Honda Fits the Bill!

Get the EX for all the options that come with it. The only caveat is the lack of an aux input Jack on this model.

Sparky Fit

Major electrical issues. Engine just stops, at 75 or 25, it doesn't make a difference. Bluetooth doesn't work. Radio changes stations by itself, modes change by itself. The dealer says that there is nothing wrong with it, but when I took it to an independent garage, they showed 17 error codes when hooked up to the diagnostic device. What a piece of junk

exceptional car ... in every way

We bought our yellow 2016 Honda Fit EX in April 2018. It had 13,845 km. 2 1/2 years / 32,000 km later ... this has been an exceptional car ... in every way: fuel economy, performance, looks (it's yellow!), and especially it's versatile interior. We have carried 4 people, we've carried two kayaks on the roof, we've gone camping with three adults and three bikes on the roof, and we've done 4000 km camping trips with two people for two weeks with all our tenting/hiking/biking gear and two full suspension mountain bikes **inside** to maintain aerodynamics on the roof. (The secret is to fully remove the two rear seats as per a YouTube hack.) Who needs an SUV?

Seats do not "Fit" - they cause back pain!

AT, 01/17/2017
2016 Honda Fit LX 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl CVT)

Bad seats - too soft, flat backs without any lumbar support. The seats are like sitting on a memory foam marshmallow without support. The side bolsters are squishy and do not provide support. Be very, very certain that your back is comfortable in the seats of this car before you buy or lease! I would suggest a 30-60 minute test drive to be certain. I am not tall - I am only 5’4” and 130 pounds, but these seats are not capable of providing support to my small body. I took three test drives of the 2016 Honda Fit. Each was the typical 10-15 minute test drive. I thought I liked the car - it seemed comfortable and like a peppy little fuel efficient car. Except that it is noisy - but I thought I could live with the noise. One test drive was one day, the other two test drives were about a month later on the day I leased the car. Then the worst thing possible happened. The next day after signing my lease papers my back started to hurt. The following day it hurt even more. I only have a 20-minute driving commute, but that is enough for the soft, squishy Honda Fit seats to do their damage. I tried various aftermarket lumbar cushions without success. They either did not work or pushed me too far forward over the edge of the seat. So I could not use any of them. Honda’s customer service department was unwilling to help - since it is not something under warranty. It is just a design defect. An acceptable design flaw. One that your back will suffer with as long as you own the car! My only solution - my wonderful wife is able to drive the car without back pain. So we have swapped cars, and now we are both unhappy with that situation but at least neither of us has back pain. This is our fourth and final Honda. When this lease ends, no more Hondas for us! Just say “NO” to Honda. Friends don’t let friends drive a Honda Fit.

Not a very good riding car, is noisy, doesn't take bumps well. After 6 years of ownership, I wouldn't buy another one.
