Still rocking the fit.

2012 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
I'm the 6'6" guy who still drives his fit. I continue to really like the car, although now I have a child seat to place in back, which I didn't before. All of the good things are still good and decent about the car, however an average sized person cannot sit in the passenger seat with the car seat behind. This is the only reason why I am looking for a larger vehicle. Otherwise if it … was just my wife and myself, I would drive the car until the tires fell off, but I simply can't fit another car seat behind my seat. Truly, the only regrettable trait of the vehicle. It regularly is getting 35+ mpg, mixed driving. Best I've done is 41 and the absolute worst (just one time) I got 32.1 mpg.
Lastly, the stock radio reception has been very poor. Maybe I never noticed before, but it makes it difficult to enjoy any broadcast stations.
2012 Fit Sport with 5 speed manual

2012 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
I really like this car.
I was concerned I would not like a relatively inexpensive car.
The Fit Sport has exceeded my expectations.
I had read so many positive reviews by national media and was hoping they were right.
I agree, a lot of car for the money!
I drove the Fit Sport with an automatic/paddle shifters was not that impressed, then I drove the Fit Sport with the manual.
I was … sold.
That transmission "fits" the small engine well.
Acceleration is surprisingly strong.
Tourqe too.
2012 Honda Fit Sport MT in Vortex Blue

2012 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
I waited 2 weeks for this color to come in from Japan and boy am I glad I did, It is gorgeous, and you don't see it as often as the other colors. The car is fantastic, I def had to get the Manual Transmission and it is soo much better than the Auto. Right now, the car has almost 1,000 miles and I am soo far averaging 33.5 MPG. The updates for 2012 seemed to have worked as the interior is … much quieter than the older model. The seats are comfortable, it only cost me $28 bucks to fill up, and its fun to drive. I'd say I have a winner with this car and I could not be happier!
2nd Fit purchased new

2012 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
The wife and myself owned a 2008 Fit while living abroad in Europe.
When we moved back to the States, we purchased another Fit.
For a compact car, Honda really managed to cram a whole lot into this vehicle without making it seem over-done.
Fit and finish is quite nice, along with the overall design.
This car works, it's practical, very lively to drive (with the stick) and very fuel … efficient 36 highway and 33 in town.
I am 6'6" 210 lbs and fit very very well in this car.
My knees don't hit anything on the way in or out.
Loading height is great whether you're 5'2, like my wife, or my size.
I would buy a 3rd fit if I ever felt so inclined to get another family member in one.
