Just Bought this and I love it!

I haven't had it long enough to really comment on the reliability, but so far so good. I love that I don't have to climb out of my car. The seating is higher up, I just slide in and out, easy on my back and knees. My backpack fits under the driver's seat (from the rear)! I don't have to bend my head to get into the seat (like I did for the Yaris). Back seat is super roomy. I love the fact that all the seats fold down to carry big items.

What! No cargo cover?!

I really don't need any more than this car. Versatile, smallish, good mpg (40). "Magic seats!" A few fit and finish issues but they were taken care of. Am a bit disappointed in no cargo cover, no mats, cheap "carpeting". You do get what you pay for but my main hope is that the reliability will prove to be a fact because this may be the last car I buy. But I think I thought that about 4 cars ago!!!!

This is the best car that I have ever owned,

My new car has all of the features that I was looking for. I wanted the rear view camera; it has it. I want a moonroof; it has it. I wanted a vehicle with a classy look; I think my fit does have a classy look.

Great car

Made a great choice. Plenty of leg room. Has 2 outlets, 2 usb ports, and a HDMI port. The left side blind spot camera is awesome. And it has plenty of get up, and go.

Love my fit!

For a Fit it is very roomy, handles great, awesome gas mileage. Hondas are great to begin with but I love the fit!

I Love my Fit!

The car is easy to drive. Excellent visibility. I prefer the standard shift to automatic as it provides more power when merging and driving up hills. I couldn?t be happier with my Fit!

Small car big on space

Having had my previous Honda for over 19 years, when I needed to replace it I of course chose Honda again. My CRV was one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. I have had my new Honda fit for three weeks now, and so far it is proving to be a great choice It seems to have a lot of pep and the interior has way more space than one might imagine in such a small car. I did run into one strange problem ? when I first got the car it seemed to have a walkaway locking system. When I close the car door and walked away the car would beep and I assumed it was locked. When something was left on inside the car accidentally the battery died and after it was jumpstarted the walk away locking system stopped working. I took it to the Honda dealer and eventually was told that feature was not available on the Fit EX model. Strangely, it did seem to work previously. It is a small thing, but I've really liked that feature and I am not sure why it worked if it was not supposed to originally. The car has other great features like a Sideview and rear view camera, keyless entry and start, good size visual display screen, and audio and cruise control buttons conveniently located on the searing wheel. I am anticipating much enjoyment with this new car.

Feeling content with this car!

After driving the Civic, Ford C-Max, and Fit, the Fit was by far the best value for my money. It is a compact but is solidly built, stability control, and smooth. The ride is like a much larger car. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats. Its suspension is a little firm, but the ride is still comfortable on the highway! On my first 200+ mile trip, I averaged 33 mpg. This car has an incredible cargo space, easy to drive, and great fuel economy .
