Great Car, but!
We love our Honda Fit. It has great fuel economy, runs well and the ability to haul a variety of items is outstanding, but. The car has already had two recalls which involved the transmission and door handle backing plates. Both items were fixed by dealer immediately, but I still had to take the time to get them fixed. I have had three other problems (1) a seat latch (drivers side) that would not completely engage. (2) air conditioner performed poorly. (3) transmission appears to have a hesitation at lower speeds. I have been working on getting these problems covered under warrantee for just over two years at two different dealers. The seat problem I believe is finally fixed. They had to move a misplaced seat rail. Finally my dealer recharged the air with a Freon (or whatever they use now days) with dye in it to help find the leak. The recharge has improved the air performance, but it is still poor as far as I am concerned. The dealer tells me the transmission is fine, but since I have warrantee left, I'm in a wait and see on the tranny. During my efforts to get the issues resolved, I called customer service on the seat problem and was left with the impression that they did not care about my problem. I bought my Honda on the strength of my experience with other Honda products I have owned. Unfortunately I no longer have a warm fuzzy feeling about Honda and would have to think twice about buying another one.
