2008 Honda Fit -- Opinions

Hello everyone,

My first post here. I've enjoyed reading this forum, but I haven't seen too many opinions on the Honda Fit. I'm thinking of buying one. I've never bought a new car before, and it feels a bit weird, but here are my main reasons.
  • I don't have time to search for the perfect used car.
  • I really want a station wagon.
  • I like the look of the Fit.
  • I want the best FE I can get.
I'm in the process of opening a new business. I live in a medium-small city, and people tend to know what you drive. In that regard, I feel that driving a nice-looking car is good business. I'm currently driving a beater, and it doesn't help my image or my business. A newer used car would probably look okay, but then I'd have to find the perfect one, which isn't easy.

The Honda Fit seems like a logical choice. From what I've read, people seem to get the 28/34 mpg up considerably higher, even without serious hypermiling. Does anyone here have any experience? Any idea what kind of mileage can I expect with mild hypermiling? Any thoughts on my choice?

Thank in advance,
Siaharok
