Very spacious and good on gas
Very reliable. It is a spacious car and it is more spacious when the seats are down. Very good on gas for commutes

Long distance friendly Parking easily Small Easy to drive
No problem with my car. It's really comfortable to drive in this heavy traffic Los Angeles area. It saves gas and oil. It's small and it's easy to park. I traveled in town and out of town a lot and it's easy to drive for long trips as well. I'm happy with it.

Thoughtful design, down to the cup holder!
This is a very comfortable vehicle. The set up is intuitive, especially for a small person. Compact structure. But plenty of storage room. Drives well both city and highway. Attractive. The backup camera is clear. The driver cup holder is a surprisingly major point!

Vehicle gets High gas mileage and is a very fun vehicle to drive
Love the way it drives. The miles per gallon I get, the low maintenance of the vehicle
accountCircle Darlene D
I like the way it looks and its small size
Tells you how you fuel usage is and gives you a nice quiet ride. It has heated seats for the winter. It is great to back up and see what is going on as you do. It is a hatchback and the trunk open by lifting up the latch under the license plate. It has a lot of other features like Sirius radio

2016 Honda fit review for you.
I really enjoy driving my Honda fit because it has a back up camera and heated seats for the winter. It also has a button to make sure I am driving eco friendly and not waste gas while driving. I also enjoy the sunroof when driving on the highway. It's such a great car!

Great gas mileage, versatile, and spacious.
This vehicle is smooth riding, versatile, great on gas mileage, and surprisingly spacious. It is not all wheel drive so of course it cannot get into extreme terrain; however, it is great for driving up dirt/rock paths to get to hiking starting points. Overall, really good value!

What is causing these transmission problems
This Honda fit has 78,000 miles and has been through 2 transmissions

Honda fit: just no. Boring, reliable, bumpy, economic.
My Honda fit is a good car for someone who wants absolutely no luxury or features. It is basic and boring and ugly. And it has not retained any resale value. In two years it is worth 1/2 the sales price. But it does get good gas mileage and is reliable. But so are other cars that cost the same and offer more features. I am disappointed.
accountCircle Annie O
Too small inside. No one told me it had a 10 gallon gas tank. Handles well, would be better for my grandson than me.
Good mileage, but you still have to stop too often for gas.
accountCircle Meg J
Honda fit: great small car for anybody, easily parked and fits 5.
Our Honda fits are a great 'fit' for us. They easily seat 5 people and are comfortable. They have reasonable gas mileage, and an excellent turning radius. They have a medium trunk space, but we have found bicycle racks can be attached fairly easily if you are a cyclist. Overall nice vehicle, small size makes it easy to park in garages.
accountCircle Kayla R
The windshield is very deep which is interesting since it's a small car.
Seats are not comfortable. Wish there was more leg space in passenger area. Is very reliable in that I haven't experienced many problems with it. It's a commuter car, so it gets good gas mileage. I think the backup camera is great. The oil life is always correct. Cruise control is easy to use and set.
accountCircle Kaylyn S
My vehicle is small and gets close to 34 miles to the gallon.
I have had to get 10 new tires in only 4 years. My air conditioner broke and had to be replaced after 4 years. Reliable, but may cost you quite a bit of money if you do a lot of driving. My hatchback does not open anymore, and there are continuous issues with brakes, alignment, and car tire rotation. Every inspection something new needs fixed.
accountCircle Steve F
2016 fit comfort and performance review.
I have not experienced many issues with my vehicle. At times, the tire pressure sensor is on, and once I check the air and fill the tires, the light will not go off on its own. I usually have to take it to the dealer, or, have it looked at when I get an oil change. . Aside from that, there have been no true issues. I like the fit because of its versatility. When moving or helping others move, the car provides a lot of room to store boxes and other belongings. I like the fact that as a small car, it is easy to maneuver traffic and change lanes on the freeway without trouble. Parking is also easier with the fit, as I am able to get into tight spaces a larger car could it handle. The fit has a comfortable interior and an attractive dash. I do wish there had been satellite radio built into the fit model. It has capability to play AM/FM and cds, but I prefer satellite. I resolved this by having a portable receiver for satellite mounted on the dash, but I would have appreciated not having to do this. The fit seats five average sized adults comfortably. I do not take many passengers, but when I do, no one has complained of lack of space.
accountCircle Matthew B
The Honda fit fits in any parking space.
The car is not big on room. Minimal trunk space. Small car so all the parking spots are yours. Does great on fuel. Not a very good road trip car but if you travel short distances mainly it is probably the car for you. It is a big city car. Driving is pretty smooth and the car can probably make just about any u-turn you can find.

My fit fits me! I am sure it will fit you!
No real problems. Performance is very good. Gas mileage is great. It has not missed a lick since I got it. We have been on several long trips and it is quite comfortable to drive. The dashboard display is nice, it tells me everything I need to know, especially the real time gas usage display.
accountCircle Kiara M on June 25, 2021
Small easy. Spacious trunk when the seats down. Speedy. Four doors.
It is faster than my accord and also it has can fit ignore spaces. It is reliable in all ways you can be sure of that. Another advantage of it is that it high gallons to mileage. The only the that is not favorite about the car is that the truck is small until you let the seats down. That is basically what I can say about the car at the moment nothing more.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Kathleen A.

The care has good gas mileage, drivability, and eco gas feature for city driving with lots of starts and stops. I drive a lot for work, so this is a plus. The hatch back and fold up seats make it versatile for hauling large items and big grocery loads.

likeFilled Kate A.

I love my Honda Fit. It is small and compact, but feels like there is plenty of room inside. It has a full back seat, and a small hatchback, which I love. It gets great gas mileage (around 42 mpg) as well.

likeFilled Greg K.

Fits a lot, great mileage, looks great, small - I like the way it looks and the way it drives. It is a good car, it fits in my parking space and it is great to travel with. Plenty fits inside the car. It is great.

likeFilled Juliette B.

It typically good gas mileage, a large trunk backspace and the back seats go down low. Making it easy to put large items in the back. The reason I purchased it was to have a vehicle with good gas mileage that I could camping or put art supplies in the back easily with fold down chairs.

likeFilled Simran P.

Some pros are that the fit gives more mileage per gallon of gas and that means you spend less on gas. The car is easy for early age drivers to learn the car because it is easy to maneuver on the road.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Kathleen A.

The vehicle is too small to be truly comfortable for my husband, who is 6'2'. Particularly on long drives or with more than two passengers and luggage, it is crowded and not enough leg room. I do not have any other complaints.

dislikeFilled Kate A.

I'd love a slightly larger hatchback. It also does not have all wheel drive which I was used to in my older vehicle. Other than that I do not have any problems with it! It is pretty much the perfect car for me. If you are tall you might not like it though - it is a good fit for short people:).

dislikeFilled Greg K.

None. There are no real cons to this vehicle. It drives great, fits a lot, and looks amazing. Also, it is super small, so it can fit in parking spaces and squeeze past giant vehicles also on the road. I have no complaints.

dislikeFilled Juliette B.

The cupholders are in weird places. The car dents very easily. The seats do not go back as well as the 2014 model. It is had some electrical issues already and it has less than 20,000 miles. I have also had air pressure issues with the tires and the trunk space that holds the spare tire has styrofoam for the shelf on top as opposed to an actual built in shelves. It is made cheaply and it shows.

dislikeFilled Simran P.

Some cons of the fit is that since it is such a small car, it is harder to take on longer drives. The car is used more to drive back and forth in certain areas. The space in the car is somewhat smaller, which means there is less headroom.
