Love my Honda Fit!

This car may actually be one of the best values for the way it's engineered and the way it handles. Good road gription and comfortable for both short and long road trips. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs the four door model for ease of entrance with back seats that fold down for carrying larger loads, i.e. ones that exeed the trunk space. Roomy enough for four adults and the gadgets are fun, e.g. linking phone contacts for hands-free chit-chats. Also enjoy the back-up camera feature along a cd player and a 12 station pre-set for radio. Worth a trip to Anderson Honda in Cockeysville, MD if you happen to be local to Balto. Co. and want to test drive this vehicle. Ask for Chris Baker if you need their best salesperson. He's the consummate professional and he will find this or another car that's right for you!

Beautiful, comfortable, affordable

This was my wife's dream car and so far it hasn't disappointed. It's a smooth drive. To be a smaller car, the interior is extremely spacious. You almost feel like you're in a mini van when you drive it. We would highly recommend this car to anyone in the market for an affordable, dependable, fuel efficient vehicle. And the $23 fill up doesn't hurt either!

Exceptiona gas mileage if driven conservative

Exceptional value. Have had previous Hondas and this things fit a family of four and I regularly get 42+mpg highway mileage. Comfortable to drive only negative is slightly strange styling.

One of the best subcompact cars I have driven!

At my current financial standing this car turns out to be the best option although I hear some sounds and a few minor discrepancies which I didn't expect by now, own it barely 2 years and 3 months.

It's a mini, economical SUV

PROs (I do have the top end model with all the bells and whistles): The Fit is like a mini SUV the way the backseats convert into 4 positions. Having a hatch, it's so versatile. It's so compact that I can fit (no pun intended) into almost every parking space with room to spare, and do simple Uturns or 3 pt turns. Great gas mileage. Being a small car, everything in the front is essentially reachable from the front seat. I was worried about my back as it had not been in great shape for a yr or two, because I'd heard bad things about the seats in the Fit. While I can't attest to sitting in the back seats, the front ones are fine, firm, ergonomic. Good leg room and I'm 5' 8". CONS: The one thing I wish it would do is connect my iPod via bluetooth. You need a lightning cord for that. Bluetooth only works for your cell phone. Don't let the car sit in the winter without use (ie 20-30 mins uninterrupted drives at least once a wk). I don't use my car to commute to work and live close to the downtown so in the southern Ontario Canadian winter I let it sit. The battery needed a boost after not even 2 yrs, on a decent March morning (ie close to 0C/32F). It's a small battery. So from Nov to April I will likely keep a solar panel plugged into my 12V outlet to use as a trickle charger.

I love this little thing.

This car has great gas mileage, and, despite its diminutive size, it has plenty of room for my family. More back seat leg room than many large sedans (at least until you try to squeeze three people into the back seat). I'm a lead footed driver and still average over 30 in the city.

I would happily purchase another Fit

It's easy to handle, easy to park, easy to drive - both highways and byways. Visibility is good. Easy to clean snow off (I wish I'd had less experience with that this winter!!). I'm leasing it and that comes with some maintenance and free oil changes.
