Seriously the best, most reliable car ever!

This car gets 43 miles to the gallon, has has no mechanical issues, and 14200 miles later is still so fun to drive. The cargo space is unbelievable, and I can comfortably seat 5 adults.

Great car for price

I love this car. Tight steering, roomy for compact, great stereo! Good on gas. My daughter had one and loved it! She had a huge mastiff and it fit with room to spare!

Reliable and fun and easy handling.

The Honda Fit is highly versatile, and possesses a surprisingly roomy interior considering how tiny it looks on the outside. The engine is tiny, but it gets the job done for this car. The car is very maneuverable with a tiny turning radius. Gas mileage is great.

Compact Car For Dependability

This car was trouble free we kept the oil changed @ 60% and regular servicing for 4 and a half years; never one break down. We were able to get approximately 35 or more highway mpg. Perfect for gas saving but most of all, totally dependable from recurrent mechanical failures. Recommend to anyone!!

Reliable Small Car with Lots of Storage

The 2009 Honda Fit (and subsequently the body style that was kept until 2013) is a great little vehicle with a surprising amount of room inside. The trunk space is very roomy, offering more cubic feet of storage than most small and medium SUVs. What?s more, the back seats fold completely flat, making a huge amount of space for hauling. Additionally, the seat area in the back actually fold up into the back, making a ton of available space for odd shaped objects. Over all, this car is far superior to the remodeled design that occurred in 2015. I actually bought a 2015, then sold it and bought another 2009 before trading that in two years later.

Bang for the buck!

Other than a few self repairable quirks, fantastic practical, economical and reliable car. Good intro car for young adult or teenager. Better than Toyota Matrix or Mazda 3.

Loved my fit

This car was perfect. Im trading it in for something with lower miles but would recommend the fit to anyone. The AC was the only thing that ever needed replacing.

Fun to drive.

Good acceleration, quiet inside while driving, deceptively room interior and excellent handling even driving in the rain. The car doesn?t drive or ride like a small car.

The Fit fit me!

The dealer allowed me a ?training wheels? teat drive and it told me nothing about the car. I insisted on a lengthy drive, 10 or 15 miles long to get a feel for the car. I put it through its? paces and it ran well, shifted well, and behaved better than I was expecting for an 8 year old car with 110 K miles on it.
