The FIT saved my life! REALLY!!

I had a 2017 FIT. I was in a VERY bad accident; a front end/broadside collision by a much larger truck. The FIT Went airborne, knocked down a couple of utility poles and eventually came to a stop. I walked away with only bumps and bruises; no serious injuries. I bought another FIT!!! I am so grateful to this car maker for saving my life. Really!! In another car, I would be dead. I bought it for its high safety rating, but never imagined I would have a serious accident.

It is a great car for a small person like me. I am very comfortable in it and enjoy driving it. It makes me feel young again. We all need a pick me up and the car gives it to me. Don't hesitate to try it out and see if you fit like I did. Have had my Fit a year. Still love my car, enjoy driving it. It has so much get up and go. Two years now. Never get tired of driving my Fit. One of the best decisions I have made. I have had my car over 2 years. Still love my car and enjoy driving it. Wouldn’t want any other car. Five years now and the car I finally mine. Will never trade it in. Love it as much now as the first day I bought it. It has been 7 years since I bought my Fit. Love this car. Will never trade it in. Honda made a big mistake by discontinuing making Fits.

Don't buy a Nissan Versa! Buy a Honda fit!

My partner and I needed a car fast. I had just gotten a job at the start of the pandemic and we only had one car. I didn't do any research because I trust Honda. it only had 45,000 Miles on it and it had 4 previous owners from Nevada. and I bought it anyway Because the car has a clean car fax. and I have not had any issues with this vehicle to this day. Some people don't want to buy Hondas because of the price and "Quality" when in fact the Honda fit is the best in its class. You may be saving $2000 buying a Nissan versa, but you are sacrificing comfort, reliability, power and utility. And the Honda fit comes in a great selection of trim levels to suit your needs and price. and if you wanna save a couple bucks, do what I did and buy a used one! Power This car makes 130 HP with a CVT (continuous variable transmission) witch means basically... it doesn't shift. so when you push on the peddle it feels like a rubber band. but the CVT allows the this car to get maximum fuel economy at low RPMs, and gives you more power at a higher RPM. so basically its your classic Honda. The flappy paddles make it fun to, I love using them when I get on the freeway or have to over take someone, and the Honda fit gives you just enough power to do all of that. I find myself easily going 80 zipping through traffic in Los Angles. We are averaging 25 MPG because of that but considering my Toyota highlander gets 15-19 MPG its really not bad. $30 and your good to go! half a take $12-$15. I owned a 98 Honda Civic and the Fit makes 2 more HP then that one did so its peppy. Tech I don't care about apple/android car play witch it doesn't have. As long as I can connect my phone, play music, and make hands free calls I'm good. and for an entry level car, it already has way more features then my 02 Toyota highlander limited. Utility They have this thing called Magic seats. the seats fold flat, they fold up, and they recline. as well if you recline the front seats all the way without the head rests and you can lay in the cabin. My highlander does all of this too except for folding up in "tall" mode. you can actually walk through the Honda fit comfortably in tall mode, and its great for dogs! My partner and I bough a refrigerator (tall collage size with a freezer on top) and he said we need the highlander, and I said no it'll "Fit", and it did! its like a little van! I love it! Reliability Its a Honda, you literally don't need a warranty. I do not buy cars that depend on warranties over 2 years or 30,000 miles. that kind of car is actually telling you THEY HAVE PROBLEMS. Nissans are owned by a French compony, so they are not built well and their CVT are the worst. Honda has made a great CVT that doesn't break. Do keep in mind CVT transmissions can over heat. I would look up how long they need to cool down before you can travel again. and I get my oil change every 5,000 miles even though Hondas tell you when you should get serviced. and that is really cool! Compared to all the cars in its class, and the versatility in price and trim levels. This vehicle is so worth it! 5/5 for me!

You should know its a great car. Well thought of inside and outside..The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is center arm rest needs to be higher.
