Car&Driver reviews the GE8 A/T

I dunno if this is a repost, mods you can remove this if it is.

2009 Honda Fit Sport Automatic - Short Take Road Test - Auto Reviews - Car and Driver

It's a short-take review but they do say the A/T blunts performance a little. Still they say it's "the best cheap automatic, period."

big differences in the 0-60.

GRANTED, car and driver seems to be one of the few mags to coax a sub 9 second time out of a m/t fit.

granted if someone like insideline tested the a/t fit, they'd probably get a 12 second sprint lol.

Yes, because other "car" mags either do not correct their data and/or they don't know how to perform testing. So one has to compare not from mag to mag, but from car to car. IOW, if Car and Driver gets a BMW M3 to 60 in 4.4 secs, expect Consumer Reports to get to 60 in 6.0 secs.

Motor Trend recorded an 8.3 sec to 60 mph for the Fit, which is the best I've seen for this GE.
