Highly overrated

Do not believe the hype. The engine is buzzy and the transmission hunts for the right gear. The ride is extremely bumpy, you feel everything. The seats are uncomfortable, and can't be height adjusted. You would never take this on a trip longer than 25 miles. It has beautiful styling, but that's all. A huge disappointment that I bought into because of all of the raves from the so-called car experts. I'm trading this in on a larger and more comfortable car.
Want a GREAT Car

I could not be more in love with my little Honda Fit. It is a 2009 and I bought it brand new with only 25 actual miles. It is now 2021 and has 252,000 miles and the only work I have done is ac just now. One tune up and regular oil changes. A few batteries and some tires. This car is my best friend. It carries everything and is always ready to go!

I bought this car because I wanted something that could give me a lot of room and get good MPG. I got exactly that in the '09 Fit and not much else. PROS: cargo is great--fold flat (and I mean FLAT) rear seats are awesome, Honda's "magic seat" is very useful, love the hatch in the back--will never go back to a sedan, plenty of cupholders and small cubbies, handling is tight and agile, fun to drive around town with no weight in car. CONS: interior is 100% cheap, hard plastic with exception of leather wrapped steering wheel, seats are hard and unforgiving, acceleration is very bad--struggles to pass other cars or go up hills especially if there are passengers in the car, torque isn't great, car does not sustain acceleration at high speeds, A/C struggles mightily in extreme dry heat/sunlight or humidity--have been told the compressor is too small and the hood and cabin are too large to properly cool the vehicle. Struggles in adverse weather due to ~5 inches of ground clearance, (adverse weather) like....rain or...snow or...wind...it is a car that simply isn't designed well enough to drive and thrive in many areas of the country. Would I recommend this car? Yes, depending on where you live and what you need it for. Would I buy this car again? No. My priorities have changed and the car no longer fits my needs...and I miss being able to give a car gas without the engine nearly falling out on the road...

I've had my Fit for about 4-5 months now and love it. I bought it with about 30k miles on it and have put about 10k on it since. I love the roominess of the fit compared to other compact cars, in both the front and back seats. I love the hatchback and the way the rear seats can fold both down or up. I drive mostly highway miles and have been averaging 38+ mpg. My car had a remote car starter installed which has also worked great.
Junk!

Had it in the shop six time already for problems with transmission, squeaks, and rattles. Nav wont work when it rains. Water leaks. Terrible build quality.
