Great reliable basic honda

Bought a 2010 in 2019 from a family members who was going to trade it in for a low trade value of $3000 with 80k. She was happy to sell it to me for that as long as I kept her “pumpkin” running. The ac compressor was aftermarket from 60k not sure why it was replaced from oem but aftermarket bearing squealed so I replaced for the second time. I can go all the recharging of ac system so that didn’t cost too much. All other maintenance has been done by me and is very cheap to do. It’s a basic vtec Honda motor which has no known issues like direct injection motors and the carbon buildup which requires walnut blasting as extra maintenance. Great little 1.5 vtec. Auto trans is easier to service that doing the oil. Very reliable. Very basic feel but gives you confidence in long term reliability. Tpms and airbag light on but not worth the $$$ to fix in my opinion. At 6’3 long trips can be uncomfortable but I try to remember it’s more than 1/2 the $ in gas vs my tundra. Great little in town commuter and love taking it on road trips. Averaging 35 mpg strictly highway trips and low 30’s daily driving it. At 3.50 gallon now I spend maybe $60 a month in gas for it. That nothing these days. The drivetrain is what has given Honda the name and reputation for reliability. In 2015 they went to direct injections and with that comes extra maitenance and issues. I’ve seen these with 300k+. Mine for sure will be taken out earlier than that due to rust I can tell. It’s not bad now but I avenge 7k miles per year and only have 108k now. I know a good thing and these types of cars are far and few these days with all the electronics and turbos systems in cars today finding a cheap reliable car is hard. I will keep this car till I can’t no more. It is a little tank! Since the gas tank is under the front seats all the weight is pretty much forward in the car so winter spin outs are hard. Traction is good with decent tires. The car wants to pull you through and the rear end never wants to spin you around. There’s no weight to the rear. Great space for hauling. It’s boring yes but once you become wise about cars and the money you can waste on fancy options you learn to appreciate the fit for its purpose. Cheap reliable transportation.

I was a little disappointed in my fit. It got me places just fine. Once I hit 150k it kinda went a little down hill. Ignition went first, then an axle broke. Closer to 180k the transmission went. I was hoping for the long haul of at least 200-250k but maybe that’s just wishful thinking. Other than that I have always loved driving it, love the wide range windows.

Best car ever!!

I’ve had this car for 10 years (bought at 6k miles, now at 200k) and the only expensive thing I’ve had to pay for on it is routine maintenance. It’s comfortable, extremely roomy, safe and works well in every weather condition. I’ve driven it on several cross country road trips through the mountains, rain, cold, heat and fog and it has kept me safe and drives perfectly through all of it. I packed it to the gils while moving huge furniture and all my belongings and have been surprised every time at how much it can haul. The size is perfect for parking in small spaces and big cities with limited available parking. This car always fits in those last tiny spots available! My husband jokes at how cocky I am about wedging into tight parallel parking spots in my Honda. Being a massage therapist, I can also pack my massage table, chair and traveling office supplies with me with ease. My 6’3 kid and husband are also comfortable riding as passengers bc of the leg room up front, not so much the back seat. Last but not least, the way the passengers seat area is designed is perfect for my dog to hang his head out the window easily and see everything he wants to.

Best buy in this price range

This is my 2nd Fit, loved them both - I've noticed a considerable improvement in mileage over my 2008 Fit. After 1600 miles I'm averaging 32 mpg in mixed driving and the mpg is still increasing. I attribute part of this to paying some attention to that annoying but useful mpg bar display in the center driver's console. You WILL get better mileage with a Civic or Corolla sedan, but you won't be able to haul washing machines, large dressers, and find other amazing uses as with the Fit. Great for a single like me with no friends with pick-up trucks or SUVs. It's the best compromise between utility and economy in available US cars today, period.

New Honda Fit Sport 2010

Just bought a Honda Fit Sport 2010 after months of research. I love my new car, great price, and financing. It is super fun to zip around town in and looks so sporty. Gas mileage on the way home from the purchase was over 35 miles per gallon. I commute a total of 50 miles a day and usually have over 1/4 tank left over at the end of the week. My only complaint is that I have nowhere to rest my elbow while driving. The door arm rest is too low and the little driver side arm rest is too short. It's awkward to find a comfortable driving position. I had to buy my own Honda floor mats as they refused to throw them in on the deal.
