VERY SPORTY YET PRACTICAL - HONDA FIT EX

It certainly meets my needs and more - allows me to load a bike, home repair items and groceries without space issues - just love the "magic" backseat for transporting plants - perfect for traveling - the beach, camping, cross country -STILL patting myself on the back for making such an attractive useful auto purchase! Highly recommend this vehicle!!

Best in class

I was shopping around for a car. Some of the things I was looking for is fuel economy, storage space, price and performance. I compared a few cars, and it came down to a fit and a Toyota Yaris. Honda wins hands down. Here are some of the things I love about The car. The magic seats are amazing. The car is small, but it can carry a ton. I usually keep the back seats folded up so the dog can sit in the back on the floor without getting hair on the back seats, she loves it. The fuel economy is good/ average. The car performance is very good. I do like the handling, it is very responsive and sporty. Over all the performance is above average. Very fun to drive and easy to park, excellent visibility. The car is also very good in the snow/ winter I should point out. Some stuff that would make the car better. The color options are limited. Ended up setting for a red, but wanted a more interesting color. The fuel tank is very small. Need to fill up more often then other cars. The third seat belt in the back is a pain to use. They should have designed a standard seat belt. Took a long time to figure out how it works. The paint/ materials are not that durable. It scratches very easily. Although it is much better than Toyota in that price range. Overall I think the Honda Fit is best car in the hatchback category I have tried. It offers the most room, solid performance and fun to drive, for a great price...

great car to lease

I recently leased a 2017 Honda Fit after having a Civic for over 10 years. I find the Fit very comfortable both to drive and just to sit in. I feel I have more control over the vehicle and safe. The Fit gives you excellent gas usage and I find I don't have to buy gas as often as in the past. On the highway it drives smooth and due to its right view camera makes it safer to change lanes. I highly recommended the Honda Fit to anyone leasing or buying.

Very functional, handy car.

Excellent handling and design...Interior seats are woven cloth ...not durable.....Seats should be slightly wider. Interior hatch release is needed.

Overpriced in comparison to similar models

I like Hondas, but found the Fit to to drive sluggish and in comparison to similar models it is overpriced. I would suggest other models before the Fit that can offer similar or more for the money.

I'm a new Fit fanatic!

Just purchased one recently and I can't believe the value for the money. Also, easy to operate, maintain and has all the power and performance I need. Granted I am a middle-aged lady who mainly commutes to work by bus, so take my opinion for what you will, but this car offers a lot of value for the price! Also my mechanic seldom sees them in his shop and that really matters, since my last car was a bit of a money-sink.

after all these years

My parents needed a new car and were hesitating. But the John B. at Whitby/Oshawa Honda assisted them with everything to ease their nerves. They have never been happier with a purchase.

Surprisingly Roomy

I recently test drove a 2017 Honda Fit EX. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance, handling, and comfort of this vehicle. This is a very economical car but can go if you need to and does not break the bank. Highly recommended.
