2007 Honda Fit 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
This car is awful. I feel so unsafe in this car plus it is so uncomfortable and I am very short. The car rattles and the mechanics can't find the problem. Gas mileage is not what they say it is. The tires that come with the car do not last. I would not recommend this car to anyone.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
Review
We drove 2 new Civic manual trans for 12 yrs each with no problems. As for the Fit: Wire harness recall. Starter motor replaced at 34,000 m. Broken front axle, and manual trans. replaced at 39,000. We've lived in the same place since 1984, same driving conditions, same avg. miles per yr. Fit's a relatively new model, and its reliability hasn't really been tested until now. We'll soon know if the car's Fit to be called a Honda.
Favorite Features
Storage capacity. Fuel economy. Interior quality.
Suggested Improvements
Mechanical! In over 25 years experience with Hondas, only the Fit has been proven to be unreliable. And it's not cheap compared with other cars in its class.

Review
When I test drove the Fit, I listened for road noise/cabin noise because I drive quite a bit. I should have driven the car longer. The cabin noise is simply overwhelming at times. I will consider other tires to see if this helps, but the noise is so loud, it makes the car feel cheap and tinny. Don't get me wrong: I love this car - I just can't stand the amount of road noise I hear. And my wife doesn't like the stereo playing at full blast in order to drown it out!
Favorite Features
The MPG is fantastic, but I mostly love the maneuverablity, handling, and ability to park just about anywhere.
Suggested Improvements
Honda has to address the cabin noise. Simply saying that it is to be expected in a car at this price is a lame excuse. If it doesn't improve, this will sadly be my last Honda.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
I get 40 mpg on the hi-way! If it is cooler in the season and the a/c doesn't need to be on that little car is great. It will drop down to about 37 mpg hi-way with the a/c turned on. I'm planning on driving it up to NE Georiga next month, so the truth will be known on the mpg then, but It's great to fill it up on a meer 10.00 while others are laying out 20-50 dollar per fill up

Wish it has a bit more leg room since I'm 6'4" Wish the parts on a 2009-2010 would fit on a 2007. I just love those new back seats
Great people and cargo hauler

Review
After 3 years and 25k miles, I haven't had to change a thing, not even the windshield wiper rubber! It lives up to the Honda reputation. Ample room and flexible seat arrangements allows you to carry big or long items, saving the cost of buying a truck. Its headroom is larger than most SUV and midsize cars.
Favorite Features
Utility. I once put in a 4 feet plant in it at upright position, which amazed people around me.
Suggested Improvements
I'd love it to be a larger car and feel more robust. Honda offers FRV (or Edix) in Europe and some Asian nations, which is a "Civic-based Fit". The car seats 6, and is as versatile as Fit. I wonder why it is n/a in my nation. It would save me the money for a van.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
Review
It's all wrong ! The transmission setup is really awful. The gearing ratio into first gear and second result in a noticeable hesitation as the computer tries to match up with the short gear and the computer fuel delivery system. These tiny engine/trans crammed into a tiny space don't leave much room for clutch travel. Whereby we have a short time to ease the clutch out and get moving. The feel is not really smooth at all, and I have always enjoyed sticks. But in this car, get the auto and spare yourself the grief. This car even chatters backing up a hill. I am sorry I bought mine, it's very peppy and looks racy and cute, but I can't get comfortable with the transmission.
Favorite Features
The seat storage versatility, flat floor, and large rear door, and don't forget the MPG.
Suggested Improvements
How about we start using some plastic on the interior, dashboard, etc that doesn't scratch so dang easy. I mean kids have toys you can throw across the road and they don't show a mark. But get into the front seat with a backpack or purse and see what the zipper does to your glovebox door. Nice.
Not in love with it

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
This car is fun to drive (in good weather) and gets great mileage, but beware of driving it in the rain or snow. It just doesn't handle snow and ice like all the other Hondas that I've owned since 1974. I actually had to have it towed once and the snow wasn't really that deep. Tires are expensive and hard to find. A big part of the money you save in gas goes towards maintenance and tires. $$$ I should have purchased a Civic.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage, easy to parallel park.
Suggested Improvements
Better tires, bigger tires, better handling in bad weather.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
Has been 1.5 years and still running well. I like its practicality, roomy interior and simple dash layout make it easy to control - too simple that it looks a bit dull. Good engine performance for its class, although the AC lacks it sometimes (good maintenance would be to minimize it). Having much trouble with its huge front pillar, making a blind spot when turning.
Favorite Features
magic seat, fuel econ, easy to park
Suggested Improvements
Resize the front pillar! It makes a huge blind spot.
Tundra to FIT= easier than it looks

Review
I went from a Tundra to a Fit. The savings on gas alone is close to the monthly payment. Being able to fold the seats flat I have been able to fit everything that I have needed to. It is a surprisingly fun car to drive and I can fit the kids and enough stuff for a long weekend. Only complaint is a creaking sound from the dash.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage, fold flat seats, Ipod jack.
Suggested Improvements
A rear 12V power outlet, better carpet.

Review
This car is not good if you are planning to have children, you cant fit the stroller in the trunk with many grocery bags. The back seat is small and with the car seat you can only fit one adult. There is not much leg room for a tall man in the passenger seat, your knees hit the dash board. Unless you live where the roads are paved smooth this car isn't for you, if you go over a pebble it feels like you wrecked the car. I didn't know the tires didn't have locks, and some low life robbed all my alloy wheels and tires, cost 1,000.
Favorite Features
gas mileage, ipod jack
Suggested Improvements
More leg room, the radio is better in a Ford Focus, so, better radio, better suspension, ride is too bumpy. Needs arm rest.
