Overall good car

The ride's a little bumpy, the steering loose, and the low beams terrible for the boonies where you have to watch for deer, but the other qualities still make it a decent car. I love the magic seats!

An absolute joy to drive!

An amazing compromise between comfort and fun. After the pandemic I went from a 2015 Yaris (zippy, responsive, and great with gas, but a real slouch on the freeway) to a 2005 Lexus ES330 (powerful and luxurious, but a total gas hog and not fun to drive). I realized how much I missed having a hatchback for its utility, the low gas costs of a light car, and my driving style really requires something more connected to the road than a Lexus could provide. The 3rd gen Fit is my perfect compromise. Literally fits anywhere I park it, and has a TON of space inside. I love its nimble handling and even enjoy how the sporty suspension gives me lots of road feedback (I couldn't feel anything in the Lexus, which totally took me out of the commute and made it boring as heck!). I even actually enjoy the seats, which are a common gripe for most 2015/16 fit owners... they just give that more "forward" seated support that '05 Lexus lacks, which is a must for long drives. Road noise doesn't bother me because the sound system is great, and the engine purrs like a kitten once you're between 2000/3000 rpms. Sport mode gets me up those hilly routes like a champ! I find myself passing others on the freeway easily. And of course, gas mileage is incredible. I don't have to worry about filling my tank until it's been about 1.5 weeks, and even then I'm not dumping nearly as much money into a full tank when it's time. The fit is such a happy city car. Great gas mileage makes frequent little trips a breeze. The storage is another thing that won me over to the fit fam for life. Even little things like the driver side dash cupholder makes me so happy. It also has a center arm console (something the Yaris still lacks to this day), and while it's not great for resting your arm on, you can still keep all your small necessities close at hand. Best of all is the insane cargo space. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize it to the maximum capacity yet, but a Costco run will not even make a dent in how much the magic seats can handle. You literally can fit so much freaking spaghetti in this baby. In short, the fit is great for those who don't need something super fast or fancy or premium. It's a fun and youthful drive, but safe and utilitarian. A perfect in-between!

This car is dangerous. There is huge blind spot when going around curves to the left, the wind noise when on the freeway is so bad you think a window is open, the only safety feature is a backup camera, and you have to watch your face when opening the driver's side door watch your head when closing the trunk. It does drive well at high speeds on the freeway.

crappy sound

I leased a honda 2016 fit last month. The storage capability is great. However, my biggest complaint is the manufacturer's sound system. Granted, this is the lower-end version, but it just plainly sounds horrible!! From the ancient knob-based search for radio stations to the just plain horrible bad-transistor radio speakers, it makes me want to shove needles in my ears to stop the aural pain! No matter if I play my cds, or use my ipod or cell phone through the aux jack, it makes great-sounding recordings sound awful! I can't take it anymore! I'm going to have that crappy sound system (and I'm being kind calling it that) removed and go to a Big Box store and get a decent one put in. I'll put the crappy one in a box and have it re-installed when it has to be returned.

Nearly impossible to clean pet hairs from carpet fibers...and, because black was the only interior color option available, they are even more noticeable.

I purchased this car due to positive articles on the web. I took it out on the highway and was pleasantly surprised by the performance and pep. I purchased the car as a commuter vehicle but it turned to be a very fun car and I am quite happy with my purchase.

Could not have bought a better vehicle for the price! All reviews had this Fit rated high on satisfaction. Couldn’t agree more! Low maintenance and great on gas. Only issue I didn’t like was having to replace my door speakers because water got to them around year 4. Overall, best bang for the buck and it’s still running strong on year #6! Just passed 120,000 miles.

Love it, love it, love it. Very affordable, gas usage is minimum Only complain I have is just the painting, very bad quality paint, but rather than that would recommend if you want to save tons of dollars in gasoline

I've owned many cars old and new and had windshields cracked with pebbles from road but this car just started cracking on driver's side while parked on a snowy, freezing day also front tires side walls bubbled in several places after 30000 miles. I've had Toyota's Prius C windshield replaced OE cheaper at dealer but the one I bought Honda does not offer it. I guess never buying brand again.
