Used 2007 Honda Fit Consumer Reviews
Disappointed with gas mileage
I'm delighted with the interior styling and versatility of the Honda Fit but I've been disappointed with the gas mileage and the dealership's lack of concern. My first tank wowed me with 34 mpg which dropped to 24/25 mpg with each tank afterwards. I've experimented with slower driving, gentle take offs, and upgrading my gasoline choice only to get the same results. While I love the car, I bought it for the gas mileage which as you can see, I am not getting.
The Fit fits every need
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.

So far, so good
I bought my Fit 90 days ago. So far, so good. Its fun to drive and is pretty comfortable. Clearly a step up in the sub compact market. Downers are no arm rests, and small fuel tank. 2 more gallons would make the range awesome. But for now I still have to pull in to fuel more often than I would like. (but it only costs $20 so I don't complain much) If the longevity is up to Honda standards and crash ratings come in high then this will be a very big winner for Honda. No regrets except I can't keep my teenage son out of it.
For a Honda it rides like a horse buggy
The looks are nice but comfort wise its awful. No middle arm rest, hits hard at bumps, turns are tough. For the money it's expensive.
Wow
I used to own a 1989 Honda CRX - This thing is IDENTICAL to the 88 - 91 Civic Si's spec-wise (even down to the 109hp engine.) I knew it was gonna be great even before I test drove it. The handling is great for such a seemingly tall car. I traded in a mazda protege5 for this one and I gotta say, you wouldn't be able to tell that the mazda cost over $7000 more retail than the Honda. It is impossible to keep it slow and steady in this car, all you want to do is just red-line every gear from stoplight to stoplight - yes, it's THAT fun. I look forward to the next 150000 or so miles I plan on putting into it.
