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!
