Black interior gets old quick. Honda found great color schemes in the accord and civic, how come they have their blinders on with the fit?

My little Fit that can

Review

I currently have 23,000 miles on my Fit Base model that I purchased for my wife in September 2007. I have had no issues period with this car. It has made several east coast trips in the last few months. One trip down to FL averaged 42 MPG (with a tail wind)!!! That is just as good as my 1996 Civic CX that has 420,000 miles. The ABS system in this car is awesome, even while trailering to motorcycles. I made my own trailer hitch and have been moving everything I own down to FL, much cheaper than renting a truck. The interior is extremely comfortable, and the ride feels sporty even while lacking the get up and go to match it. All in all a great quality car well worth my cash.

Favorite Features

The dash layout is perfectly ergonomic, everything within reach. Fuel economy is awesome. I have been using this car to move from NC to FL pulling a trailer with anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 LBS each trip while averaging between 26-29 MPG! (Don't tell Honda Service)

Suggested Improvements

Wider tires with a smaller aspect ratio. The base model tires had a good bit of sidewall roll in aggressive corners. Switch to 205/40/R16 BFG KDWs made the car 10 times more responsive and agile!!! Raise the static compression and advance ignition timing for a little more go without compromising MPG.

I love my car

Review

I keep saying that "I love my car". My family is sick of it. I ran my fit to the empty line on gas. With air conditioning blaring on high all the time, it gets 25/30. With it on low most the time, I got 34/36 mpg. Yes, 36 mpg while commuting highway! It took over a year for my Fit to even show decent gas mileage, but they dealer had warned me about this, and knowing a great number mechanics and tow companies helped with not hading ridiculous expectations. It runs well, and with constant upkeep and regular checkups it shifts perfectly, and does not pull as a few other reviews have said. Keep your tire pressure up properly, and the noise goes away too.

Favorite Features

Paddle shifters on the automatic sport, iPod plug in, nice stereo on the sport, no arm rests...I hate them, so many ways to configure the seats, I can fit everything in there, I squeeze into ANY parking space or small passageway

Suggested Improvements

Passenger side mirror, back headrests are a little funky to see past, no locking gas cap...but the optional alarm goes off if the hatch for gas is opened and it's armed, takes awhile to see optimal gas mileage.

My fit

Review

Great sporty little car. A lot of interior room.Looks small on the outside but a lot on the inside. I put a 8 ft book case in back. The car handles excellent. Great cornering ans stability.The gas mileage less than advertised.30 mpg on highway and about 26 in town. Still ok but a lot less than advertised. In the winter time the windows fog up very easily. Very frustrating.

Favorite Features

Very sporty look and great handling. The front seats fit like a glove.And it's a HONDA.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the issue with windows fogging. Advertising the correct MPG.

Versatile, Zippy and Reliable

2007 Honda Fit 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I love my Fit! I live in the city, and the Fit's small size makes parking a breeze. But, I'm also a performer and I need to haul all manner of costumes, props and set pieces to and from shows. Despite the Fit's deceptively small exterior, I can pack a TON into the back. And, when I'm not hauling a full load of cargo, my two dogs and I pile in and we can zip around town. My only criticism is in regards to gas mileage. I've never achieved the 31-38 mpg range advertised. I average about 26 mpg in the city and (if I'm lucky!) 30 mpg on the highway. Other than that- no complaints at all!

Favorite Features

Huge cargo area, flexible seating, very cute exterior and interior design, zippy acceleration and handling

Suggested Improvements

Make it a hybrid!

Review

With gas prices blah blah blah, yes we all seem to be in the market for small cars and I'm no different. I literally tried every small car available and did not have to think twice about settling on the Honda Fit. It exudes confidence in itself on every level and matched all of my expectations. This car is a perfect fit for many.

Favorite Features

Quality build and materials, handles great, loads of standard safety equipment, great value.

Suggested Improvements

Si option, sunroof, somewhat obtrusive bulges due to the placement of the gas tank.

Good car overall

Review

Nice car overall, esp for the price. Amount of storage for a small car is amazing - can almost fit 8.5' kayak in completely. Almost handles very well. A few cons: Front seat room is a little tight for the taller folks. Gas mileages has been low for such a small engine - approx 30 - 31 MPG (quite a bit under EPA guidelines for when I purchased).

Really Great Small Car!

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

Review

Having never owed a Honda before, and used to driving a large American car with poor mileage, the car was an excellent change of pace. I love the colors and the stereo. I do a lot of freeway driving and it is wonderful on gas. Not so great in stop and go traffic. It handles really well although it took some getting used to after driving a large car. Haven't tried the paddles yet. I love this car!

Favorite Features

I like the turning ability in close spaces and parking is a breeze. The stereo and the cd player are great. There is a lot of room for car seats and kid stuff.

Suggested Improvements

As someone else posted, I also would like a dimming dome light, and arm rest. Tires could be a bit bigger. I have run into 2 curbs and they blew out. Rear bumper does scratch really easy and so does the front if you get too close to those cement curbs in parking lots. Extended visors.

Nearly Perfect Car

Vehicle

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I've driven a lot of cars and I can honestly say, it doesn't get much better than this for the money. I wanted good gas mileage, utility and performance. It handles great, the utility far surpasses my expectations and the gas mileage is, well, acceptable. It's a perfect around-town car: easy to park, great visibility, flexible seating and cargo set up. And I like the way it is simple, no frills. Honda put its effort in the right place.

Favorite Features

Handling, steering feel, visibility, shift action, easy-lift hatchback, easy-fold seats, aux jack, maintenance minder.

Suggested Improvements

Arm rest, 6th gear, better fuel economy.
