2013 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)

Acceleration isn't all that great, but that's not what the Fit is about. It tends to be a bit noisy even with the manual transmission, but keeping down the RPM's and the highway speeds helps. Keep the wheels and tires rotated and balanced, and the car will have a very stable feel at highway speeds. Seats are good. Visibility is good. Heater and A/C work well, although the A/C needed repair at 68000 miles. The cargo space is very good for such a small car. Reliability and MPG are very good. Overall MPG for 2021 thus far has been 36.8. The car has needed only scheduled maintenance so far, except for the A/C repair. Honda has been very good about recall notices for the airbags. There have been three on this car, and the dealer installed replacements in about an hour each time. On the third recall, relating to the car's drive train, the dealer only did an inspection and did not recommend any recall-related repairs. For 2021, I drove only about 8300 miles, in part because of the pandemic. But the car got 36.7 MPG for all driving, and the car needed only scheduled maintenance. Further, according to the Edmunds Web site, the value of the car went up, a completely unexpected development. Since August 2022, I have put considerably fewer miles on the car, so the MPG has dropped to about 33-34, which is still a respectable level. One of the rear shock absorbers developed a leak and had to be replaced at about 97000 miles. Again, beyond that, the car has needed only scheduled maintenance, even though it's now approaching 101,000 miles. As of July 2024, the car has reached 104,000 miles and continues to run reliably. Overall MPG for 2024 is 33.4. I'm driving fewer miles than in previous years, and the recent high temps have meant a certain amount of idling with the air conditioning running, so the MPG is still respectable.

Best car on the planet for the money!....

I've only had one issue with this car (besides the cheapo stock tires, which are noisy, and needing replacement @20,000 miles). That ONE ISSUE is, the car will decide to UNLOCK itself HOURS after I have locked it. Probably the idiot EPROM in the key....WHY does EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE COMPUTERIZED NOW? I will test and see if manually locking the car with the key makes any dif. And the accelerating is poor, but you already knew that. Phenomenal in city mileage-an honest 36-37mpg around town. The Taketa airbag was replaced efficiently by the dealer....let us HOPE they can do the same with the locking issue!

Fun to drive, yet economical! Does well on long road trips, and in the city. I was amazed the 1st time I put a 6 foot ladder inside of it with the hatch closed!

I did a lot of research before buying a Honda certified Fit. It gets very good safety ratings and is reliable. I like the basic control panel - less to worry about. My only disappointment is that it has a big blind spot.

It's not a particularly quiet car, but rides and handles well on reasonable - or better - road surfaces. (Keep the tires & wheels regularly balanced and rotated.) For a driver with a light foot on the gas pedal, MPG is great. Just completed a 280-mile road trip and got 41 MPG. Overall MPG for all driving in 2018 was 37.0, and MPG for 2019 should be around 36.6. Has great cargo space for its small size. Acceleration is not too good, but that's not why one should own one of these cars. Reliability has been excellent; the one exception was in June 2019 when the A/C system developed a small leak. Seats are good. The original, factory-installed Dunlop tires lasted 63000 miles and have been replaced with Yokohama tires. Overall MPG as of June 2022 is 37.2, for all driving. As of June 2023, overall MPG is down to about 33, but that's because I'm not driving nearly as much as I once did. Recently, I replaced the rear shock absorbers at 97,000 miles, but the car is otherwise doing well. The car has now reached 100,000 miles and continues to run well. i traded it in with 107,000 miles for a new Lexus in November. The new car will be good - it should be for the price! - but I'll miss having the 5-speed manual transmission.

Great economy car. One of our best decisions.

The 2013 Honda Fit was intended as a solid no frills car. Its price at that time was about $15K out the door. That's right ! ! ! It was also intended as a light weight tow vehicle for our RV. For that, the manual transmission was perfect. Fuel economy (mpg) has always hovered in the high 30's, even low 40's on occasional trips. Repairs in the 9 years we have owned the car are essentially NON EXISTENT. It has been noisier and less comfortable than other cars we have owned, or could have selected. But that is consistent with no frills, low cost transportation. If it hadn't gone out of production, I would buy again in a heartbeat !

Wagon space with good mileage

This is a good car for anyone wanting a wagon-type car with better-than-wagon mpg. This is my commute car, so it does a good job of handling both freeway and city streets quite well. I also did test drives on the Kia Rio5, the Kia Soul, the Ford Fiesta, the Hyundai Accent, and the Nissan Cube, but the Honda Fit was a better overall experience.
Honda Fit Fits the Bill for Cargo Space and MPG

We had a Civic Hybrid, but needed a car with more cargo space. The prospect of giving up the fuel efficiency of the hybrid was painful, but the sacrifice was ultimately marginal and we got the cargo space we needed in our 2013 Honda Fit LX. Before we even started shopping, we asked Fit owners--both strangers and friends!--what they thought of their cars and it was unanimous: people loved their Honda Fits regardless of the specific year or model. And now, we are those people. We needed the cargo space to haul music equipment (think bulky and heavy) and the tiny Fit handles it all--a large Marshall cabinet, tubed head, three guitars, and an endless stream of small items along with a passenger. And, even though we initially weren't sold on the Fit's stubby appearance, it has been invaluable in finding street parking in the city. We test drove a 2016 model with 43K miles on it, but our older model had a smoother ride and, it turns out, the actual MPG on our 2013 with our driving is close enough to our hybrid's (39 MPG) that I can let go of my guilt for the most part. The only downside I can think of is that our model doesn't include anything fancy--there's only one dome light and there's no bluetooth--but it has everything we need.
