Got Snow? Don't Buy Fit!

2015 Honda Fit EX 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 6M)

Yes the electronics console is fussy and not intuitive. It's way too easy to drive off the road while trying to find things on a tetchy touch screen. It's a lightweight on snow and ice. You'll need to buy studded tires for it. It was stuck at the end of a plowed driveway this winter (upstate ny), on a slight grade which had just been done in my 04 Toyota Corolla. It does get ok gasmileage, tho my Corolla still does better on highways (verified by tracking gas and mileage between fill ups, not going by the manufacturer). I think my biggest beef with this car is the ice build up behind the front wheels. It is soooo low to the ground that slush and ice accumulates over the joint of the front doors. When you open the doors, you have to first knock the chunk of snow off the wheel well, then crack chunk of ice over the joint as you open the door. I have had this 2015 fit since July 2014 and the drivers side door joint is already scratched from the ice. I see rust in its future. As for service, don't ever expect to spend less than two hours at the dealerships even just for an oil change. If there is a service recall, they will not release your car AND they will not tell you they are fixing it till the end. I will not buy another honda mostly because of what I've detailed here. Also, good luck with car seats if you have more than one kid. It works but is TIGHT!

2015 Honda Fit LX 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl CVT)

Reasons I chose the Fit over a few similar cars: large cargo with rear seats that fold flat, large hatch to access that cargo space; super gas mileage; great visibility; zippy maneuverability; adequate acceleration on freeway on ramps; brakes are smooth and good. Why I chose the LX over the EX: pinching pennies and didn't think I really cared about the extras on the EX. Why I wish I had the EX: The LX does have a bumpier ride than the EX I test drove, and now that cold weather is here I am really wishing I had heated seats. Might prove to have been worth the $1.5K extra over the years I plan to keep the car. What I don't like so far: When defroster on, the air tends blow into my eyes! Bad for contact lens wearer or those with dry eye problems. So far, on cold mornings the insides of the windows fog up at first before defroster really gets to work. Haven't had the chance to try the A/C to test the cooling capability. Also, the sun reflects off the big and deep dash back onto the windshield, making the glass seem foggy always and reducing visibility. I also need to slide the seat back for ease of getting in and out -- when adjusted to my preferred driving position, it is a snug squeeze in and out (I am 5'5" and 133# -- not chunky by any means). I had to turn the headrest around because I prefer to sit more upright instead of slouched back, and it forced my head forward into a position that became painful after a longer- than- test drive . How the Fit compares to the Versa that I'd had for the past 9 years: Driver's seat cushioning/design and driving position less comfortable for this person than the Versa, Fit has better design of the cargo space (Versa seatback leaves a 4.5" hump when folded down); My Fit did not come with a cargo space cover, not sure if it is offered as does the Versa; Fit has better gas mileage and feels zippier to drive; Versa feels a bit more solid. Fits for similar age and mileage are more expensive.

Don't buy a Honda Fit

2015 Honda Fit EX-L 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl CVT)

I've been driving honda cars since 1977 -- and the Fit is truly disappointing. The locks on the car doors and the hatchback are now jamming, so we can't open them; the rear shocks are failing; and there is a terrible odor coming from the heater that the dealer won't fix. STAY AWAY FROM THE HONDA FIT.

best car i have ever had

2015 Honda Fit EX-L 4dr Hatchback w/Navigation (1.5L 4cyl CVT)

the fit is durable, practical and fun to drive. we have a EX-L that is approaching 100k miles. no repairs have been required at all. just brakes, tires and oil changes. no rust at all in five years of salty sloppy roads in ontario. The cons are it is noisy at speeds over 120kph, and fuel economy is poor above that speed as well. The size of the car is about the same as a early 2000 civic and i love that about it. infotainment system is meh, but until apple car play came out they all did.

Great fuel economy , bumpy ride, air conditioning marginal, noisy car, lot's of room for storage, great safety items (side view camera, backup camera ) seats need more padding, ok for running around town. great head room getting in and out
