2018 Are Honda Fits Easy to Steal
Best and Worst Honda Fit Years
The Honda Fit was sold in the U.S. for 14 years. We compare all model years to suggest the best option for you.
The Honda Fit has been around since 2007 and continues to rack up countless accolades from the automotive and consumer press. In 2019, the Fit helped Honda get recognized as the "Best Value in America" in the passenger car category by automotive analysis firm Vincentric.
Together with the overall passenger car award, the 2019 Honda Fit won in the subcompact hatchback category. Winners of the Vincentric awards are determined by a cost of ownership analysis that factors depreciation, fuel, and maintenance costs plus other factors.
Also in 2019, the Honda lineup was projected to retain its value over time the strongest after three years of ownership compared to any mainstream auto brand, according to J.D. Power's ALG Automotive Insights, which forecasts new vehicle depreciation.
In addition to Honda's recognition as the "Best Overall Mainstream Brand," the Honda Accord, Fit, Odyssey, and Pilot returned to ALG's list of Residual Value Awards, as these models led the pack within their segments.
Despite the Fit hatchback's many awards, Honda announced in 2020 that the model was being discontinued in America. The 2020 Honda Fit said goodbye while still continuing to offer decent fuel efficiency and innovative design features, such as the fuel tank mounted underneath the front-row seats, which gave the 2020 Fit extra cargo capacity, boasting a class-leading 52.7 cu. ft. of space with the rear seats folded down.
Standard features on all the more recent Fit models included rearview camera, liftgate spoiler, auto on-off headlights, LED taillights, Bluetooth, and a multi-function center console. Thus, the award-winning Honda Fit is a great option for car buyers looking for a reliable pre-owned hatchback.
Considering buying a used Honda Fit but concerned about where to start? There are a few things you should know about what has been the smallest vehicle offered from Honda for over a decade.
Honda Fit: First Generation (2007-2008)
Introduced in the American market for the 2007 model year, the Honda Fit was slated to take the place of the Civic hatchback as the small hatch in the U.S. market.
Going up against competitors like the now-defunct Dodge Caliber, Suzuki Reno, and Toyota Yaris, as well as the Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio5, and Nissan Versa, the 2007 Honda Fit was a strong competitor amongst its class of sub-compact hatchbacks. These vehicles were at their prominence in recent years thanks to fuel prices rising to over $3/gallon in the mid- to late 2000's.
Specifications of the first-generation Fit are a 1.5L VTEC four-cylinder engine producing 109 horsepower and 105 lb.-ft. of torque. Both manual and automatic transmissions were available, and the EPA rated them for 33 mpg city and 38 mpg highway with the manual transmission.
Perhaps the most unique feature of the Fit was not its engine or fuel economy, but the interesting ways the interior could be configured for such a small vehicle.
The miniature size may fool buyers on the outside as the interior can swallow up to 42 cu. ft. of gear with the back seats folded into "Utility Mode." Furthermore, the front seats could be reclined into what Honda dubbed "Refresh Mode," a nearly flat surface for a quick power nap in the parking lot.
Taking first place in a Car and Driver comparison test its first year on the market against six of its main competitors is certainly a way to make an entrance into a new market, as this generation of Honda Fit had been sold overseas since 2001 as the Honda Jazz, primarily.
Deciding that small cars should not be "penalty boxes," Car and Driver editors noted that the highpoints of the 2007 Honda Fit were its "classy interior, sporty handling, and being quick-witted in all its moves." In fact, they called it the go-kart of economobiles, high praise from a bunch of auto enthusiast journalists.
The praise did not stop there, Car and Driver named the Fit to its "10 Best" list a total of six years: 2007-2012. Vehicles that are new, significantly upgraded, or a previous year's winner are eligible for this award. The first generation also received the NHTSA's top five-star Safety rating.
The first generation did not last long, as the platform has existed worldwide since 2001, meaning 2007 and 2008 were the only model years for the short-lived first model.
Honda Fit: Second Generation (2009-2014)
The second-generation Honda Fit was focused on one thing: refinement. Already a sound competitor amongst its peers, the new 2009 model did it all better than before. Growing in nearly all dimensions, it was also roomier than before.
Cargo space jumped from the previous generation's 42 cu. ft. to an impressive 57.3 cu. ft. in the new model.
Continuing the theme of refinement, overall vehicle stiffness and ride quality were improved over the outgoing model. The new Fit maintained its go-kart-like reflexes to go with the new sleeker and sportier styling. Interior appointments were improved as well, replacing a car that had been eight model years globally, the upgraded interiors were welcomed by buyers for the 2009 model year.
New features like dual gloveboxes, USB inputs, and more outward visibility made the new Fit a better place to spend time.
Power is still created from a 1.5L VTEC four-cylinder engine, now producing 117 horsepower and 106 lb.-ft. of torque still mated to your choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The increased proportions of this new generation meant that fuel economy took a hit over the outgoing model, at 28/35/31 (city/hwy/combined) buyers paid the price at the pump for the new Fit's extra size.
As fuel prices began creeping over $4/gallon, keeping competitive fuel economy numbers was still vital for the car's success in the Honda lineup.
J.D. Power noted that the Pros for the new model were the amount of cargo capacity, the new gauge styling, and the transmission smoothness. The problem areas were the feel of the seat material, the quality of the interior materials, and the vehicle's overall ride.
Honda Fit: Third Generation (2015-2020)
The final generation to be sold in the U.S. began production for the 2015 model year, stealing styling from the biggest people mover in the Honda lineup, the Odyssey minivan.
The new model aimed to improve over the previous two generations with an even quicker, safer, and more fuel-efficient package than before.
Still using a 1.5L four-cylinder engine, the third-generation Honda Fit produced 130 horsepower and 114 lb.-ft. of torque.
Transmissions are either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) which is designed for better fuel economy over a typical automatic.
Fuel economy tops out at 33/41/36 mpg (city/hwy/combined) with that CVT being the most fuel-efficient choice in the LX trim.
The third-generation Fit's interior is perhaps the nicest of the nameplate's history. With ergonomic touches like a dash-mounted cupholder to the left of the steering wheel, in addition to the two mounted low in front of the shifter, Honda interior designers took advantage of every square inch of interior space.
Touchscreen infotainment, push-button ignition, and USB ports are just some of the modern amenities that buyers will find in this generation of Honda Fit.
Rear seat legroom was increased over the previous model, sacrificing rear cargo space behind those rear seats. (Check out the video below for a look at how the 2015 Honda Fit did on a challenging road test.)
Subcompact class cars are known for their cheaper materials and lack of technology and amenities, but Honda brings Honda Sensing safety features, if you opt for the CVT on the EX or EX-L models, as well as optional leather seats that can be heated.
Which Honda Fit Should You Buy/Avoid?
The biggest factor when looking at the recalls over the lifespan of the Honda Fit is the infamous Takata Airbag Recall. Affecting 2007-2014 model years, the Takata Airbag inflators are the main culprit behind the inflated recall numbers for the early generations of the Honda Fit.
If you do find a Honda Fit model that fits your needs but has an outstanding recall due to the Takata Airbag inflator unit, Honda will repair all parts and give owners a free one-day car rental if needed.
Beyond this issue, Honda's reputation for build quality and reliability holds up under scrutiny, with model years 2017, 2018, and 2020 all avoiding a single recall, as of the writing of this article.
Given the rise in popularity of SUVs and crossovers, it is no surprise that Honda has chosen not to sell the Fit in America for the 2021 model year. This gives buyers looking at the Honda Fit 14 model years from which to choose. (Check out the video below for a comprehensive look at the 2019 model year option.)
Recall issues aside, the best value appears to be the second generation, 2009 through 2014. Given the improvements in size, handling, and fuel-economy, paired with the natural depreciation of used vehicles, the second-generation Honda Fit falls into the high-value quadrant.
According to Consumer Reports, buyers could likely find a 2009-2014 model year Fit between $6,400 and $11,000. Ranked by many reviewers including Motor Trend as one of the most engaging to drive, the second-generation cars seem to be the best value and most entertaining to drive of all years.
Interior cargo volume is perhaps also the most usable for these model years as well, being the best mix of rear legroom and hatchback cargo storage. The overall safety of this vehicle also means it would be a good first car.
Honda's reputation for reliability should have buyers putting many miles on any year model they choose, but those miles will not be heavy on fuel usage as all generations of Fit sip the fuel. All years and trims averaged over 30mpg combined, meaning a Honda Fit of any generation will be a great value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Apr 9, 2022
What year Honda Fit is most reliable?
Based on reliability ratings for the best years for the Honda Fit are the 2009 through 2014 model years. This was technically the second generation for them and they had worked out a lot of the bugs that were present in the first generation. The year that has the lowest overall complaints is 2009.
The next best years are 2007 through 2008 when it was the first generation. There were some minor problems but they still had the legendary Honda reliability that can get them to 200,000 miles easily.
The third generation of the Fit released in 2015 scores the lowest on overall reliability. This typically is due to the inherent problems with CVT transmissions. They are a bit more fragile than a traditional automatic or manual transmission and that leads to more reported trips to mechanics or dealers than the earlier years.
How many years will a Honda Fit last?
A Honda Fit should have no problem lasting 13 to 20 years as long as you keep up with the scheduled maintenance on the vehicle. Keeping up with the maintenance is the most important thing you can do to help eliminate mechanical breakdown problems on any car.
Honda has been known for producing vehicles that are capable of reaching 200,000 miles easily and the Fit is no different. If you average 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year that gives you the range of 13 to 20 years until you reach 200,000 miles. That is not to say that all Honda Fits will have issues at 200,000 miles and that will be the end of their life. In most cases as long as you are willing to continue taking care of the car it should have no problem going even further. The Fit was first introduced in 2007 and there are plenty of 2007 models that are still on the road today in 2021.
Is Honda Fit a reliable car?
The Honda Fit is considered to be a very reliable car. The second generation is where Honda was really able to maximize their reliability ratings for the Fit. They were able to fix some of the issues that came up with the first generation, and it was before they made the move to CVT transmissions.
The third-generation Fit is still an extremely reliable vehicle, but the addition of the CVT transmission has been a downside for it. CVT transmissions are much more fragile than traditional transmissions. There are also not many CVT transmission rebuilders so when they fail they usually need to be replaced completely. This can lead to higher repair costs than a regular transmission.
I would still expect any new Fit to be able to go 250,000 miles with no serious problems as long as you take care of them. It is always a good idea to get your oil changed and have the rest of the components inspected by a mechanic at least twice a year.

2009 Fit Sport Manual
Bought a 2009 Fit sport with a 5 speed to replace my boring Prius for my 100 mile a day commute. I got it for $5k with 117k miles on it a year and a half ago, and it has 157k on it now. Things I replaced: Rear shocks, alternator, catalytic converter (cheap on ebay), breaks all around, A/C compressor. All told I put another $4k into it, but thats to be expected buying an older car. Now it runs like a champ. Pros: Decent gas mileage (34-36), slick shifting trans, handles great. CONS: No tech at all, this is the most bare bones car Honda makes. Crashy suspension, you hit a pothole and your mother feels it, don't buy it if your looking for a smooth riding car, slow. I frequently drive it from CT to NC and back over long weekends and it does fine. I even tow a small trailer to do light landscaping and haul my dirtbikes on.

2018 Honda Fit seems to be a mistake.
I drive 50 miles a day and was looking for a car good on gas. Saw the Fit and purchased it June 2018. I have loved it up till now. Got in the car and turned it on and all the warning lights came on and wouldn't go off. After going to two different dealers to look at it I was told it was miss firing. I have 12,000 miles on it. It has been in the shop 5 days now and they have replace the heads, fuel injectors and the fuel line and now I am told they are waiting to hear from Honda to get permission to flush the engine because there is to much carbon in it. Just really disappointed. Just really disappointed and afraid I made a mistake. If this is happening now what will happen in the future.

2017 Honda Fit is at the top of its class.
My 2017 Honda fit is very reliable. I have had it for under a year, I have approximately 10,000 miles on it, and I have not had a to do any repairs, except the normal maintenance of change the oil. When the tire air pressure is low, I light comes on in the vehicle to alert me to add air. How cool is that! The features are mostly the same as any other features in other cars in its class, so i'd say they are "nothing to write home about". It handles the road well (performance); picking up speed is about average. I do like the big windshield and big windshield wipers for those times you need added visibility in storms. The backseat is quite roomy. The hatchback is roomy as well.
Jackie A on October 21, 2021
2018 Fit is a Small Hatchback with a Big Personality.
My vehicle is a well performing car for the price. It isn't the fastest car but I consider it pretty reliable. I haven't had any problems so far with the car and I've owned it for a little over a year. The car has more space than you would think because of its small size. The back passengers have more leg room compared to other small compact hatchback cars. The car has a sunroof, is automatic, has 4 cup holders in the driver and passenger side. The car also has Apple Carplay which is a nice feature to have if you like listening to your own music from your phone. The screen in the car is touch screen also.
Laura V on October 2, 2021
2018 Honda Fit is the perfect car for commuting and has great hands-free features.
It's a really great car, has been very reliable, runs smoothly and is perfect for someone like me who uses it to commute everyday. It doesn't guzzle gas which is nice, and you get a lot of mileage out of it. I like the Bluetooth connectivity which allows me to link my phone and play music on Spotify. Having the controls for that on the steering wheel is great too because I don't have to take my hands off the wheel to skip a song or adjust volume. Also able to answer incoming phone calls or set it up so that I can make calls using voice recognition without having to use my hands. I love my car!
Virginia G on August 18, 2021
Lots of perks in a little 2015 Honda Fit
The fit gets great gas mileage - 42-44 mpg in the summer, a little less in the winter (38 mpg). Handles really well in all weather conditions. I love that the seats configure in different ways and so far I have been able to move any large items that I have needed to move. The black interior gets a little warm in the summer, but the ac works great. One dislike - I live in a rural area, sometimes have to drive on gravel roads and the rear window tends to collect a lot of gravel dust. There is a rear wiper, but it does not remove the dust from the entire rear window.

2013 honda fit sport
Got mine for 9k at the time, with 93k miles. Idrive less than 6k a year. I have to say it was worth every penny, no issues whatsoever. I'm 6ft tall and had plenty of room. My only complaint isthe head rests are kind ofangled downward so if you are tall and need them fully extended it will feel 'off'. Otherwise she rooma-zoom-zooms. One of the fastest to accelerate vehicles I've owed and excellent sound system. Mine was automatic -trans. Handling is excellent. Really goes around those corners nicely without throwing you around.
Rachel M on August 2, 2021
Small but spacious 2009 Honda Fit!
My 2009 Honda fit is small but has large amount of room inside, enough for long legged peeps and those that like their space! The gas mileage is amazing, with about 35 to the gallon on Hwy. You can get into tight spaces, (not encouraging anything) runs smooth, and easy to handle. Honda is just a great car. The cons with Honda is that it is a light car so the wind can feel like it hurts the car harder than normal. At the end of the day, the Honda fit is definitely reliable and worth a try.
Maria M on July 14, 2021
2008 Honda Fit not big enough for a family.
I would say this car is too small for me. If it were just me it would be fine. The back seat lays down all the way and the seats convert all the way up for cleaning. It does not speed up very fast at all, expect to get driven around a lot. I have had transmission issues in the past and hear it holds true for other fit owners as well. I enjoy the mileage and amount of money it takes to fill up the tank.
Amanda M on August 12, 2021
Perfect sized vehicle for parking in tight spaces.
It is the perfect car for fitting in small spaces and living in a big city. One of my concerns is that it is very light and is easily moved by the wind. My biggest qualm is the air conditioning. I took a 6 hour road trip once and being that the car is so small the ac only last a couple of hours. My husband and I were driving through desert and were miserable on the way to our destination and back home.
Victoria A on November 6, 2021
Regret purchasing the 2015 Fit.
I love the color and that it has reasonable gas mileage. I am frustrated with the expensive servicing it has required. I am annoyed that I was told it was bigger than it looks and would totally fit a bike-yeah no, it isn't and it doesn't. There is also a design flaw in that sharp turns toward the curb in parking will cause the bumper to scrape the pavement because it is such a low riding frame.
Daniel J on September 5, 2021
2018 Honda fit: ex sub-model with a manual transmission.
The only feature I do not like is the headlights. Does not have led headlights and the high beams are not strong enough. Reliability has been perfect. Car is fairly comfortable for a small car. Suspension is tight. Performance is adequate but this is not a fast car. Had huge cargo area and very functional seating that can be changed around easily to accommodate cargo.
Chris W on August 10, 2021
2017 Fit is the biggest small car for your money!
The 2017 Honda fit is the best car I have had the pleasure of driving. Very reliable and smooth ride all around. The interior is spacious and modern. It has some of the best storage room you could ask for. I am a 6'3" tall man and have ample leg room and clearance for my head. Looks small on the outside but has everything you could want on the inside. Great car!
Gordon Holcomb on February 13, 2022
2013 Honda Fit
I've been very pleased with my 2013 Honda Fit. The only problem was the recall for the airbag. I have 36k mileage on it and have had no problems except to replace front tires that wore prematurely because of alignment problem. My one complaint is that the driver side visor is next to useless. The person responsible for it should have been fired years ago and maybe.
Caitlin H on October 26, 2021
My 2016 Honda fit is the perfect car for me.
I love my Honda fit! It gets great gas mileage and even though it is a small car, when I lay the seats down I can fit a huge amount in the back. I have even used it to move tables and chairs. It is easy to maneuver, easy to park, has not broken down yet. The only issue I have had so far is that the paint scratches very easily. That might be user error though!
Alexandra C on October 7, 2021
2018 Fit is a great and reliable car for a fantastic price point.
I love the way it drives and its great fuel economy. It is incredibly spacious for a subcompact car. The amount of space you can get from bringing the seats down is very impressive. It has been reliable and has really great safety features. The technology in the car has been a huge upside and I can no longer live without my backup camera and side view camera.
Ashley W on October 4, 2021
2016 Fit is a smaller vehicle, so if you're a taller individual this may not be for you.
I absolutely love my car. It has Bluetooth capabilities which makes life easier, a backup camera which might be my favorite feature, a bright yellow color which makes finding it so much easier in a crowded area. It's comfortable to drive and small enough to fit into tiny parking spaces. I have no complaints about this car. It's the best car I've ever owned.
Kate H on June 28, 2021
The perfect car. The 2017 Fit is reliable.. It is also roomy.
My Honda fit is the perfect car for me! It gets great gas mileage, is reliable and dependable. The price is right too, though I added features that increased the price. I really wanted backup cameras and leather interior; my fit is comfortable for a compact car. There's plenty of room in the hatch, more so when the back seat is folded down.
Bree C on August 30, 2021
Cameras in my 2020 Honda Fit are my favorite feature.
We absolutely love our new Honda fit. It gets great gas mileage and is comfortable enough to road trip all over the country in! The side and backup cameras are my favorite feature. The smart knowledge slows you down automatically if you get too close to someone or start to leave the road. Weird at first but my favorite safety feature!
Dayna F on June 20, 2021
2018 Fit is a great car for the price!
The vehicle runs very well. We 've had it for a little over a year with no problems. It is looks sleek in the white color. It is the perfect size for parking downtown. The backup assist is very helpful. A few things that I wish were better are the shocks and it is a little too low to the ground so you really feel the bumps.
Amanda P on July 13, 2021
2015 Fit is a good starter car, lots of positive qualities.
The car is nice, compact, and drives very well. It gets good mileage, which is always a plus! I also really like the Bluetooth connection and the rear camera--it's helpful when it comes to parallel parking in the city. The trunk has enough space for all the things I need. It is a good car for one or two people.
Sandy G on July 30, 2021
2017 Fit is a great all around car for in town driving or road trips.
Very reliable and sound proof at a high speed. It gets great gas mileage and has gotten as high as 53 miles per gallon. It is comfortable even for tall people. It still has a good sight of vision for someone over six foot tall. We like the interior and the sound system also. It is great for traveling,
Carrie J on August 30, 2021
The 2015 Fit has road noise issue but child friendly.
There is a good deal of road noise particularly when you are on the interstate. The Bluetooth feature is hardly usable due to this issue as people seem to hear more background noise that the conversation. I love the gas mileage I get however, and car is really easy for getting children in and out of.
Dakota K on October 3, 2021
My vehicle is a 2011 Honda fit
The reliability is bad. If I am going around 70 mph or more the wind get under my car and starts to turn on it is own. There was a recall on the airbags. It is very small and not much room. There is no center console. The transmission sounds like it is going to explode if try to go to fast to quick.
Julia B on October 26, 2021
The 2017 Honda Fit is a car that is small, but packs a punch.
A reliable car that is the perfect size for me and does pretty well on gas. I have taken multiple long road trips with it, and it is been nothing but amazing! The only complaint I have is that the check engine light comes on all the time, even when I just got it serviced and there is nothing wrong.
Quinn A on July 7, 2021
I love the large cargo space in the 2019 Fit.
My car is almost perfect. I love the great gas mileage that I get in eco-mode. It has so much room for passengers and cargo. Putting the seats down makes enough room for furniture. It is fun to drive and is really comfortable. I will continue to buy Honda vehicles because of how reliable they are.
Cora L on July 11, 2021
Small issues but overall the 2019 Fit is good.
I haven't had this car for long but I am enjoying it. My main complaint is that the audio and hands-free system is slow and has an awkward interface. It does not respond to voice commands as it should. It drives well and I love the brake warning system that alerts me to cars stopped ahead of me.
Carrie on October 23, 2021
Small but mighty 2015 Honda Fit. Surprisingly versatile, roomy, and dependable.
We've had the car for 3.5 years and have had no maintenance issues (save tires and battery). What we love is the flexibility; the seats fold down for hauling and it can easily haul most stuff we need. It is also remarkably roomy for a small car (even the back seat is reasonably comfortable).
A F on November 4, 2021
2016 Fit is excellent for our family.
Very reliable, spacious for its size. We love the different ways the seats fold; we can fit all sorts of things in the car. The right-hand camera is especially useful with all the bike lanes in our city. Gets pretty solid mileage, and filling up is way less expensive than our previous car.
Mike on March 16, 2022
2010 base
Bought my 2010 fit in 2014 with 14k miles for 9,900. Now I have 114k on it and so far never has a problem with it. I'm 6'2" 230 lbs and it's spacious enough for me. I haul around a 2.5 year old and 1 year old no problems. Plenty of trunk space even with the child seats installed.
Barbara L on June 14, 2021
2019 Fit is not as good as older models.
I had one of the 1st Fit, so I was expecting the same. Quality is less on this Fit, and comes with less standard features. Cup holders are not convenient, it does not come with cargo cover or mats, wipers have only 3 speeds. Quality of flooring (carpet) feels like it can tear easily.
Patricia A on August 11, 2021
2018 Honda Fit - more space, less money.
The car is small but reliable. Extremely good on gas. The back seats fold up or down - perfect for storing different objects. I have had the vehicle over 6 months and so far have not required any additional maintenance other than an oil change and putting in windshield washer fluid.
Rick W. on October 12, 2021
Beware of known 2015 Honda Fit fuel injector problems
Beware of the 2015 Fit fuel injector problems and the Tech Service Bulletins related to the P219A code. Fit forums claim fuel injectors were redesigned sometime during the 2016 model year. I learned the hard way of this expensive fix and would never recommend the 2015 models.
Leslie W on November 14, 2021
2016 Fit is a great commuter car.
My car does exactly what I bought it for. It gets great gas mileage and has been dependable. It has great pick up, has good interior room and is easy to drive. It does not block out road noise well and the seats could be more comfortable but for work commute, it is perfect.
Sam C on August 25, 2021
Excellent gas mileage for the 2016 Honda Fit.
I really like the Honda fit. It is large enough to drive a group of people around. The seats also fold down to fit large pieces of furniture. The gas mileage is unmatched. I also really like the sound system which connects easily by Bluetooth to play music from my phone.
Katherine J on August 8, 2021
The 2016 Honda Fit gets really great gas mileage and is comfortable for such a small car.
I love the gas mileage of the car. It is currently getting 41.6 miles per gallon, which is awesome for saving money during my long commute. The car is small, but comfortable. I would definitely recommend a Honda Fit to friends and family.
BustedbyGolly on June 25, 2021
Beware Second Generation!
My 2013 Fit was very reliable until a spark plug, third cylinder I believe, blew out of the engine, necessitating a replacement engine. At 51,000 miles. Honda did nothing. So, get the plugs checked, probably every other oil change.
Jason M on August 30, 2021
2020 Honda fit with apple CarPlay.
Roomy interior. Rough ride, good gas mileage. Apple CarPlay is a must. I really like this car. It is a budget get around town car. One of the things I have come to like the most is the visibility in the driver's seat.
Liz Z on August 4, 2021
2011 Fit with airbag recall and air issues.
The air stopped working except when it was on 4 (the highest level) which seemed to be a fairly common issue for certain past years of the fit. There has also been a recall on the airbags for certain models.
Thomas H on November 15, 2021
The gas mileage on the car is amazing. I can normally take a 5 hour trip and only fill up once on the highways.
I love how small and compact it is. I like that the backseats can drop down and extent the cargo space. I love the gas mileage. I don't like that people can see right into the trunk from the outside.
Stef E on November 24, 2021
2019 Fit battery will not stay charged.
I had a 2009 Fit and loved it. Never a problem. So I was excited to get the 2019 model. What a pain this car is; and all due to one problem. If you don't drive it every 3-4 days the battery dies!
Heather W on August 30, 2021
2015 Fit gets great gas mileage.
I like my car because I get great gas mileage out of my car. I like that I can use to it to fit my family and sometimes big purchases. The one thing I don't like my car is It's expensive to fix.

The 2010 Honda Fit gets great gas mileage on the highway, but bad abs system.
The abs system is awful. It just makes it difficult to break in the snow. The gas mileage is awful in the city but very good on the highway.
