2009 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

Best option for purchase in 2009 compared to other models at similar price. Occasional acceleration issues, front bumper is too low, scrapes the driveway curb a lot. 2016 model seems to have addressed acceleration as well as height of front for scraping; also back up camera safety feature

04/20/17 - This is a small car so there is a little bit of road noise, it has a 4cyl so acceleration is OK by yourself or with a kid in the car but with 4 full grown adults you better give some extra time for entering the highway. Like all Hondas of this size uphill acceleration with adults in the car will be a bit challenged. But that's all the bad news - I did have 2 recalls (free of charge at any dealer), one was an engine issue (by notice - car never broke down) the other was the tanaka air bags - if you buy this car used make sure the airbags were done. Also - definitely seek out the sport model as the standard does not have cruise. So, driving this car is a bit stiff but a lot of fun, VERY responsive, I have avoided more than one accident (getting cut off by other driver) due to the responsiveness. One of the requirements is the car come with the Dunlop rubber all around - these tires grip like no other I have ever experienced - even in the rain with new treads I can take a 90 degree turn as if it is dry! There are a dozen ways to arrange the seating so you can fit a bunch of different stuff in the car (some of which only when you are solo) for me it's great for a gig with amps and guitars etc... but also hauling wood from home depot or a kayak! Overall the car is great - I just passed 150,000 miles with just standarad maintenance and REGULAR oil changes - there is also a great support group Fit Freak on the internet that has a ton of help users in the forum when you do have a question. As far as gas - It's a 2009 and I am still getting 27.4mpg on the included road computer. Also has a USB input for your smart phone! Highly recommend - but I am a Honda lover - last one had over 250K miles. Lucked out and got it as part the Gas Guzzler return so we saved 4500.00 of MSRP!

As an owner of 15 or so Hondas, from CRV's to S-2000's, I feel qualified to evaluate the Honda Fit. For the price, a bargain. Fun to drive, extremely maneuverable, very good mileage. Comfy seat, excellent outward visibility. Best manualshift quality ever. On the down side...the way the interior is configured affects the suspension design so there is little rear suspension travel which leads to a bumpy, sometimes shocking rear suspension whams. I would not recommend the car, at least the Sport model to anyone who normally travels on dirt or low quality roads. That said I love the car and am amazed at the eagerness of the engine, especially on the freeway.
Design Defects Cost Owners Money!

Love the car - or DID, until the repairs started coming up. Fog Lights have zero protection - BOTH were broken by stones at 15k miles, at $180 EACH to replace. At 22,685 miles, I'm stuck with a $900 A/C condenser replacement, caused by "road debris," not covered under warranty. A little Internet research shows this is a very common problem caused by defective design - huge holes in the lower grille allow large stones or debris to pass through, and the low clearance makes the condenser extremely vulnerable to damage. Honda should issue a recall to deal with the problem. Instead, they deny there is a problem, sticking their customers with the expense. Unfortunate - my last Honda.
The Fit is GO GO GO

I was extremely unhappy with my PT Cruiser (*ahem* PT LOSER) and did a LOT of research on the Fit and comparable vehicles. I test drove the Fit, Yaris, Cube, and Versa. I even drove the Yaris for 2 days while deciding. But after those 2 days, the decision was easy. The Fit by FAR blew the competition away. I have DOUBLED my mpg over the PT. Cargo space is amazing, and have easily fit my two large greyhounds, and last week a 6 foot industrial clothing rack. Have put 1800 miles on it in about a month. Fit also made list of greenest cars. Drove over a nail this week and the TPMS alerted me to low tire pressure. Now I look forward to driving every day, instead of wondering if my car will start!
