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.

Unfit Fit. Done with Honda brand.

HVAC issues since I bought it in mid-June 2014. Dealer couldn't fix it after 3 attempts and continued musty, moldy emissions cause severe health symptoms, so I have filed a Lemon Law claim through Honda's arbitrator. Front seats are the worst I've had in a vehicle. Sit in them for at least 40-45 minutes to confirm they work for you. My test drives were too short to make this apparent. The pain kind of sneaks up on you. The positives (which are many) don't outweigh the horrible mold allergy symptoms I've had. American Honda has been unresponsive and the dealer has been barely supportive.

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.

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!?!?!
