By the way, we also have a 06 MB CLS500, I would rather drive the Honda Fit.
I just checked the owner's manual, there is no requirement to change the timing belt, there is a service light indicating when oil change is due, displayed in percent left till change is required, the brake fluid is to be changed every 3 years and the idle speed is to be adjusted every 160,000 miles. The Mini is a cute little car that does not come close to the amount of "Stuff" the Fit can carry, I paid $16,000 out the door for my Fit, is there a Mini for that price? Ebay has a used 07 Mini for $25,000, nice car, but a drastically different type of car from the Honda Fit.

How much would it cost to retro fit a 2007 honda fit sport with a drivers seat from a 2008 model?
Sep 03, 2007 by mytchristi | Posted in Honda
Hi,
Just bought a 07 honda fit and love it... but wish it had pump in driver's seat for comfort and seating position adjustment like the 08...can it be retrofitted with one and how much would that be?
as far as i can tell everything is basically bolt on. so it all depends on who you get to do it, plus the price of parts. it can be done. But i cant give you a price

Can a Honda Fit be mofified to make it perform better in the snow?
Jul 30, 2008 by Rocky Raccoon | Posted in Honda
I like my Honda Fit now that it is summer; but I dread the winter. Last winter I repeatedly got stuck in the snow; the wheels are too small and it is too low to the ground. I actually had to get towed one snowy night. can anything be done to help; like snow tires or another modification? I have had 3 Civics and an Accord and never had the trouble in the snow that the Fit has had.
Studs don't help with snow, they are for ice. You may have touring tyres on your Fit, which are useless in snow. At the minimum, you need an all-season tyre with a HIGH snow rating, which can only be attained if your tread has good cleats on the outside edges of the tread. All-season tyres are not all equal, some are actually very poor in winter, no matter what the advertising says.
I suggest you buy actual winter tyres for that vehicle, tyres that go on just before the snow comes, and are taken off in the spring. The difference is amazing, they grip snow better, but, even better, they grip ice better because of the tread that doesn't harden at low temperatures.
NEVER deflate the tyres at all, unless you are actually stuck. It is a trick to use to get moving only when stuck, not while actually driving, whether or not the roads are clear. In 43 years of driving, well over 1 1/2 million miles, living in Edmonton, Saskatoon, and rural Manitoba, all snow belt areas, I have never once had to resort to deflating tyres.
