ABG First Drive: 2009 Honda Fit Sport

Aug 19th 2008 6:57PM on Autoblog Green

I agree with the comment about needing a clean diesel version of this car, does anybody have a good estimate at what MPG that might return?

Hey now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure there is a Hybrid FiT coming in a year or two, maybe that will up the mileage significantly with an IMA system, I can only hope. 28/35 isn't bad, but I'm looking for much better.

Interesting, the last time I checked out Crossover Mac it wasn't fully ready for Quicken yet - nice that they're still making progress.

Any idea if it's 100% with Office 2003 also?

Without the ability to download transactions from all the financial institutions this program will never get a serious look from me. I'm still using Quicken 2008 for Windows via Fusion.

My hope is that iBank 4 may be able to work for me. 3 isn't quite there yet.

Next-gen Prius to get solar panel to drive accessories

If you live in a moderate climate I can see where you may think this is a silly idea, but as a Phoenix AZ resident, I can tell you that this would be much appreciated around here.

Would I prefer a rooftop solar setup that re-charged batteries for driving the car? Absolutely! But this is still a worthwhile setup for people in hot climates.

Auto Week recommends the four cylinder engine

Too many of these smaller cars just don't return the MPG that I would expect. I'm driving a 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante, a large car by fuel efficient standards. But I get 21 in my mixed driving, and 27 - 28mpg on pure highway trips. That's as good as that little Cobalt. I would expect far better mileage from smaller 4 cylinder powered cars.

Ha ha, this is a cool little project, but it does not look like a normal bicycle.

Japan Post plans a switch to electric cars, Mitsubishi stock soars

This car is the nearest production EV that really looks great to me. The Th!nk OX is what I'd really like, but they're further away from making that a reality.

Here's to hoping that EV's and especially with regenerative capabilities like the Dean Kamen Sterling in a Th!nk City become far more common and affordable.

I just wish they would broadcast ATSC. :D

So just why is diesel so much more expensive than gasoline now?

I thought this was an informative article about the availability and price of Diesel.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
