From subways to car owner

After using the subway in NYC for 25 years, I moved back to Arizona, where a car is necessary. Doing much research, I purchased the 2018 Honda Fit. The drivers seat could use more room, as I'm six feet tall. The passengers area in back is very comfortable, even for tall passengers. The gas mileage is great. The cargo capabilities are excellent with the back area configurations, especially for transporting art. The safty features are worthy enough to have a lower rates on insurance than my used Nissan Altima. Car has plenty of power for the road. I am happy with my 'Clementine' (orange) car.

I’ve owned one before excellent car

This car is versatile in every sense of the word Lots of luggage room Great gas mileage My 2010 I put 173k on it before I was hit and they totaled it It had the original clutch Never had any issues with that 2010 model Towed my race bike with the car The 2018 is a much improved model over the 2010 model which I owned That’s why I bought another one Got 7 years on the battery and went over 50k on a set of tires They even increased the A/C which was a problem on the earlier cars

My second Fit, and I love both of them

I wanted something small (to have a lighter impact on the environment), fuel efficient, and fun. The Fit was all that (this little car has more horsepower that my old BMW) and is great fun to drive, especially the paddle shifters! The new one is as reliable as the older (2009) one was, and that one has now been driven may times cross country. Sure, Consumer Reports says the ride is rough, but their readers prefer huge SUVs which are, in case you haven't heard, what's called "stranded technology."

Most reliable car I’ve owned

Everything about this car’s design inside & out will make our road trips so much more enjoyable! Spacious, yet close enough to reach, comfortable ride-both front & back, foldable seats, safety features, especially right rear camera, Moon roof audio, plenty accessory ports! LOVE IT ALL!!!

So far, so good

This car has met my needs. At my age and with my lifestyle, it will probably be the last car I buy. That said...I have been used to a car with a standard transmission and higher up off the ground. I miss the power and ability to go over bumps. Perhaps lI woulda shoulda bought a hybrid vehicle. Just thoughts. Its a good little car and Hondas are reliable.

Drivers Way gave me the best deal I've ever had...

I purchased my 4th Honda Fit from Drivers Way. Obviously, I'm a fan. I recently had a serious auto accident, and I truly believe this car saved me from serious injury if not my life. I've had a 2013, 2014, 2015 Honda Fit, and just purchased a 2018 with 2800 miles from Drivers Way. I got the best deal of all from Drivers Way. Love, love, love my Fit.

Great value for the money, great in snow

This is the most recent in a long line of Honda purchases since 1992. It's been very reliable like all of them and is the absolute best in the snow of any that I have owned, even without snow tires. The Vehicle Stability Assist is fantastic. It has plenty of pep for CT hills, even in Econ mode which I run all the time. I get 38-40 mpg all summer long and am 34-35 in the cold months. The "magic" folding back seats are incredibly useful for transporting all kinds of things, long and tall. This is my second Fit, I had a 2008 previously. My first Honda not made in Japan which I was very apprehensive about however I've had no problems at all in 14 months/12,000 miles.

Perfect Commuter

This is the best car I've owned. It's excellent on gas and I can get all my sports and camp equipment in it easily with the fold up chairs and back row folds down.

Techie and space friendly!

I love this car for many reasons, some of the main ones include, the amount of tech that is put into this car, the ample amount of space for a car with such a small foot print, the maneuverability, and ease of operation. Starting with the tech, there are so many great features on this car such as a rear back up camera, side camera display (so when you turn on your right hand turn signal what ever is in your right field of vision pulls up on your screen in your car!) the Apple car play, Sirius XM built in as well as Bluetooth and other such music tools! Only downside tech wise is the lack of a CD player which is now considered an add on in Honda?s book but I get where they are coming from. Regarding space, this car is so roomy on the inside! Like my boyfriend who is 6foot y?all has plenty of head space and leg space in the passenger seat and so do the passengers in the back! Also the cargo area is amazing with the fold down seats and the pull up seats (the back seats bottom, where you sit your butt, pull up completely so you can put in larger items such as a bike!) I love the space this car provides it holds more than my CRV did! This car is also really easy to handle on the road I can make quick turns while still feeling in control it also has great stopping time and so many features that go along with car safety! And for ease of operation, it has a digital cruise control so you know exactly how fast your going and it?s automatic as far as how many car lengths away you want to be from the car in front of you! It also has eco mode which helps out your gas mileage one average I usually get anywhere from 36-42/mph depending on where I?m driving around. Overall I love this car I would recommend it to first time drivers just because of its size and ease of driving. One slight downside is some weird blind spots (keep in mind I?m short so I have to sit kinda close to the steering wheel so I also get weird blind spots now matter what car I drive in!)
