2010 Honda Fit consumer reviews

The Honda FIT is a marvelous automobile. The only reason I traded it in my 2010 Honda FIT was because the 2013 Honda FIT, also in my favorite color, became available as my three year lease was coming to a close. The storage area with the back seats down was huge. It carried a lot of stuff when I needed it. Reliable, comfortable, and easy to drive. Considered a compact car, I could drive in narrow roads and park where other cars couldn't. I loved this car enough to lease another FIT. Get this vehicle while its still available. You won't regret it.

I got my new, black, 2010 Fit Sport after the 2011 model was released, it was a previous year holdover which saved me a few bucks (but cost me the standard vehicle stability control, which was disappointing). I love cars and performance cars in particular, but I had been longing for this particular vehicle since the redesign. I just love the way it looks, believe it or not, (even the previous design), and the combination of a small package with great space and a fun ride were too much to pass up at the price point. The car's best feature is the cargo space and versatility. It looks tiny from the outside, but open the door and it feels like you're climbing into a small SUV or a crossover. I usually keep the rear seats folded down, and it's like I have my own little cargo van. I can't imagine actually filling it up with stuff; I can even fit almost any full-size bicycle inside without taking off either of the wheels. Other features I like: the sound system (great quality and volume with automatic highway adjustment), dual glove boxes, comfortable seats and nice - not fancy - interior trim, adequate performance and very good handling. The car very rarely leaves me wishing for more power, except during short passing zones and when I just wish I could zip up to 100+ for the heck of it. But, that lack of top-end power might just be considered a safety feature to some. Pretty good gas mileage - I typically get 30-33 mpg, with mostly city driving, and I've gotten over 40 mpg on long road trips with a car full of passengers and gear. Things I don't love: the small 10.5ish gallon gas tank leaves me with a typical range of about 325 miles, which sends me to the gas station far more often than I would like for a car with such good fuel economy. I am certain that they sacrificed fuel capacity for the sake of interior space, which is a fair trade. Rear drum brakes are lame, even though I have really never had trouble stopping the car. Just feels a little squishy compared to 4-wheel discs. The paddle shifters are a nice thought, and I would have bought the manual if it was available at the dealer so I figured I would use them often, but I don't. The transmission is not responsive when using them, and I can't imagine any real increase in performance or fuel economy. Some of the interior plastic, especially on the doors, looks and feels a little cheap, but this is a cheap car. I've been expecting to buy a new, higher performance car in the next few years - maybe a Subaru WRX STI or a BMW 128i - and I have driven those and quite a few other comparable cars in recent weeks. Surprisingly though, I've not found anything that I really would rather have as a daily driver, especially since I almost own the Fit outright, and it holds its value so well. I just can't imagine trading in the Fit until it has at least 75000 miles on it, even if I'm able to 'upgrade' sooner. The car is just that good. My suggestion if you are considering a used 2010 Fit with 40 or 50 thousand miles on it; spend a few grand more and buy a new one. You'll get the latest features, a factory warranty, and the car will not cost you that much more than a used one will. Plus you'll reap the benefits of the Fit's excellent retained value yourself, instead of giving it to someone else.

The technology in the fit is way more advanced than my 2008 Mercedes CLK350. The a/c and heat is immediate. This little 4 cylinder is quite fast, I zip in and out of anything, anywhere! I wanted the Fit because of the cargo space, I like to cycle and my bike fits perfectly with the rear seats down. I love, love my Fit!

30+in town 40 hwy loads of useful space.the best vehicle for the money.Large cargo as a Suv or crossover at 1/2 price

This is a really cool car for the money. Good gas milage, great manuverability, exceptional sound system for the price and fund to drive. I drive a lot and do exterior property inspections. This car allows me to turn on a dime, get my photos and move on. At the same time, has a USB port, so I keep my iphone plugged in and charged while playing itunes through the car stereo.

The FIT has two big things going for it - great gas mileage and amazing interior space. Yes, the back setas flip down and you can fit a bike or even sleep in the back - but what no one tells you is there is great leg room for back seat passengers when the seat is in use. My 6'7" son can sit comfortably - no small feat. Comfort? Eh. Long trips will require a few breaks to stretch - this car isn't about cushy captain's chairs. But if you want a practical vehicle that is called "the musician's car" for a reason, check out the FIT.

Great commuter car - my average is 34.4 mpg but I drive fast. I got the stick so it feels a little more sporty.

I previously had a VW Beetle, which was an upkeep nightmare. My car was always breaking down or in the shop, AND it was expensive to repair. It was time for a new vehicle, and I chose the Fit. It kind of fell into my lap, but I couldn't be happier. I have the "Sport" model, which is well worth the money. It has a kick to it, an amazing interior, and it's just a little cutie! The seats don't feel like a cushioned recliner, but they are sufficient. Yet, there is an awesome arm rest for the driver. I am beyond pleased with performance. It gets up hills, deals well with wind, rain, etc., and responds well to braking, accelerating, etc. I am currently getting about 31 MPG combined, which is far better than my older vehicle. On the freeway, this car is amazing, and it's quite zippy in the city. I have "Blackberry Pearl" as my color, and it's beautiful-kind of a purple/blue mixture. Everyone comments on the shade. The Fit has TONS of room. I can fit so much inside, and I keep finding new little gadgets! I had no idea that the radio displayed song/artist until recently, and I also discovered how fun driving is on "Sport" gear. I got a fantastic deal (or so I think) on this car, and it came with an optional extended comprehensive warranty. The car was certified when I bought it, so it automatically came with an extended powertrain warranty (and peace of mind!). Hondas are notorious for reliability, so I hope this one lives up to its potential (knock on wood). I've only had "The Purple Princess" for two months, but I couldn't be happier! Go Fit!

The Fit is a different ride from a family sedan or minivan for a soccer Mom, but it has plenty of pep when needed. You can cram if full of stuff (including the dog). The G[S is a nice feature for a single woman. The only drawback is that the only choice of interior color is black...hard to keep clean. I've had it for two months know and the gas mileage is exactly as advertised...easy on the wallet.

I purchased my 2010 Honda Fit in Oct 10. I purchased it because I'm 6'3" tall and finding a comfortable small car was almost impossible until I drove the Fit. It's spunky, great to drive and super gas mileage. It also has the great ability to carry large objects with the back seats folded down. I have carried hundreds of pounds of sod ( I know, but it did the job), 8' of lumber and other building supplies in this car with no trouble. The only thing I don't like about it is the cheap interior. The price is a little higher than most compacts, but for the value it's worth it. Plan on getting another one when I'm throught with this one.
