Honda Fit Sport = Best MPG to Car Cost Ratio

[KrenzyRyan]

Saw this on MSN, I thought it was pretty cool that Honda rules above the rest:

Check out the chart on the bottom.

[die in a dick fire noob]

the honda fit also won the jd power and associates best customer satisfaction for sub compact cars this year. IT's so funny when you think about it because you could go spend 30G on a prius and get what like 50 mpg city MAYBE, big maybe there, and have your payment be 600mo for 72mo or get a fit and get 33mpg city like i get and spend 300mo for 72mo... that's an extra 300 you have to use for whatever... makes way more sense to me.

[KrenzyRyan]

For sure. Ive been wondering about those statistics for a while, its good to know Honda is on top of things

The Fit is dope I wanna K swap one... I still may get one, one of these days to do so! My wife drives a 07 Accord Hybrid...great power for the MPG, it is 265 hp getting 31-38 MPG on 19's w/ AC on. But yeah the payment offsets it a bit. I just couldn't ask her to drive much less than a fully loaded Hybrid, considering she traded in her Sierra Denali crew cab in for this to save gas money and a lil on the payment.

i love my FIT guys.. its great.. 30 bucks fills it up and lasts all week.

haha i see your wifes car when i do my banks courier route now and again in south chandler. at least i think so... it's the one with the huge BUILT BY NOTORIOUS sticker on the passenger side of the winshield?

if it's the one i'm thinking of that things is baller.

i want to k-swap my fit too but man it would be expensive i might just settle for turbo'ing the fuck out of it like the build skunk2 did.

That Skunk2 Fit build was pretty hard! Sounds like Nick's car to me.

Yup, that's the one lol And thanks we like it alot! Not a bad power to mpg ratio either... gets like 31-38 mpg on 19's w/ 265 hp and when the electric motor is in full action about 355 ft of torque. I wanna do more to it and show people you can tune Hybrids lol

[KrenzyRyan]

i love hondas how bout u

I take it your just trying to get your post count up?

[soooofit]

k swap ftl, L15 boosted= betteR
skunk2's L15 201whp :clap:

[rudsone]

yup, boost.

i want mine already.


sheesh.

[iNotion]

boost is better and cheaper but not faster

[1990SI]

the fit is go lol

[FranktheTank]

Fit owns all day long!

[soooofit]

boost is better and cheaper but not faster

not much cheaper, and for the hks kit which doesnt put down as much as t1r does you'll run low 14's in a 1/4.. im sure thats what you mean by not faster right? looking at only 1/4 mile times?

[rudsone]

god i want to buy my mdm fit already!


damn going to school all day.

[berny2435]

just think. Fit with K20a3 gets even better gas mileage. Been proven!

I am getting 30mpg with my Civic Si. Very good ""fun : gas mpg : invoice price"" ratio there. will have new calculation soon as I have turned almost 360 miles and have one bar left on my gauge. prob about 31.5mpg. Car is totally stock w/1300 miles on it and I will be switching to Amsoil 5w-20 synthetic, larger oil filter and better intake soon. Should put me above 33mpg if I do mostly highway driving like I have been.

Honda = value and fun
