2007 Honda Fit consumer reviews

I love my new Fit. I drove a Dodge Neon for 3 years and traded it in on the Fit. The Fit is very comfortable, handles well, and I find that I get between 30 and 34 mpg., city and highway combined! I have an automatic transmission. I would highly recommend this car. It's not just for the young, I am 50 and find it is the perfect "Fit" for me. Thank you Honda.

Real MPG average (manual transmission): 32-33MPG. Pros: Tight suspension and turning radius. Rear seat folds completely flat w/o removing headrests. Airbags all around. Peppy performance. Sport version has most "modern" features. Ample headroom. Rated very reliable by unbiased source. Large side-view mirrors for minimal blind spots. Plenty of cup holders. Cons: "Bumpy" ride due to short wheel base is not for all. Steering wheel does not telescope. Wish driver seat had more adjustment possibilities. Alarm system does not make a "tone" when armed (only "clicks"). 10 gal. gas tank limits refueling range to around 300 miles. Glove box does not lock. No side body moulding to protect against door dings. Need to be mindful of low chassis clearance on sport model. Manual transmission could shift a bit smoother. There are other "entry" level cars that cost less, but they do not have the features, MPG, or predicted reliability of the Fit. The Sport version is a bit more $, but has most of the features that mid-level cars have. Wanted a car that could haul my goalie gear with ease and get great MPG. Couldn't be happier.

I've had my Fit for just over four months now. I am totally digging the paddle shifters. No other car in it's class offers this. The paddle shifters are what differentiates this car most from Honda's competitors and makes it worthwhile to pay a little more. The space is amazing! I used to have an SUV, but don't miss it one bit. I can get plenty of utility out of this little car without sacrificing gas mileage. The features in this car are cool, but limited (no bluetooth, push-button start, or navigation available). I'm assuming it's because they want to keep the car affordable. No worries though, I added after market accessories. The stereo is decent. However, I added a subwoofer because I like my music loud! The oil life calculator and maintenance minder is convenient. The only complaint I have of this car is lower-than-expected gas mileage. I am currently getting a range between 25-30mpg combined (sometimes even less). I was expecting a little more. I suppose you can get better mileage if you drive with slower acceleration and at slower highway speeds. But I drive my car with fun in mind (I don't want to feel like a slow turtle).Overall, I have no regrets with this vehicle.

I bought a Honda Fit Auto Sport on May 2007, the reason I bought this car is because it said 31/37 mpg on sticker, I try to drive it as gental as possible. and i tried so many difference way. it only goes from 18-22MPG, its really sad. i been contacting Honda, they told me that's the way it's they wont even check it up what's wrong. what should i do???

I went from driving a 1986 half-ton Chevy to my 2007 Honda Fit, which I purchased December 2006. After a good deal of research, I consulted with my used-car-dealer uncle, who told me that I couldn't go wrong with a Honda. I absolutely love my Fit, and have yet to be disappointed with it.

I went from a 2WD Ford Ranger to a Honda Fit. I had this car for almost a year now and absolutely love it. The handling is phenominol. I can go around entrance and exit loops of freeways at 50-55 mph.

I got lucky when I went looking for my Fit. The next one available at my dealer in Farmington, NM was exactly what I wanted, Vivid Blue Sport with a manual transmission. Bought it for a work car but my wife and I both like driving it. She loves to take the Fit to the store, she says it's easy to load and unload. As options go we got all weather mats & rear tray, very happy with those. We get 36 mpg all around on the cheapest gas. Love everything about this car.

This little car is an ingenious, appealing and gas-sipping vehicle. I love it and think you might also. It is not over-loaded with power and if you want to floor it to 75 MPH on the interstate this isn't for you. I traded a 2001 Honda Odyssey for the Fit and am much happier. My two kids and I fit into it just fine and I will never have a monthly gas bill of $270+ as I did in July 2007. Time to re-think the gas guzzlers and get people into smaller cars. This one tops the safety and crash test ratings and I like the side air bags, standard. Fun to drive, in a basic way, plenty of room in the back and easy to shift. I hope to keep this until my 7th grader is out of college or longer. Thanks, Honda. I needed this.

We bought the basic Fit about 7 weeks ago. ALL of the Phoenix dealers put together only had 11 vehicles in stock, and only two basic Fit with a 5 speed, were for sale. So there wasn't much in the way of negotiating available to us. BUT, we are very glad we bought the Fit. Gas mileage has been 35 mpg in mostly city driving. The car has an amazing amount of space for it's size. I am 6'3" tall and I have no trouble at all in the back seat. Handles well. Acceleration is good in the city. We couldn't be happier. We looked at all the competitors (Yaris, Versa, Accent, etc) and even though we paid a bit more than we wanted to, we love this car.

I bought this fabulous FIT Sport sight unseen. I didn't drive one before hand or even sit in one. But, I've owned a Honda or two and when I saw the rave reviews from diverse sources, my mind was made up. I appreciate a vehicle that is tiny on the outside and still enormous on the inside. The 5-door body style and the clever under-the-hood engineering provide the lucky owner with lots of room and easy access enhanced by a cleverly designed interior with easy and practical configuration options. The Fit handles like a go-cart. With no apparent play in the steering wheel, a slight nudge is all that is required to change lanes. The driver best pay attention. I could detect no body lean in normal every day driving. With standard ABS, braking was everything you'd expect. The only option available was the Automatic Transmission. I enjoy driving, so I went with the 5-speed. Honda has always made the best transmissions. This one is no exception to that rule. The smaller engine, in typical Honda fashion, loves to rev. I took me a while to avoid hitting the rev-limiter. I guess it is a necessary evil or Honda would not have included it. Make no mistake about it, you're driving a computer. The computer is driving the car. These clever Honda engineers mapped out the conditions that provide the worst MPG, and then they programmed the computer to minimize the contributing variables. HUH, you say. Well, it might not be as noticeable with the automatic that you would opt for, but I could not help but notice that full-throttle or full power is not available until driving in fifth gear. Not to worry, that what revs are for. The result of this dedication to great mileage is greatly appreciated and apparent. I have yet to achieve less than 30 mpg in town. I'm sure of two things: 1) If ever let my wife use the FIT she would get close to 40 mpg and 2) I would never get my fit back. This car comes loaded and its a HONDA. The Fit didn't cost any more than my 1996 Civic. Yes, I totally love my Fit Sport.
