I wrote an earlier review on my Fit EX-L Navi here saying it was incredibly fun to drive but I couldn't connect my Samsung Note 5 to it very well. I bought a more expensive Verizon phone cord connecting it to the car, and VOILA -- Android Auto suddenly works! The Honda sales rep suggested it. These folks are mostly fantastic! So my Google complete texting (not selecting from a list of Honda texts) works like a champ with it now! Much better than even at home, for some reason. That was my big annoyance with the car, so now I'm totally on-board that this is a DYNAMITE car for an older woman, which I am. I LOVE the little paddles that allow me to step up and down the RPM. I've driven some pretty fun cars in the past, but the combination of the technology, the price, the SIZE (which is PURRFECT), the backup camera and right-turn camera... it's so wonderful. I almost want to sleep in my car. I like driving it that much. I may have to think of some long trip to take so I can stay in my car longer... And I'm hoping I can throw my bicycle in the back without taking off my wheel, but I may have to remove the front wheel... small price to pay for this much fun and reliability. -- update after 14 months of driving it: The ability to haul massive amounts of stuff is impressive... significantly better than owning a sedan. I come to this car after owning a luxury Subaru Forester SUV, and I don't feel that I've taken a hit from the larger car. As well, my Forester was a Turbo, and I don't notice the acceleration difference all THAT much. On the other hand, she said grinning, my usual mpg with the FIT is 38 to 40; whereas the Turbo Forester was only 20 mpg, and the FIT takes regular, whereas the Forester required Premium... Huge savings at the gas pump!

Ok, I've now driven my 2018 Honda Fit (with leather and nav) for 18 months. I bought it after owning Subaru Foresters for 18 years or so. I was anxious that I would notice the reduce acceleration and reduced interior comfort and room -- WELL.. what I noticed the MOST is that I got 48 MILES TO THE GALLON on a 3-hour drive through the mountains this week, as opposed to the 18 miles to the gallon I got with my Subarus. EVERY single person reading this review should be actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint! Anyway, apart from mpg, this car is FANTASTIC! More than zippy enough. Handles like a lamborghini. You notice it most on twisty mountain roads, of which there are plenty where I live. It's so nimble and road-hugging that it's difficult no to revert to my younger Ricky-Racer days... to be ticketed for street racing as a 69-yr-old woman is just too humiliating, altho maybe the cop would understand because this is SUCH a Race car in the mountains! Getting in and out is really perfect for me, as I have knee arthritis, so I need the wide open doors. Storage, of course, is insanely good. I REALLY love that I just touch the front door handles or the back hatch handle and the car unlocks, and that I can edit which doors unlock. As I'm getting older, I really need a car that LIGHTS the road ahead of me. This Honda throws mega light in front of me, and the windshield is so clear and large. It's the perfect night driving car... and it's got lots of technology to make it easier for me to steer correctly, stay in the lane, etc. I found that I have fantastic connectivity to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 when I connect by cable through Android Auto --any texting, etc. Plus I can even listen to Reuters News and the New York Times pod casts... so I very much like the updated Android Auto app with my Honda. I haven't had a lick of problems with the car. The only thing that's even remotely difficult is the front/side windshield blind spot created by the very strong roof-to-body structure. I force myself to look around it when turning, so you can cope. I'd rather have the strong crash structure than not. Ok, that's my review after 18 months. I would say this car is the embodiment of the most perfect marriage of carrying capacity, nimbleness, mpg that I've ever driven. I'm SO pleased that I bought it.

This is a very economical car and has lots of gadgets. I got the 2018 Fit EXL with navigation system. The only complaint about the car would be that the seat belt in the front driver's seat does dig into your hips if you are bigger. That being said, I am a plus size woman and I find it very comfortable.

The combination of great mileage and super flexible cargo space for the size of the car, along with Honda's reliability, sold me on this car.
