New with only 20 miles on the odometer!

I was impressed with the interior set up and the amount of room in the vehicle for being a small car. Plenty of cargo room as well! I love having the extra benefits on this car--leather seats, moon roof, touch screen, technology is a good thing--not too much and just enough!--love the back up camera and blind spot camera with the grids! I feel the Honda brand offers a good reputation for their vehicles and resale values prove they have excellent quality. A great little car for general personal use--I've only driven it 80 miles the first week but I adore it and feel really comfortable driving it!

Great little car

Great little car, bought it with my wife in mind. Handles like a charm and has great power to pass slower drivers. When using the eco button averaging 38 mpg county/city driving.

Awesome car

Was looking for an economic car that had room for my two large dogs, a couple suitcases and was fun to drive....found it in the Honda Fit!

Worst Honda Production

I bought this car brand new mainly because I was looking for something with great gas mileage. I drive over 70 miles a day round trip because I?m finishing my PhD at a school located outside of Dallas. I kept this car for 14 months before I got rid of it by the lease termination. This car slowly fell apart after the first month. Just after 5,000 miles it needed new brakes and rotors. It hardly ever rains but when it did the wipers jumped across the glass so I had to purchase new ones. The Bluetooth connect never worked with my iPhone and the voice recognition was a joke. It nevered would dial a number when voicing a command. The mpg was over estimated by 10 miles which it actually got about 29 on the hwy. There is no factory warranty for the new tires which are cheap. In one year I?d replaced all 4 for one reason or another. It?s built is horrible. Just leaning on it will or did make a dent in the door. After 15,000 miles it seemed everything in the car rattled. It?s was an awful ridiculous decision to get this car. You get what you pay for I guess in this situation.

Best vehicle decision I have made!

This car was a great decision for me! I recently bought a Nissan Versa Note and did not like it at all. Ended up trading out of it into this Honda fit and although they look similar the difference is incomparable! The Honda fit FEELS safe and secure especially driving over the mountain pass and in winter weather. There so so much more usable space with how the seats lift and also in the hatch trunk area! I am so glad I made the switch! I am very impressed with my Honda!

Happy Camper!

Had an 18 year old Miata with 117k and traded it in for the Honda Fit EX - purchased 8/17 and just now have 2650 miles on it - love putting the back seat down for grocery shopping, Home Depot purchases, and general hauling. Put cargo area cover and pet seat covers (black) on front seats as well as deep molded black mats in the front to protect the car's interior. My bike fits in the back easily. Gas mileage 32-34 avg and 40-42 on the turnpike - I love the wheels on the EX - I have a manual shift - pick up almost as good as my old Miata - got a sunroof - at least needed that if I was giving up a convertible :-). It may not be a sports car but shall I tell you again about all I can do with the space behind the front seats? NO REGRETS about this wise purchase ... at least for me :-)

Nice economical vehicle

It is a very comfortable fit for someone of my stature. I feel very in control when I?m driving.The feeling is I belong in this car.I love the color and the style as well as the additional features of the syncing of the iPhone with the blue tooth,, back up camera and the sun roof.

10,000 miles in, so far so good.

It is a little loud sometimes when you are stepping on the gas, and I certainly don't like the CVT transmission, other than that it is a decent car.

Fit #1 of 15 Subcompacts tested

The vehicle has lived up to its press-terrific mileage, roomy driving area, and super room in the back, accessible by very easy to stow seats. Small tank with small range, but this is fine as I only use it for errands. The blue&green lights on the dash tell you when you are maximising fuel.
