It's a great Fit

We searched various brands and many styles of small cars. We were looking for something roomy inside yet small and very fuel efficient. The Honda Sports Fit fills and exceeds all our expectations. We have used three tanks of gas so far, 1st tank 28.9 mpg, 2nd tank 30.01 mpg, and 3rd tank 30.08 mpg in town, stop and go driving. The Fit is fun to drive. It corners great. The acceleration is faster than I expected from a small car. A perfect fit for my 6'2" size. We have received many compliments on the Fit from friends and strangers. I feel it is impossible to give too much praise for the Sport Fit. It is truly a perfect Fit for our needs.

Great little car, when I first saw it I thought it was ugly. It grows on you, I really enjoy driving it, holds the road nicely and has averaged 37 to 40 mpg.

Fits me perfectly

Just bought my Vivid Blue Fit Sport 5 speed last night. I was comparing a Scion xD with the Fit Sport. I was ready to buy the Scion because dealer mark-up is usually higher on Hondas, whereas a Scion has a "pure-price" pricing policy. I got my Fit for MSRP, which is pretty good. The Fit felt more solid and has more configuration options for interior space. I like the short throw shifter action and handling. I've always preferred Hondas over Toyotas and I'm not disappointed. Great car, good m.p.g. overall. Upgraded from a 1983 Mercedes turbodiesel wagon. More m.p.g. but less interior space and thinner sheet metal, but overall very pleased.

We are a family of four who have had our Fit for 2.5 years. People are continually surprised that my husband, at 6'7", can even get into such a small- looking car. He even fits in the back seats, which seems to be true for most Hondas, but not other makes. The Fit also has ample headroom. It is fun to drive, easy to park ANYWHERE, gets great gas mileage, and has a highly versatile interior. We also love the 6 speaker sound system.

Nothing about this car lives up to the hype. It shakes over 60mph, the clutch is horrible, and everything in the interior rattles while I drive. It feels cheap and is incredibly uncomfortable to drive. I've owned $500 cars that were far better. I very much regret buying this car.
