Safety Recall of "early-2015" Honda Fit's announced August 21, 2014
The following hyperlink is to a Edmunds dot com article herein about the announcement on August 21, 2014 of a Safety Recall of "early-2015" Honda Fit's. http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2015-honda-fit-modified-to-improve-crash-protection-win-safety-award.html In the near-term I suggest verifying the Vin # for effectivity and incorporation, if applicable of this Safety Recall prior to purchase. If you, like us, already own an early-2015 Honda Fit be on the lookout for official communication via hard-copy letter in September 2014. My full review of earlier impressions of the 2015 Honda Fit is posted elsewhere on this Edmunds dot com column. Really liked it prior to this alert.

Update on prior review.
After 5,000 miles and three months, i get 41.5mpg using tripmeter/fill up method whereas the car reports 44.4mpg. However, a few problems have cropped up. First, it came with fleas, which I got rid of with a flea bomb and vacuuming daily for a week. Three weeks in, the HVAC started emitting smells for the first few minutes of running. It started as a mulch smell. It now smells like mildew, wet dirty gym socks or rotting meat. I took care of it once with A/C disinfectant and taken it to the dealer twice since it started. I hope it is gone after this second service, but if it comes back again, I'm pushing for a refund. The cabin air filter installed at the plant was incorrect.
Test drive is not enough
After seeing all the glowing specs on this car, I did TWO twenty min test drives. It seemed comfortable enough for a subcompact and fun to drive.. Only 100 miles on it and it is wicked on my old back. This feature seems to be buried in the reviews like edmonds and Kelly Blue book. I have a 5 hour drive up coming, and I am really really fearful. Now what? Can my budget really take trading in a car that's only 2 weeks old. No more Honda's for me I think. Review update a year later. The back breaking driver seat issue was resolved. An upholstery shop for a very small amount was able to insert firm foam in the lumbar area. Now, there is nothing that I don't like about this car. It is very fuel efficient, the seat configurations are like a Swiss army knife, and it is peppy. I got the yellow color, and I'm tentative of how the paint job will hold up over time. Of course it is still a small inexpensive car.

Fun car, but buyer beware
I have owned my new Fit for about 6 months. Overall I love the car. It's fun to drive, gets great gas mileage, is easy to park in tight places, and looks great. However, I've been having a major problem with paint chipping. I consider my daily driving to be less than average in pretty average conditions, and yet my car has sustained considerable paint damage. My 10+ yr. old Toyota never had this problem, and I think it reflects poor paint quality on the part of Honda. Dealership and Honda Customer Service don't consider this a "warrantable" problem, so I guess this is supposed to be acceptable for a brand new car.
