That it is good on gaz. Even though small spacious enough
It is a small car, smallest I've had but it is practical leaving in NYC for parking. Good on gaz
accountCircle Julianne H
Overall, I love the Honda fit vehicle model.
I love the amount of space my vehicle has, even with its small size. I love that it is a hatchback. It is also really great on gas mileage. It is very comfortable to drive long distances. The radio and stereo quality is great. I like the colors it comes in. I just love the overall look of the vehicle.
accountCircle Diana P
It has a lot of power for a hybrid and please take time to know its capabilities
I like the smooth ride and power it has. I do not like the fact it has no DVD player.
accountCircle Stephanie V
It has great gas mileage and has a ton of nice safety features.
I like the size. I like all of the safety features like lane assist and automatic braking. I like that it includes apple CarPlay and has a ton of USB ports. I like how the seats fold for more trunk space.
accountCircle Walter H
Economical transportation.
Like - the technology, versatility of the seating and style. Siri's radio, and apple play. Dislike -slow pickup, road noise.
accountCircle Tatiana B
Great car, tons of room, great on gas.
This is the best car I have ever owned. While it is not the best car for the snow, it drives so smoothly. I love how good it is on gas and the large touchscreen is great for navigation. It is a subcompact car but there is more room than it seems. And the seat fold up and down in the back which is an amazing feature.
accountCircle Anna Marie V
A wise choice. This car is "fit" in every meaning of the word. Feel safe & happy.
For a Brooklynite, one of the greatest of features of the fit is that it is a compact. That means it can fit into smaller parking spaces than other cars - a boon when there are so few parking spaces. The car is also "fit" in that it rides like a dream, has many safety features (rear camera, blind-spot mirror, brake warning) and uses less gas than the average car. Not to forget is that it is a good-looking car with a nicely designed interior designed for a driver's comfort and ease of operation.
accountCircle Candace M
Love the safety features of my car
Super easy to see out the windows. There are extra small windows in the front 'blind spot' area. Backup camera is fantastic and love the lane assist feature. It drives nicely. Handles smoothly. Seats are comfortable even after a long drive. Reliable and easy to drive.

Great gas mileage and fun to drive. We get up to 40 mpg on the road
We love our fit. The gas mileage is great. We get between 36 mpg and 40 mpg. For a small car it is pretty roomy. Our only dislike is it could have more interior room.
accountCircle Tara H
Leather and radio are great, gas mileage not so much
Does not get great gas mileage and is not great in the snow. I hate sitting so low. I have to fill the gas tank sometimes twice a week and I drive mostly freeway. It does not take to potholes well but the tires are very expensive. There's fancy stuff in it but the dials seem old

Honda fit you'll only fit if your under 6 foot 4.
Car is very dependable. It is great on gas my only complaint is that is not good for taller drivers. The front passenger seat is also very small but back seats are very spacious. Unit does make a terrible noise on cold start but this happens with all of them so do not be alarmed.
accountCircle Jessica W
The fit sure does fit a lot of stuff inside such a small space.
This car when the seats are all put down can hold a ton of stuff. My husband and I used it to move folding chairs for our wedding and were able to get 63 in that car alone. We love the camera for changing lanes. Wish it did ride a bit smoother, but it gets great gas mileage.
accountCircle Wai N
All the seats in my car can be folded.
It might be a little too small for my taste. The seats are tight which leads to uncomfortably for long trips and a lot of passenger in the car. Besides that the trunk is small I cannot buy a lot of groceries in one trip. Also it has no horse performance.
accountCircle Sean N
It is affordable, $18, 000 new.
This car has good mpg (~35), turns corners fast, and good braking power. Lots of room, but it would be nice if there was something covering the trunk.
accountCircle Timothy S
The car gives very good service, fit,balanced and definitely comfortable.
I have been using the Honda brand fit 2018 model car for two years now. The car is of very good quality. There is very little work to be done in the car. Problems occur very rarely. Honda brand fit model car gives very good service. The car is fit and balanced. The car is definitely comfortable driving the car.
accountCircle Ally J
Overall great car, has good room for children if you have them as well.
The inside is really nice and comfortable, just do not really like how big the rear view mirror is. It seems to take up a lot of my front window. I have brought kids in my car with car seats which the car seats fit nice and strap in nice. It has been very reliable for me and I haven't had any problems so far. I bought it used and it has lasted me a long time. Only issue I have had is the tires not staying fully pressurized in the winter, but I think that is normal for a lot of cars in the winter.

The Honda sensing. Very happy with my choice for Honda fit 2018.
I needed a relatively inexpensive replacement for a 13 year old Toyota matrix with 110k miles. I also missed driving a stick. I mainly drive to & from work, so mileage was also a factor. Possibly my favorite part is that I am 6-foot-3 & have headroom to spare in this tiny car. I honestly do not have a single negative thing to say about the fit. It matched everything I was looking for. Above & beyond the accent, versa, focus, or corolla - all of which I also test drove.
accountCircle Elenita L on April 10, 2021
Reliable and dependable car.
My Honda fit is very reliable, at first I was worried because it is a small car but we were able to travel to Florida, Las Vegas and la using our Honda fit without any problem. The downside for having a small vehicle is that I live in the city where there is sometimes windy season, I am sometimes scared to use this car. This is my work-errand-home vehicle.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Michael A.

I like the Economy feature that allows you to switch between saving fuel and engine power. I like the front display panel that integrates quite well with my iPhone. I also like the rear camera that helps when I am backing up.

likeFilled Suleme A.

It is small outside, but inside is the perfect amount of space for one person a couple or family of 3. The different modes this can be changed to help with moving as well. The car is fast and runs smoothly at high speeds.

likeFilled Samuel M.

Basic, not over-laden features; good gas mileage; impressive interior space for packing. I was once able to fit an entire dining room set into the interior with the seats folded down and some judicious packing.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Michael A.

I am not quite sure that I like the odd triangle windows on the sides, they seem like they would be a pain to replace. It is also tough to reach the interior front window to wash it properly. I also preferred having leather seats.

dislikeFilled Suleme A.

The space can be small if there are 4-5 people in the car - especially if there's a car seat involved. I personally wish this had a CD player installed, but this might just be a change in all new cars.

dislikeFilled Samuel M.

Poor legroom, especially for the driver -- the Honda fit is not a vehicle for those with very long legs. Additionally, the 2018 fit seems to have airflow issues that can cause bad window fogging in the front, so be prepared to run the condenser when you would not otherwise -- even with the windows open.
