Reliable, compact, great on gas.

I love this car. It’s compact on the outside but super spacious on the inside and It’s great on gas mileage. I haven’t had any issues and although little, this car runs very well and with all season tires this car is actually good in snow and rain.

Best Car I’ve Ever Owned

This car was a wonderful car. Had it for five years and never gave me a single problem. Drove it all around the country. It has plenty of space, far more than you’d expect. Gets great gas mileage. Only downside is the seats are the most comfortable. For short commutes and running errands around town it’s great but after a couple hours it’s pretty uncomfortable. It’s sturdier than you’d expect too. Got into a couple accidents in it, including hitting a deer than was lying in the middle of the road, and it needed less than $160 worth of work. Drove through Lincoln Nebraska day after a blizzard and didn’t do half bad in the snow. All in all would recommend.

Trouble free and excellent mileage

Very comfortable for average size person. Not many bells and whistles but looks classy. Have had compliments on looks ,believe it or not. Check it out if you are looking for a car that is attractive and economical.

Plucky little car...

Never had any reliability issues with this car in the 5+years I owned it. Decent mileage, OK drivability with the 5 speed. Besides the airbag recalls, which were not the car's fault, the only complaint I had about this car was it just felt too light and tinny. Hit a pothole, had to replace 2 tires. At 2200 lbs, it was just a bit too delicate for the bad roads and drivers we endure here in NM. So I replaced it with the Nissan Rogue S AWD. It did OK in the snow, but I'm sure the Rogue will do a lot better.

I love this Honda Fit car!

The interior design is absolutely genius! This little car can pack things that you can't fit into a much bigger car due to its interior design of the back row seats. It's fun to drive, very responsive and very economical! I have owned this one for five years and just bought another one!

Disappointed with the 28 MPG and seat

I like the cargo room and size of the car for maneuvering. I am very disappointed with the 28 MPG. I only have 40K miles on the car and the mileage getting worse. I don't understand why the reviews say 40 MPG? The front seats are quite uncomfortable and have no lumbar support. I don't sit in the back, however one friend said it was very uncomfortable and bumpy. Regarding the driver's seat, It took quite a bit of effort to add multiple pads and a lumbar pillow to help with comfort and get away from the head rest which curves forward way too much. I am 5 feet tall and the head rest cannot be adjusted for me. My neck was pushed too far forward. It was painful. The seat has very limited adjustments, only forward and back, which is unfortunate. I miss having an arm rest or 2 arm rests and a workable headrest. The motor is very loud, compared to other cars I have driven. I would recommend improving the seats, front headrests, adding arm rests, and significantly reducing the engine noise.

Honda Fit is perfect! Smooth riding commuter car

This car is little but roomy on the inside. Rides very smooth and gets excellent gas mileage. Doesn't have much power (taking off) but is perfect for the commuter or someone who drives highways a lot. Gets about 33-34 Mpg. Fills up for about $15 (in Ohio)! Seats fold all the way down so you have lots of space. Only downfall is the ugly interior cloth material (imo). I got universal car seat covers and it looks great! Base model doesn't have Bluetooth or touchscreen or spoiler, but has aux input and usb connection which is hidden nicely in the upper dash compartment.

Great for the money and mpg

The Fit has endless ways to pack it for trips. It really saves money on gas. I could probably get better mpg after doing some regular maintenance on it. For me and my 2 labs it's the perfect way to get around :)
