Comfort
If only Honda could do the same thing about road noise. Enough tire
rumble made its way into the cabin to remind us that this is a Honda
(cars known for substantial road noise), with the most noisy moments
occurring on highways and rougher road surfaces. Wind noise wasn't
terribly obtrusive, but overall this is not a particularly quiet car.

Honda Fit Base
We agree that the 2008 Honda Fit Base allows buyers to step into a
fun-to-drive car without broadsiding their wallets. But the slightly
more expensive Fit Sport provides some nice extras that will be
appreciated every time you drive the car. For $1,320 more, the Sport
adds paddle shifters, cruise control, lower body skirts, a rear spoiler
and 15-inch alloys rather than the 14-inch steel wheels on the Base
model.

Function
In typical BMW fashion, the analog gauges are a model of
simplicity, though the real-time analog fuel economy gauge is a bit
gimmicky. Unfortunately, the stereo and climate controls are anything
but simple — the radio is operated via a series of identical-looking
buttons, and in another nod to BMW tradition, the only way to turn off
the climate control system is to press and hold the fan-speed "down"
button or tap it repeatedly. To make matters worse, we found that the
stereo display becomes illegible when viewed through polarized
sunglasses. At least we didn't have to contend with iDrive, though
there's no way around it if you want the navigation system.
