I bought this car two summers ago and it has been a great car! I was used to driving my 3000GT but I needed something more reliable and fuel efficient. After 2 months of research, I decided to go with the Honda Fit over the Toyota Yaris and Dodge Caliber and have been happy ever since! This car has great performance, and GREAT gas mileage on the highway(usually between 34-38 going 75). The gas mileage in town has been a bit of a disappointment however, I usually only get in the low 20's. This car has worked extremely well going through the snow in North Dakota winters. I was a bit skeptical that I would like this car when I bought it, but I am so happy I decided on the Honda Fit.
Don't do it!! Still feel the same in 2018!

The bumper and pan underneath the car often catch on curbs and sloped driveways. This causes the panels on either side to loosen. The paint on the outsidefront scratches very easily. The headlights are difficult to change. The integrity of the front inside is poor. Particularly the driver's side shade. The flooring catches people's feet and has come loose. I would never but this car again.

We bought the Fit due to the great gas mileage and the design of the folding back sit. It works great! It is a very versatile car. The back holds a lot more than it appears to be able to hold. The gas mileage is between 27 with mostly city driving to 41 with all highway driving. It has a good average of 30 to 32 MPG combo. The only thing I wish it would redesign is that the gas tank hold more than 10.8 gal. It seems to go through gas faster that way. A 12 to 13 would be great. I average about 280 to 400 miles per fill up. This car is a great buy. Plus another added feature is it shows percent of oil life so it takes the guess work out of when to change the oil. AC works great too.
Good Car Overall

This is our second car. We purchased it last week. Here are initial thoughts. As a second car intended for local driving, or as a city car, it is a good choice. The car handles well in turns and grips the road. The driver visibility is excellent, and the stylish interior appears to be of good quality (time will tell). We live in Pennsylvania with some steep slopes; the automatic transmission shifts gears going up hills. On occasion, the engine winds. Since it is a brand new car, I'm tentative about putting too much stress on the engine. The gas mileage is very good but not exceptional. One might expect more from such a light weight car.
Hurts every day to drive.

For those of average height and long legs, with the base model, since the fit doesn't have cruise control, you'll likely injure your ankle. The gas/brake pedals are extremely stiff so you need to constantly have your foot at an odd angle and tensed constantly (which makes for a jerky ride, especially at slower speeds). I was fine for the first 3 years of owning the car, but after a bumper to bumper road trip my ankle gave way and it's been hell to drive ever since. You constantly need to apply pressure at an obtuse angle when driving, and the seats can't be adjusted for height, so I have to use both feet to brake and switch off with my left foot to drive most of the time. Luckily, if you drive less than 25 miles a day you can kind of get away with it, but I'm seriously considering selling the car if it can't be fixed. What's weird is that my dealership hadn't heard of the issue before, so I'm not sure they can even fix it.
