2018 Honda Fit consumer reviews

This car is amazing I like it a lot sport version and al the space you can make with the back seat is great also the gas is unbelievable great deal.

This car is perfect for daily needs. I love the interior space and hatchback. It is comfortable for commuting, hauling art supplies and shuttling kids around.

I bought the fit with 4500 miles on it. First week I had it 2? of water on passenger side. I now have 7300 miles and now another 2 inches of water!! I have reasearched this issue and seems all years have this problem WHY NO RECAL???

I was skeptical at first if this car would be big enough for me, my daughter's car seat, and two dogs, but it fits all of us and there is room for the stroller. The Honda Fit is easy to use and very fuel efficient. I love that it has Bluetooth connection as well as a back up camera. There is also three cup holders in the front seat.

It was hard to see the normal Honda quality in this car. It was really loud, had a high level of road feel. Great gas mileage. Storage capabilities were mind-blowing?!

I was impressed by how much leg room it has in the back passenger side. I have plenty of space for cargo. I definitely like the stylish exterior.

This car is great. I get awesome gas mileage . Very easy to drive. It is a standand and great ease of shifting. A wonderful vehicle

I?ve had my new Honda Fit Sport for about three weeks and so far I like it a lot. It zips around town well, is small enough to find a great parking spot, visibility is wonderful, styling is flashy (in red for this grandma to be seen!!!?) . I have always had a manual and this one does not disappoint. The shifting is easy and the response is wonderful. There is a lot of room inside and the hatch is grand for loading groceries easily. The price was good for me and the dealer made it sweeter. Good choice!!!

Good on gas. Many space instead. Exhalent for a young family! Work great with Android Phone and with Apple iPhone. Has a good audio sounds. The sport mod it's really fun to drive. Great car good price!!!

I got my 2018 Fit Sport (which slots in above the base LX, but below the EX and EX) in January 2018, in Aegean Blue Metallic, which is a deep blue bordering on indigo. It gets looks just about everywhere I go. I went to this from a 1995 Honda Civic DX hatchback without air conditioning, so this Fit was like a luxury car in comparison! SAFETY While my old 1995 Civic kept soldiering on, I knew that one thing I could never upgrade it with was more safety in a collision. So, the Fit's modern body structure and excellent IIHS crash test ratings were a deciding factor in the purchase. WHAT THE SPORT TRIM GIVES--AND DOESN'T GIVE--YOU The Sport trim gets you ground effects from the front bumper all the way to the back, fog lights up front, a Sport badge on the back of the car, and a touchscreen entertainment system that connects with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. (This last part was the deciding factor for me to get this trim level.) There's also red thread interwoven along the piping on the seats. What you don't get (without paying more or going EX and up) is Honda Sensing (lane and vehicle detection), any extra power (all Fits have the same power output), sunroof, or a six-speed manual. The Sport comes with an automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission), which is very odd when driving if you've never driven a CVT. A CVT is like a belt between two conical pulleys that move as you increase/decrease the throttle. Power delivery is smooth and linear, with no surges you'd be used to in a conventional transmission that shifts gears (automatically or manually). RIDE Despite a live axle in the rear (on paper, a step down from the fully independent suspension on my old Civic), the ride is very smooth, and the suspension soaks up most bumps just fine without being jarring or rough. The live axle does let you know it's there when you drive over a speed bump, and the axle xxxxxxdown once you clear the bump. HANDLING The handling is reasonable, with steering a little overboosted (light), and the body expectly rolls a bit during fast/hard cornering, since the car is suspended a bit high. INTERIOR The interior fabrics look and feel nice, though seem thin. I'm curious to see how the left edge of the driver's seat fares over the years as I get in and out of the car every day. The gauges are sharp, with a blue backlit digital display (EX and up get a color LCD) with trip computer and other related information. One of the biggest selling points of the Fit is its versatile seating layouts. The back seats can fold their bottoms straight up, exposing the floor under them to carry potted plants and other tall items (maybe a bike?). All four seats can fold to make a reasonably flat surface from front to back, for...I'm not sure what. Maybe power naps? One thing my Fit didn't come with was a cargo cover for the trunk. It's $300 from the dealer, so I wasn't about to go that route. It can be had for half that on eBay, though the price is still steep. Googling revealed that some Fit owners fashion their own on the cheap! Frustrating touch display In my old car, I just used nav on my phone, which was magnetically mounted to the dash. So, I figured I would have a huge upgrade driving a car that was made to display my phone's nav, music, and other things on a large touch display! Well... The touch display in the center of the dash is a 7" LCD, and you can set its sensitivity to light/hard touch. I paired mine with an Android phone, and this is where the frustration set in: even with the phone's factory charging cable (always advised by Google or Apple for in-car systems), my phone would only successfully connect to, and show information on, the car's display about 50% of the time. At least on the Android Auto side of the stereo, app response is slow to switch between audio and navigation, and sometimes takes a whole minute to load once you connect your phone. This is not a system you'd just jump into the car and navigate with! You can also tell it to store some frequently dialed numbers, and access them and Android Auto via steering wheel buttons. OVERALL IMPRESSIONS Despite the annoying in-car entertainment system, the car overall is solid, and one I don't have to think/worry about in terms of reliability, much like my old Honda. Mine came in a hair above $18K, and I expect a long and favorable journey with it, just like its predecessor!
