2nd review Honda FIT

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

Review

2nd review now that owned a year. 40+ hwy mileage, 26-29 city. Previous mileage problems now blamed on gas pumps. Car is stylish, very comfortable-great seats but don't clean easily with very nice interior design. Car has much more storage room than one thinks with very versatile interior. Front of car is very very low and often hits. Front of car is not visible so cannot judge distance and will hit parking blocks. Car has no pick up but then gets the mileage. The ride is comfortable for such a small car and handles nicely and zips right along on long trips. Load maximum is 850 which isn't much and wasn't discussed. Paint seems to mark easily and is necessary to wash with care.

Favorite Features

Mileage, interior versatility, very comfortable seats, purple interior lights-nice, safety features, reliability, and little front window for visibility and style.

Suggested Improvements

Front end needs to be higher and visible from driver's seat. Radio speakers on better radio could be better and better antenna for am. Seat coverings are hard to clean but look good. Paint scratches and swirls easily.

Review

We get 30-32 mpg city & 37-38 hwy. Fast, sporty, cute. Good going up mts. & narrow roads. Lots of room in front & back seats. We weigh 290 lbs. & 195 lbs. & have no problem getting in/out of the car. Love the headrests turning backwards. Put new brake pads & rotors on after 65,000 miles. Great car! Uncomfortable on long drive. Stop every 2-3 hrs. To rest our backs. We stopped in our caddy, too. No regrets.

Favorite Features

fuel economy, hatchback, rear seats folding up for floor cargo, & folding down like a small station wagon.

Suggested Improvements

Arm rests connected to the front seats between the driver & passenger. Push up when not needed, down to rest arms & a pouch behind drivers seat.

Review

I love my fit, it's fun to drive, excellent performance and steering. I can fit as much in the back as I did in my truck. I do wish the gas tank was a few gallons larger though.

Favorite Features

Steering and handling. Room in the back.

Suggested Improvements

Heavy duty wiper blades. Drive seat should adjust to height. Larger gas tank.

Review

The Fit is fantastic. I needed something fuel efficient, and something to transport dogs and bikes. I looked at other hatchbacks, new and used, and this seemed like the most bang for the buck, even brand new. I was in awe at the amount of interior space for such a tiny-looking car. With the back seats folded flat, I can fit 2 bikes, luggage, 2 dogs and 2 people! I can also fit both dogs in the back/hatchback area and 4 people in the car simultaneously. I have friends that borrow the Fit to move furniture (chairs, dressers) - something typically reserved for trucks, but the Fit can handle it!

Favorite Features

Seats fold flat (essential), lots of interior space, good fuel economy,

Suggested Improvements

Sunroof option, arm rest (not that big of a deal)

Not as good as a '95 Tercel.

Review

I've had four new Hondas over the years plus one Prelude I bought used. I thought I could trust Honda to build a good car. Wrong. My wife's car is a (shorter) '95 Tercel 2-DR automatic. The mileage is low on the Fit because the Tercel is more fun to drive for all small-load trips, both grocery- store and X-country. Here's why: Seats too low; no lumbar support; paddled steering wheel uncomfortable; body too wide (turn radius, parking, traffic); ride jittery and steering too quick (needs constant attention on frwy); instruments poor, and disappear in sunlight; fast cornering not fun; windshield posts too thick (pedestrians); transmission gasps; mileage mediocre. The brakes are good.

Favorite Features

People think I'm smart to own it.

Suggested Improvements

Make the glove box big enough to hold the car's manual. How about a heat gauge?

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?

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.
