Still lovin' that Fit after all these years

I LOVE this car. If Honda still made them, I would get another. I'm very disappointed at how large cars have again gotten. There is nothing available these days that is as fuel efficient as my little Fit. In terms of interior space, I think of it as a "large little car". Back seats can lift up to provide more floor space, or convert to station wagon configuration. Amazing how much cargo I've gotten into this vehicle. With the full view mirror I've added, there are no blind spots at all. I recently had the lights converted to LEDs, which makes a significant difference in night driving.

Wotta GREAT car!

This is absolutely my favorite car. It’s what I think of as a BIG little car. Love the hatchback that maximizes volume area in back. Can hold an incredible amount of cargo with seats folded down to extend size of trunk, or seats folded up to create a different configuration of space in the rear of the car. Fabulous MPG and visibility. If Honda still made them, I’d replace this with a newer model in a heartbeat.

Drivers side to get in without much problem, unlike other cars

Drivers side is easier to get in; with some vehicles, I would need a ladder. The mileage is good. the back seats can be laid back, so I can use them to haul garden discards to the compost pile. Luckily it cleans up easily. Very functional in the A/C, heater, and window wiper including a back window set of blades. Useful amount of music, heat, and other buttons that I don't use

A large little car!

I have loved and thoroughly enjoyed my Honda fit sport from day one. For a small sized car, it offers a tremendous amount of storage space which can be reconfigured depending on particular needs. I continue to hold out hope that Honda will manufacture a hybrid fit incoming years. So far they are only overseas. A real shame.

Sound little car

Sound little car. Disappointed with treatment from Hopkins Honda, whom we purchased it used from just over a month ago. A/C compressor went bad. No adjustment or accomodations from H. H. Wanted over twice as much for repair as a local repair shop. Used cars are a roll of the dice.

Dependable vehicle

Love it since i bought it. Drove it from pa to texas fully loaded. Got excellent milage and great handling. Just wish they made it all wheel drive. A few recalls that were taken care of by dealership. Overall my car is a 2009 it is still in great shape. Ive always been a Honda fan ive owned 3 so far.

2009 Fit

Good little family sports car, albeit, a bit noisy and rough riding ... just like a sports car. Has very good gas mileage, is quick and drives well through mountain roads or on a boring freeway. It is a fun car.

2009 Fit

I love my Fit! It is the best vehicle I’ve had since my Jetta TDI. It’s small but, powerful. I love the features of my Fit and the fact that it’s a manual. Another thing I love is that it gets good mileage! At least 35-40mpg!

Wonderful car

Pros... fits my work equipment in the back, easy to park (small), cup holders (lots of ‘em), reliable with very few repairs. Rear wiper. Body great even with the parking lot dings and dents there’s no rust even after 11 years. Cons... not as good mileage as I expected, door handles poorly designed (broken fingernails), rough ride (short wheelbase, probably), bottom ventilation has never been good (cold feet). I think all cars might have this problem, but mice get into it and chew stuff up. I have to vacuum the ventilation out regularly. Aaaaaand, why can’t the car designers put a heater wire under where the wipers sit so they aren’t frozen? Certain weather conditions make it unsafe to drive because the wipers are frozen. They just drag ice even with the defroster vent warm. All in all I’d get another Fit. They’re cute, comfy, and fun. I even have gotten a dresser and pallets in the back.

Best car I've owned

My 2009 base Fit purchased in September 2008 is just short of 12 years old. Gas mileage over 97,000 miles has been 34.49 (39 to 41.5 mpg on highway, 32 to 33 around town). Fun to drive. HIghly functional with folding rear seats giving significant carrying capacity. No mechanical issues over the 12 years of ownership. We have found it comfortable on multiple trips to both California and Florida with the only knock being a somewhat noisy cabin at highway speed or on rough roads. The A/C was inadequate in hot climates until I had "Llumar Air 80 clear" heat rejecting film installed on the windshield and front side windows. (Now trips to south Florida are no longer an issue with A/C as good as any other car I've owned.) Is listed as an "ultra low emission vehicle" by EPA.

Just what I exxpected

My FIT is now 12 years old and going strong. I've been a long-time Honda fan, and thr FIT has not disappointed. It still has pep, and I am always amazed with how much "stuff" I can squeeze into it. The seats could be more comfortable and the carpets sturdier. Honda should replace the flimsy plastice armrests with something more substantial so they don't crack.

Honda Fit

Outside of the noise level inside at higher speeds, the Honda Fit is the best small car there is. I don't need 200 characters to say any better. I don't need 200 characters to say any better. I don't need 200 characters to say any better.

Great mechanically - but lousy locks!

My Honda Fit is 10 years old and has 150,000+ miles on it. I've had very few mechanical repairs - but basically everything you stick a key into has had to be replaced, in some cases more than once. That includes the ignition assembly (replaced twice), rear hatch locks, both front door locks. No idea why Honda builds a mechanically sound car and then puts flimsy locks on it.

outstanding, dependable, and highly functional

See Comments under "Pros" and "Cons". Very pleased with this vehicle overall. Some professional reviewers have suggested that the Fit was NOT a car for long trips but this has not been our experience over several trips from NC to South Florida and two to California. As noted below, our only minor dissatisfaction has been cabin road noise and temperature control in hot climates--with the latter now corrected through application of aftermarket clear heat reflective film.

Reliable, great mileage, incredible room

My 2009 Honda Fit is the first brand new car I have ever gotten. The first 2 years I was commuting to Sacramento 4 days a week. So, 10 years later, it has about 170,000 miles on it. Nothing odd has ever gone wrong. I am finicky about getting the oil change and a full safety check (belts, brakes, hoses, etc) done every 5000 miles. You actually can go longer, but it’s easier for me to remember. Ie odometer 20,000, 25,000, etc. I also only use Chevron gas, nothing with ethanol. I am always amazed at how much gear I can get inside it, yet so easy to park.for trips like to LA, etc, cruises no problem at 80 and still gets 30+ mpg. I will get a new Honda HRV in 2 years. Honda’s are hands down the best.

Very pleased

now 11 years without issues. Gas mileage 31 to 41 city to highway. Overall for the 11 years and 93000+ miles is 34.79 mpg (93,192/2679 gallons). Got 39.84 on 5600 mile trip to California and back. Comfortable. fun to drive. Only minor negative is that cabin can be a little noisy on rougher roads at highway speed. Love the versatility for cargo.

Great every day car

I dive this car for all my errands and shopping needs. The hatch opens and by lowering the passenger side seat, I can actually fit a man's 26 inch bicycle into the car and drive off. The gas mileage is great even around town. It averages a bit over 32 miles per gallon in local traffic but can be in the high 30's and nearly 40 on a long trip. It has required little upkeep other than the oil changes and break check up and tires. I bought it new 10 years ago and I take in all over the state. Great heater in the cold and great air in the summer. Awesome turning radius. I can park it in small spaces and it turns on a dime. Not the most comfortable car to sit in, but not the worst I have owned either.
