Large interior capacity and practical
I like that it was affordable and practical. I can fit so much stuff in it. It's not super strong but it's everything that I need it to be.

It's much bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
The the economy of the car and it is great for hauling around things. Much bigger in the inside than it looks. Gets great gas mileage.

Fits anything, goes anywhere.
The Honda fit can be a loud car, and road noise can be an issue. This can alleviated with the right tires, however, so look into what kind it comes with. It is a good vehicle, easy to service yourself, and the parts last well long-term. It has great acceleration and handling, with sharp turning radius, and it is comfortable for long trips. It really can 'fit' anything--it feels bigger on the inside. The window placement keeps it from feeling cramped.

The Fit fits my 5-foot driver frame AND Hubby's 6'1" frame comfortably, and is as safe as we can get in a small car.
The Fit is as close as I can get to the safety-foam-filling car in "Demolition Man." I've been in 11 MVAs, most as a car PASSENGER, and not my fault, so safety is important. This Fit also affords me nearly 360-degree view, so I'll SEE the nex idiot before they hit me.

Honda fit is an exceptional overall car.
Overall I am very happy with my fit. Dives well and has been very reliable. The only thing I do not like is the location of the cup holders - and if that is my only complaint well then - it is done a good job. I have a toddler and we have managed the car seat just fine. Love the flexibility and options of the hatch back.
accountCircle Miri P
Totally recommend, very reliable and gas saver no doubt!
No complaints at all, Honda seems to know what they are doing. I have had vehicle for 8 years and as long as I keep the maintenance up there has been no mechanical issues at all. Very reliable, fills up the gas tank with just eight gallons and it gives me three hundred miles minimum. Very comfortable and roomy as well. Have been able to put the seats down and maximizes the space.
accountCircle Teri R
Great fit for the money with tons of storage.
I love my Honda fit and am very happy with the purchase. Gets great gas mileage and has tons of space for storage. Reliable and does not cost a ton of money for repairs. The only thing is you will never win any races in this car and it can be uncomfortable for long trips. However it is perfect for running errands and short trips.
accountCircle Abigail P
It is a fantastic car for what it's worth.
I like the size, the feel of the drive, and the hatchback trunk. What I do not like, however, is that it rides low, causing damage to the front of your car over time. It also has a fairly weak engine, and very little power when it comes to driving fast on the highway.

For how small the fit is, it is able to fit a lot inside.
Lasted a long time but just recently started having engine issues. Back hatch quit working. Back driver side door quit working. Everything else works well. Great gas mileage. Very easy to clean. Fun to drive. Rides smoothly. The paint colors can be difficult to find if you scratch it.
accountCircle Stephanie J
Spunky full of spark and roomy.
Gets great gas mileage. Love the sound system. Great view from the windows. Love the hatchback style. Love the fact I can plug it in anywhere and get a full charge in six hours. I am able to haul small dressers and chairs when the seats are folded down.
accountCircle Alexandria B
Honda fit 2011 horrible in winter.
It is horrible in winter. Otherwise, I love the room and performance. Do your oil changed and it's a great car. I will not get another though. I live in Maine. I need something for winter. Roomy comfortable lot of cargo space when back seats are folded down. Gas mileage ok. Not great not horrible.

2011 Honda fit sport black hatchback.
It's just the regular Honda fit sport. Its reliable but it's got a lot of miles on it so it's time to start replacing stuff. So far there's over 135k miles on it and it's time to replace the brakes and one of the brake calipers. It's definitely a reliable car. The only thing I don't like is that it's an older car. I do want a more modern car.
accountCircle Kaitlyn J
I love how many miles I can go on a tank of gas. It shows mpg on dash.
I am not in love with my Honda fit but it is a reliable car to have. I have had mine for almost 4 years, I drive it daily and have had basically no issues with it. I only wish I had a higher up car but that has not to do with the fit. It is a great car for trips for sure saves on gas.
accountCircle Alex K
Enjoyable to drive but has some engine problems.
Comfortable and size is compact, but has a good amount of room inside. Has had some issues with the engine where it is broken down while driving. Have had to get this fixed about 3-4 times, but it has not done it in over a year now. Very smooth and easy to drive.
accountCircle Scott S
10 cup holders. IPod connection.
2011 Honda fit sport. 1.4 inline 4 cylinder. 5 speed manual. Power windows. Aircon. Keyless entry. Reliability has been good. Besides wear items like brake pads, tires only spark plugs and ac compressor has been replaced. Interior wear has been a lot more than desired.
accountCircle Michelle V
Honda fit. Perfect "fit" for city life.
What I like about the fit is I can easily park it in the city. While it is small it is not cramped. What I dislike is it does not bode well with the big potholes in Washington dc. It is great on gas, and I have not had any real problems with the car.

Great for long road trips!
Great gas mileage efficiency. Surprisingly spacious with amazing comfort. Very reliable and dependable. Surprising amount of storage space. We were able to do a cross country drive from Philadelphia to Milwaukee with two adults, a 70 lb dog, and a 1 year and had no issues! Having this car made the trip stress free.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Fran G.

The 2011 Honda Fit sports model is not electric, just a sports model with no extras. You will not find any of the extras that newer model cars have. It is a great small car for city driving and it is a hatchback so you have room for most purchases.

likeFilled Brittany W.

It is small and compact but still has plenty of space for anything I am hauling around. The back seats lay flat making a great space for my dogs to lay down and still have room for weekend getaway luggage.

likeFilled Jayashree B.

It drives smooth, efficient gas mileage, and it is quite compared to other cars I have drove in the past. The amount of space in the back if amazing, great for moving medium sized furniture. Comfy seats. Able to function with add-ons such as a Bluetooth player or speaker that contacts up to the cars speakers.

likeFilled Cindy F.

Good mileage. Has a lot of space in the front seat even though it's a small car. The back seats fold down so you can haul items plus you can put only one of the seats down so you could have three people. Synthetic oil so you don't have to change it as often. Easy to maneuver and park.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Fran G.

As I said before the 2011 Honda Fit sports model does not have any of the extras that you find on newer model cars. I would imagine that people would find it uncomfortable for long distance travel. It works great in the city.

dislikeFilled Brittany W.

It does not have four wheel drive and it sits pretty low to the ground sometimes limiting where I can drive it. The low profile tires add to this difficulty further limiting me on what areas I can drive in.

dislikeFilled Jayashree B.

Cannot move large such as a couch, like a larger vehicle would be able to do. The rear view window is slightly smaller than most forms of smaller cars. The seats are fabric, which take longer to warm up than leather on cold days and are harder to clean.

dislikeFilled Cindy F.

The only thing I find that annoys me is the fact the tires are very pressure sensitive. When our weather goes from fall into a really cold winter day, there's always a chance that the tire pressure icon shows up and you have to add air in the tires.

My Honda fit was an amazing value. There were less than 30,000 miles on my car and I got it for about $13,000. I've had it for 2 years and still cannot believe the quality of this vehicle.
Samantha M.
I bought it for around U$ 20,000.00 brand new. It was a good value for the money. The tank is small (9 gallons) and I drive around 22 miles a day in traffic and one tank lasts about 1.5 weeks
Valerie O.
I bought it for $12,000 in 2014. I believe it is a good value especially in comparison to vehicles with lower mpg.

I believe I bought mine for under $10,000. I think it’s a great value for the cost! Other used cars from a similar year cost much more and I don't hear as many positive reviews
