I bought my Fit new in 2008. At the time, I loved it. Since then, its various issues have worn down my support for the vehicle. Now I'm considering selling it even though it's still pretty new. The ride quality and road noise are getting to me, and the car lacks certain basic amenities like cruise control (my fault for getting the base model), adjustable intermittent length for the front wipers (that's right, it's every 4 seconds or nothing), and any intermittent setting for the rear wiper (it's either on or off).
Fit for the City

This has been one of the best cars I've ever owned. I drive long distances for work, and put on about 25,000 miles a year, so I spend a lot of time in the car. There is very little about the Fit that I dislike. It has an incredibly flexible/spacious interior, great standard features for an entry level car, and is very fun to drive. It is also extremely reliable with low maintenance costs. My main complaints are road noise (a given considering price point), high RPMs on the highway due to gearing, and the car's tendency to get blown around on the highway. Overall this makes a much better city commuter than road trip vehicle, but for the money it cannot be beat. I highly recommend the Fit.

Had only 32 thousand miles and clutch went. My old hundai accent had 250 th on origional clutch. I do mostly highway driving. Dealership led me to believe it was a defect and would cost me nothing instead it cost well over a thousand dollars. Will never own another. Next car with be Hundai. The most reliable car I have ever owned. The accent had only a need for brakes, and tuneups. Had orgional stareter alternator tailpipe and muffler after 8 years and 250000 miles.
150,000 miles and now some unscheduled repairs

I have loved my 2008 Fit. I am the original owner, but suddenly I seem to be having problems. A few months ago, I had to have an ignition coil replaced. A few days ago, my AC compressor went out. But otherwise, it gets decent gas mileage and drives well - I have a manual. I love the seating configuration/versatility. It does have a road noise, but I've gotten used to it over the years.
