i purchased my fit in October 2014, no problems fantastic mileage. If the front seat bottoms tilted I would have given it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟. I travel a lot and get 49-50 mpg on highway for a combined mpg as of 8/29/15 of 38.9 mpg.

My Fit has been great, but any trip over an hour and your back and neck are killing you!! I travel a bit and am now in Physical Therapy (probably not only due to the car, but the concave shape of the seats does NOT help). When I asked the dealership what I could do they said they could not help. Also, my boyfriend is 6'1 and can does NOT fit in the FIT without scrunching his legs! I asked if the tracks could be extended and was told no. Get it together Honda, help us!?!?!

STAY AWAY FROM HONDA FOR NOW

Our whole family switched cars to Honda, Civic for sister-in-law, Fit for me, and CRV for parents-in-law all in 2015. 98,000 miles later our Fit transmission failed and we notice there was a recall for a software fix they tried using for the transmission pressure on a metal pulley not to brake or fail. Our VIN was not on there, but it appears to have the same failure everyone else from that recall described (the car stopped accelerating while I was driving- very dangerous and potentially life-threatening). All of our previous cars, we had toyota scion tc, chevy tahoe, masada miata, etc and they all laster well beyond 150,000 miles before being sold (the transmission never failed). Three years with this Honda Fit 2015 and it is dead with a $5000 repair bill from Honda. The CRV and civic have also been recalled for similar issues along with all sorts of other issues. 3 years for a car to fail and other models by the same maker having multiple recalls and an assortment of issues with the dashboard, electronics, and engine are not what we expected. A friend also recently bought a newer civic and has also experienced strange issues with changing gears on the CRVT (he usually has to with to neutral for the car to start or turn off). STAY AWAY FROM HONDA, ESPECIALLY THE FIT

Perfect Fit Minus the Front Seats = Deal Breaker

I loved nearly everything about the car--minus one nagging problem. It is the same thing that many others have echoed--the extremely uncomfortable front seats. After owning the car for 6 months, I decided to sell it. I never had back troubles in my entire life until owning this car. I didn't even do any lengthy commuting--I used it mostly around town, for short drives, and I found myself dreading driving the car that I had so wanted. I tried 3 different seat cushions/wedges with little relief. What others have said is correct--a test drive is not enough. I now drive a 2017 Toyota Yaris. I decided to go back to the Toyota after having a Pontiac Vibe (a.k.a. Toyota Matrix) for many years. The Yaris is similar to the Fit in many ways, with the wonderful bonus of being comfortable! Too bad Honda ruined an otherwise great little car with those heinous front seats. I'll stick to Toyota from now on.

Honda screwed us, took 4 years to find out

The car only has 33,000 miles on it in 5 years. Come to find out the 2015 Fit was built with faulty fuel injectors. Warranty is no good after 3 years. Repair cost will be $1700. Honda retooled owners. this part in 2016 but will not issue a recall and fix for us 2015 owners. Check the internet. So many angry people. Honda needs to do the right thing and repair this for free. I did not break my car! It was sold with faulty parts. I keep my cars forever. I drove a Suzuki Swift for 15 years and when it was on its last legs, I decided to buy a new car. My daughter had just given notice at a Honda dealership so decided to spread some love to her favorite salesperson and buy a car. My wish list was for cup holders and air conditioning. I test drove the fancy one with the sunroof and liked the feel of the car. Then I bought the cheaper one. I don't want to fix fancy electronics when they go out. I splurged on door trim and a cargo liner. There were 2 initial issues: in the first week, the trim on the hatchback broke in half right at the Honda emblem. Then the rubber strip on the driver's side roof separated and began flopping up when driving at speeds above 35. The dealership replaced the trim, but didn't replace the rubber strip. Four years have passed and it still has low mileage as I've only taken two trips, otherwise drive about 3 miles a day. My new issue is: the driver's seat hurts my back. Short trips are fine, but anything over 45 minutes and I'm re-positioning, trying to make the pain go away. I found a chair cushion that I can tie below the headrest to help even out the concave top of the seat. I'm pretty wide, and I don't fit in the seat very well and it presses on my back. The cushion really helps. I'm surprised that not one reviewer mentioned the driver's blind spot on the left of the front window. The slant front window is set in with an A-column that creates a vision barrier that is so large that a mom pushing a stroller and her two teenage daughters crossing in front of me in a sidewalk were completely hidden . As a driving instructor for a large transit agency, I am used to "rocking and rolling" around vision barriers to look for hidden bodies, but I was surprised at how big it is in the FIT, there's nearly a 6 foot blind spot! Driver's beware of this. I love the 6 speed manual, except as others say, 5th and 6th are very similar. I often think I'm in 6th only to look down and see I'm in 5th. I'm considering trading the car in for one that is taller. As time goes on, I think I'll appreciate the ease of sliding in and out of the seat of a taller vehicle. The FIT sits pretty low to the ground. My 5'10" sister and 6'1" friend struggle with leg room in the passenger seat. No one ever complains about leg room in the rear seat. There is a cut little flip out cup holder on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. I love it, but not so much the cup holders in front of the center console. Also, I plug my phone into the USB when I'm driving, but it barely charges. The front wheel drive worked well on moderate snow and ice, I never needed to use chains after snowstorms. I noticed that the pain scratched very easy when I was scraping off ice in the winter. That was something I never had to deal with before.I do have an issue with the tires wearing out already. I thought they should have lasted longer than 25,000 miles. I'll take another reviewers suggestion and buy a different make and model tire. I really struggle to keep the interior of the front window clean. It is almost impossible for me to reach to the bottom. Many people have mentioned that parking is easy, but I find that the wheelbase is odd and the turning radius is not as sharp as almost every other car I've driven. I also struggle to park next to curbs on the street. The rims are flush with the tire and the tire is flush with the car's body and there is no wiggle room. Once I got too close to the curb and scratched the rim. When I trade it in I'll be looking for a taller car, more entertainment features, stronger air conditioning, no huge blind spot, and less road noise at high speeds.
