Most reliable car on the planet
I've been looking at the Consumer Reports car issue for 10 years, and the Honda Fit is the most reliable car in the mag every year. I've put 1800 miles on mine so far, and have averaged 41.5 miles per gallon. Back up camera, front and side air bags, and blue tooth are standard. Ride comfort is about what you'd expect from an econo-box, but more leg-room in the back than most cars. Front seats fold all the way back to make 2 pretty comfortable beds if you're going to be on the road awhile.

Love My New Car
I have had my 2016 Honda Fit for a week now, and I am in love with it. The cameras for backing up and turning right are very helpful. I never expected such items in an economical vehicle. I can even receive texts and phone calls without touching my phone! I wish the cup holders were placed better, and I wish there were some in the back seat, but such things are minor.

Amazing versatility
This car should be marketed as the practical alternative to hybirds since no $3500-&7000 battery replacement is needed a few years down the road. Our around town mileage is at 40 mpg!!

So far, very nice!
I've been looking at Fits for a few years and finally took the plunge as my aging Jetta wagon started to use oil in spite of controlled driving and good care. There are lots of Fits on the road and everyone that I know who owns one likes them. The redesign was also nice and a sunroof was also available (remember, I have to have a fun factor hear) I was able to get one of the last 2015's, a standard (again, fun factor) and I've owned the car almost 3 weeks now. The technology is a little overwhelming (remember, my other cars was almost 14 years old!) But I am getting used to it. I love the mileage, just around 40 mpg. Great space, especially with the back seats down. I am looking for great things from.Honda, reliability being a key thing. The car is fun and functional, easy to maneuver with great space for back seat passengers as well. So, I am loving the car so far! Check back in a few months for my next review.

a car well worth buying
we have the car for a bit less than 4 weeks. a brother in law recommended it. we are not sorry. we love it. the versatility is amazing. the seat variables are many and make the interior so much larger than we imagined. gas mileage is terrific. it's a bit noisy in the lower gears (we have an automatic) but smooths out as it reaches cruising speed. lotsa air bags and decent sound. the touch screen is not very friendly. difficult to navigate and not compatible with our cell phone. i'd still recommend it to anyone.

Great car, the worst infotainment
The car runs great but the the infotainment is one of the worst I have ever seen. There are so many redundancies to actually get what you want.......which is something you do not want when driving and using a touchscreen! Also absolutely no support for Android phones.....it would be so much better to have Google Voice control when using this system. Be prepared to replace the infotainment system.

great value
Very good overall. A couple things I'd change though. Intermittent wipers are single speed. Center console armrest is so low as to be unuseable. Single cd player. Otherwise great, 42 actual mpg overall.

Good car but uncomfortable
I like this car, the interior is well thought out but the drivers seat is terribly uncomfortable. Absolutely no lower back or lumbar support. Give it about an hour and the driver may start to hurt. Had to buy a couple of products that provide lower back support in order to drive for any length of time. I am 5'9" so not unusual there. This vehicle would probably be very uncomfortable for anyone taller than me because the seat does not go back very far at all. I like all the tech but a volume knob on the dash would have been welcome. There is no place to put your right arm. There is an armrest but it is too low to be of any use. The steering wheel has this spoke or net in the bottom center that makes gripping it difficult when turning or driving.
