We went out looking for a used CR-V, something my son could drive. Well after being disappointed in the used car pricing, I walked past the Fit, and asked how much. Next thing I was driving it around the block, putting it through its paces. Now my wife is driving my Pilot, my son is driving her CR-V, and I am driving the Fit. I am a BIG guy, 350+, and this car is still roomy. Quick to react, and it has more than ample power to go down the highway (at the speed limit). It has none of the bells and whistles of the Pilot, but it is more fun to drive. If you are looking around for a commuter, this is the car for you.
Eleven years in love!

I'm the only owner for my Fit. Since I started driving it in 2008, I've needed only routine maintenance until this year. Last month, my car needed the crankshaft position sensor replaced, but it's also 11 years old, and we've driven just over 190k together. I was driven to write a review when I saw someone else say they had trouble replacing the battery. What?!? I've gone through a few batteries and had no problem replacing them, so not sure where those folks live. I've replaced batteries in Mississippi and Tennessee easily. My Fit has been nothing but dependable thus far!

So Far, So Good

2008 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

I've had this car now for about 3 months and have put close to 3000 miles on it. So far, so good. It is really fun to drive. It drives like a sports car, and handles extremely well. It feels super responsive. Minor complaints: It has developed a slight rattle/squeak in the dash when on a slightly bumpy street. Also, the A/C will sometimes smell bad when first turned on (this goes away after 10 seconds or so) I need to take it to the dealer as I hear this is a common problem with newer car AC systems. Otherwise, I can't think of anything bad about it. I've been recommending it to friends that are looking for a new car.
Best Car We Could Have Bought

2008 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)

We needed a good commuter car that was reasonably priced and good gas mileage. After reading all the reviews I could find, it became apparent the Fit was the way to go. We were sold on it at as soon as we test drove one. In our area it was hard to find the Sport with the manual transmission. We love this car, it is amazing how such a small car can fit 4 large people fairly comfortably. For the price it is the best deal out there.
Disappointingly Lame.

We've had it four, long months. We don't drive for fun, merely to get there. The lame mileage of 27 in town and MAYBE 36 on the highway (minimum of 1,000 miles needed) make this a lousy deal. Unless you drive with an egg under your foot, the car jack-rabbits to 35 miles-per-hour and then slogs along. If you floor it, it does the same thing, only more loudly. Power to pass on the freeway (where else do you need it?) is meager, and non-existent with the air-conditioning on. The electric window switches aren't lighted and are hard to locate in the dark. All doors can only be locked and unlocked from the driver's door. Otherwise you have to key them individually.
