Used 2007 Honda Fit Consumer Reviews
Best Car in 50 years!
I put 12,000 miles on my Fit the first 2 months driving between Dallas and Portland and points in between. It was a great car on the open road and certainly in the tight places in the city. It is a perfect car with plenty of inside space. I can carry a washing machine home from the store if I want. I just wish it would get over 40 MGP on the road.
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.

It's great, but....
I love my Honda Fit. I bought it knowing that the ride was a little bit bumpy. I bought the basic rather than the sport, perhaps the 15 inch wheels would have been better. I started getting great gas mileage but now it dropped considerably. However, that may be a result of having to run the AC on high much of the time. After owning a gas guzzling SUV, it is nice not to have to be running to the gas station all the time. My family of 5 fits fine and I can accept the bumpy ride
Fit
I bought my Fit new in May 2006. It now has over 81,000 miles on it and I have never had to take it to the repair shop for anything other than brakes. Even at 81K miles, I am getting around 35 mpg. The only complaint I have with it is that it wears tires very quickly. I have an alignment done at every oil change, and it still doesn't help. The dealer says there is no known problem with tire wear on the Fit.
Just breaking it in
Put the first thousand miles on it in just a few weeks. Already seeing gas mileage improvement as it breaks in (31 mpg to start, ~35 now combined). Also seeing a little more acceleration as well. Extremely well put together interior, stereo with amazing sound, tons of features. It also handles flawlessly that makes you forget you are in a subcompact and rivals sports cars I have driven before. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great mpg and a fun car to drive.
