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.

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

2013 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback w/Navigation (1.5L 4cyl 5A)

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.
