Best car I have ever owned. I am 71 years young.

Nearly perfect car for me. High mpg. I am single. Keep the back seats down all the time. Holds more than enough for a 4 month camping trip for one person. Great around town. As others have said, a little noisy, a little bumpy. The noise does not bother me. A little less bumpy would help.

I love this car!

I have owned this car longer than any other car I have owned. It is a lot for the money. After 12 years it is still like new. No major problems except to replace tires. Normal care by the dealer.

It's not as great on gas like they say

It's such a shame because I been a Honda girl for over 28 years!! For me it's heartbreaking to see Honda not have the pride, honor, and integrity they once had. The quality of their products is no longer #1 in the industry for me. Once again in my opinion Honda doesn't produce amazing quality products anymore. It just isn't what it use to be. My 1996 Honda hatchback was way better on gas then my 2008 fit. The car just seems to be falling apart on the inside as well because of the cheap quality of the material and Honda’s ethical standards.

Small, versatile, economical

High MPG -- consistently 34 MPG mostly highway. No mechanical failures in eleven years. "Magic Seat" provides lots of room for transportation for a small car. The manual transmission is fun to drive.

Great Car! Airbags Saved My Husband

My husband drove this (Fit Sport) for his sales job. Great car for all the reasons people buy Fits. It was totalled in an accident that mangled the car, but my husband survived with only a bit of whiplash. Naturally, we bought another Fit Sport. Great cars!

Driven faithfully for over a decade.

The stylish Honda Fit boasts an electric blue body color, excellent fuel economy, clean fabric interior, and zippy 4-cylinder engine. Gets you where you need to go quickly and with style. Not only can this compact car FIT lots of belongings, but it's super easy to park.

A Basic Auto

The base model of the Honda Fit is very utilitarian. It is lightweight and gets great gas mileage as a result. It's fairly roomy, and can be configured to carry a substantial load. It's great for local commuting, but not the best choice for a long road trip.
