Ours has had flawless reliability
The Fit has been what we expected. We have had absolutely no reliability issues so far. Our blue EX-L was built in July, 2014 and we purchased it in August, 2014. It now has over 13,000 miles on it, and all we've done is change the oil.
I love my Fit!
I've wanted a Fit since they hit the US in 2006. I've been driving Accords for many years, and with this 3rd generation Fit redesign, I finally decided it was time to own my first Fit. I opted for the fully loaded EX-L w/Navi. I've had the car for two weeks now, and I do not regret my purchase one bit. I do not feel like I am in a small subcompact in this car. It handles really well on the highway, and city driving is the most fun! I have gotten above average returns on mileage with a mix of hwy/city. Honda got it right with the Fit in my opinion. If you remember Honda from the 70's-80's, the Fit reminds me of that era. Small, economical and a blast to drive. I love my Fit!

The Modern Penalty Box
We bought our 2015 Honda Fit LX back in Oct. 2014, and finally sold it in February, 2016 after only 5,000 tedious miles. This was our, as a young married couple, very first brand new car. We were excited to get it initially and had planned on keeping it for 10+ years.. Selling it so soon was bittersweet. The Fit makes a good initial showroom impression; lots of space in the back seat and trunk, good value in the LX trim and well-equipped, and high fuel economy numbers. After cross shopping a few other cars, we took a bet on Honda's solid reputation. Problems arose within the first two weeks of ownership as an alternator went out and was defective. The car was towed and fixed under warranty. But more quality issues soon followed; the rear hatch trim snapped off a month later, rattles developed in the hatch and driver's door, the fuel gauge would not be accurate and would take days to register a fill-up, the tailights filled with water, the front bumper began sagging, the clutch pedal would always creak despite several attempts to fix it, and the headliner soon started detaching itself. Most of these were covered under warranty, but the trips were annoyingly frequent and it was becoming difficult to keep with all of the needed repairs. I’m very gentle on all my cars and have several older, well-preserved cars in our garage, and we were not abusive to the Fit. The Fit itself was also not a joy. The engine seemed fine on the test drive on surface streets, but was exceedingly loud and slow on the freeway. Much of this was the fault of the six-speed manual, which had very low, closely-proportioned fifth and sixth gears. They were almost indistinguishable and resulted in the engine buzzing at 3,400rpm at 70mph. All of the gears were too close and required constant shifting. At the least the shifter itself was nice to shift through, and the clutch was buttery smooth. The ride on this harsh with every bump felt and relentless road noise. A long drive was just brutal in this car. At least the handling was superb for the car’s econo-car roots, and this was a fun car on a mountain road. Steering was crisp, and the handling was safe, fast, and responsive. Inside, the back seat is huge, and the magic seat is a neat trick. The cargo area is voluminous and betrays the car’s small footprint. Folding the seats down resulted in almost SUV-like storage capability. You could easily do a house move in a Fit. But it was almost as though Honda’s engineers focused on the back seats, and the fronts were an afterthought. The front seats would not go back far enough, and taller passengers would find their knees against the dash and foot squished up in the tight footwheel. The driving position was equally awkward. Controls were simple and straightforward, and easy to learn. The materials on the dash and interior, especially the seats, felt pretty plush. Fuel economy was amazing, averaging 35mpg in the city, and 46mpg on some highway drives. Amazing! But it wasn’t enough trade-off for the car’s general flimsy feel, poor gearing, sluggishness, tight driving position, and overall terrible quality. Unless you really need a big back seat, there are much better choices out there

6k Miles In...
My wife and I purchased the new Fit in February, 2015. Living in the northeast, the winter was harsh, but the Fit did great. It makes for a great commuting car, it's comfortable (for a reasonable amount of time, see below) and gets great fuel economy. On the highway, it's easy to get in excess of 41 mpg. Driving carefully, I've been able to get upwards of 45+mpg. I don't think I've ever paid more than $33.00 to fill it up, averaging well over 300 miles to a tank of fuel. Another plus that I really enjoy about this car is the way it handles. I also own a BMW 3 Series, which is one of the best handling cars available, (for under 60k) and this little Fit attacks the curves pretty good in comparison. I was quite surprised at first, I expected a lot of body roll, seeing the car is so tall, one would think it rode top heavy...not so the case. The ride is smooth and I have no complaints with road or wind noise. There's only a few gripes I have with the car. One seems to be a common trend in the reviews I've read, and that is the comfort of the seats. They are okay for the commute to work, (35/40 min) but anything over two hours or so, and I start to get rather uncomfortable. Also, the touch screen radio; very cool, but not good if you have OCD about fingerprints on your electronics. It's also a little fussy to use and get used to but that's why there are buttons on the steering wheel. All in all, I love this car. I didn't think I did, and we only got it because my wife wanted it and we needed s second car. Now I'm the only one that drives it, and we are extremely pleased with it thus far.

Honda lost a costumer.
At 36k miles my starter system failed, dealer is charging me 1200$ . The led display disappears when the weather is cold. The noise inside the cabin of this vehicles is too much punishment even for minor road imperfection. This is not the Honda i admired over the years. Going to Toyota or Ford.
