I took it to get campfire wood once and I asked the guy how much the wood was. He looked at my fit and said, in a somewhat mocking manner, $25 for whatever I can get in that car. He took my money and went inside while I proceeded to load the car with wood. As I pulled out I saw him come out of the house and the look on his face when he saw I had taken almost all of the wood he had out was priceless!

I think we don't like them because one room. We spend a lot of time in our cars. I sat in the back of a Ford Fiesta. It is very impractical. Also safety. Good luck convincing a lot of people to get into a small car like that. Hitting a Camry sounds like a death sentence. And then style. Now this is subjective. But so many subcompacts really look like they were designed for other markets. They just don't seem like they would have mass appeal. I feel like American normally prefer well muscular looking cars compared to the cute blobs that dominate the segment. But that's just my opinion. And you can also get a used car with more space, better build quality, more bells and whistle for the price of a new subcompact.

Scotty is right about everything else tho. It's a great zippy and spacious subcompact car that handles well. You will not have to worry about maintenance other than oil changes and filling the gas tank because it's a Honda.

I had the 2007 Honda Fit when it first came out. I love that car. I am 5ft 11in and I had lots of room in that thing. It was smaller than the 1992 Civic I had before but it had more room in the back seats and in the trunk. It was such a fun car to drive. The only downside is the car is tinny that hitting just one bad pothole could cause all sort of suspension problems and blown tires.

I worked in these vehicle for years teaching new drivers and loved everything about them. Ive also used them on closed circuits testing their driving dynamics and man, you can feel Honda's race heritage filter down to their absolute base production vehicles. Best value for money eco, fun, utility vehicle you can buy, period.

My OEM Honda fit battery lasted 150k miles until I replaced it. The battery was over 7 years old, and never once, not ONCE, left me stranded. I replaced it because it started getting corrosion much more than usual. I cannot believe how long the OEM battery in that 2010 fit lasted.

I have a fit and it's my all time favorite car. I actually lifted it and put 225s on it. Forest roads are no problem and 35mpg for roadtrips.

One of our two vehicles is an 09 Civic sedan. Serviced well since new, 217k on the odometer and still going strong. I plan to replace the suspension very soon but overall it's the best/least expensive car we've ever owned.

Sat in one at the RAI car exhibition in Amsterdam in 1999. The Jazz was there, still as a concept. I told my buddy i could see myself driving one, one day. In 2013 i bought my 2004 registered Jazz and still loving it. My next will be one of their hybrids.

The Fit is definitely one the most versatile, reliable and practical car every made.

Bought a 2007 Honda Fit Sport back in 2019 for a really good deal before the pandemic struck and prices skyrocketed. I've had zero issues with it and have traveled cross country twice and I didn't have a single problem. Great car! They have quite the cult following.

Thank You Scotty for your input on the Honda Fit. I have a 2018 Honda Fit in white I absolutely love it great on gas~lots of room and fun to drive.

The Best car to own right now! 2018 1.5L , No accidents, don’t even use the hand shifters, I just drive carefully & slowly & get great fuel economy!! We can’t control the price of gas!

I have two Honda Fits one is an 09' with 140k miles and the other is an 08' with 85k. So far they have been great little zippy cars with enough space to haul around. No real complaints so far. I've noticed that in the colder months (50ish F) on the initial start up, the starter will grind on the 09 almost as if the key is held down too long. Occasionally the 08 also does this too. I've read that the Denso starters are more likely the culprit of the grind.

Hey Scotty. My Honda Fit Sport 2013 has 300,324 miles and still running strong 💪.

I have a 2010 Fit and LOVE it. Especially with gas prices right now, it's a great car for pretty much anyone.

Just traded my ‘16 fit for a ‘17 fit MT last month. First manual car ever owned. It’s great and has been super easy to learn on.

Had my 2010 fit sport A/T for years! Love driving it in sport mode with paddles in the curves!

I've owned 2 Honda fits and driven 3. The two I owned were 2010 and now I have a 2016. I believe the fit has had 3 major generations. My 2010 fit within the 2nd gen and my 2016 is a 3rd gen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this car! TONS of SPACE in every iteration and great visibility. The 2nd Gen fits did have some issues and I would say unless your really trying to save money I would nab a gen 3. The primary issue with my 2010 was the AC unit. It wasn't broken but on long road trips after about 90 minutes the system would presumably freeze over and spit out non-cool air. If I stopped for a break to eat and went back on the road it was great. I looked it up back then and it was a pretty common issue for these cars and at the time I was roadtripping at lease once a month to see my folks. My 2016 has never had the issue and it seems like something honda intentionally fixed on Gen 3. I also had the entire instrument cluster on my 2010 fail on me. Luckily for me I had a good Honda auto shop at the time that could hook me up with a used cluster and I had a tag on my door to describe the odometer difference. The only reason I upgraded to a 2016 is because my 2010 was eventually stolen and found by the police stripped of a lot of parts. Going back to a Fit was an easy decision. It's way cheaper to maintain then a compact hybrid like a prius. 40mpg in best conditions and a normal car battery, easy decision. Only thing I wish I coulda found at the time was a 2017 Fit, which is when they added Carplay, but when I was searching for one back in 2018, Fits were really hard to come by. Everyone had caught on and was driving them into the ground. I'll likely move into an EV after this but if the Fit is my last ICE car, I think I picked well!

The Fit is LIT! Got 37 mpg on my last fill up.

Scotty you know so much I always listen to you before buying a set of wheels.

Bought an 08 Fit sport 5 spd for $300 best $300 car i could have ever asked for. Yeah it needed work but nothing a enthusiast couldn't handle. Had almost 200k miles on it before a deer took it out. Miss that car so much. Once my finances are better I'm buying a newer one.

Currently drive a Honda jazz 1.4 litre in the UK, with 5 speed manual shift. Get 55mph with E10 petrol. Used to get 60mph with E5. Only downside for me is that when turning left or right, my view is slightly hindered by the frame holding the small glass A panel. But, it's a great car for sensible drivers.

The bottom of the rear seats fold up, too. So you can put a flat screen or whatever in behind the front seats, and the seatbacks of the rear seats stay up, so you still have the separate cargo hatch area to put stuff in

We picked up the last year of the Fit. Plenty of room and get 41mpg with mixed driving.

Mine is still running like a champ at 150k+ miles. 👍🏻

Love is getting the Scotty Kilmer approval for my car! I do love my Fit Sport!

Thank you very much Scotty. It's always a pleasure, and very entertaining, watching your reviews.

Finally!...Scotty admits that the Fit is better than the Matrix! I keep shopping for a better budget hatch but these are actually difficult to beat. That driver must be mostly city driving cuz I get 37+ driving in Nor Cal hills.

The Sport trim also comes equipped with Paddle Shifters.

Nice to see Honda making quality vehicles. I bought my son a 2000 Acura CL, which we had to dump a year later because it was rusting (in Southern California) and was going to need massive repairs, even though it was made in Japan. Bought him a 2004 Toyota Camry, which runs like a champ, even though it was made in Kentucky. My '93 and my '99 Japanese built Lexus cars run great. No rust on either.

my first motorbike was a Honda, my first car was a Daihatsu... made in Japan... I agree with you that Japanese design and build vehicles very well...

I would amaze my friends when pulling up in my tiny little subcompact 2008 Honda Fit, opening the tailgate, and pulling out an 8-foot step ladder. It also comes with Honda's rear 'magic seats'.

As someone who hates CVTs, I must admit I was really positively surprised as I recently jumped in a Honda taxi with CVT. Here in Bangkok, where I live, most taxis are Toyota Corolla sedans with CVT. And when the taxi driver gives power, you hear the engine yelling like hell while the car is gaining speed. But recently, I had a 10-year-old Honda City taxi, a less-than-4.19-meter sedan, as they are popular here, with a CVT. You could hardly hear the engine. With my broken Thai language, I talked about the car with the driver: he told me that within 10 years driving it, he never had any issue with it. Of course, my preference goes for the Mazda2 sedan with a classical 6-speed automatic transmission, but if I had to buy a second hand car, then Honda, even with CVT, could gain my favor.

Your hate is well placed! I bought a CVT Jazz and it started shuddering after a week from the day I bought it. The issue was in the transmission and it is quite common in that model...long story short I sold it dirt cheap and vowed to not buy CVT cars ...specially used ones!

I had a 81_prelude with my mechanic friend did all of my own repairs simple car to repair. Next was a 92 Accord not so easy..its a good car but I dislike the plastic radiator and there's no engine oil cooler which I think helps extend the life of the engine.

We love our 2017 and getting 38.8 mpg is a big plus these days! Bought 5 mos.ago for 10k and 45000 miles!!

The Honda's used to be the same way when they are made in Ohio when the Japanese ran the plants but now they have Americans run the plants and the quality has gone down a little.

Japanese made is definitely the best to this day. My 2020 Civic Sport Sedan 6MT was built in Ontario Canada, & is far better quality than my friends 2018 Civic (same generation) which was built in Ohio. Japan is still tops though 👍🏻

Fantastic car. This has been one of the best purchases of my life. I've saved a ton on gas.

They are truely like mini SUVs with better gas mileage I love the long dash with slanted windshield it makes front feel so much roomier

Nothing bad to say about my '09 Fit Sport 5AT. Sadly, the 2020 model was the last for the Fit in the US. I even had a 2016 Sport while living abroad with the CVT. Functioned very well.

Unfortunately they discontinued the fit in the US.

Welp, looks like I know what my next car is. Thank you!

Have owned over 30 Hondas. Currently have a 2019 Odyssey and 2022 Acura RDX. Never had any trouble until recently. All warning lights would rotate through for brakes, transmission, cruise control, on and on. In the shop a few times and then a ABS speed sensor gave a fault to the computer. Replaced and problem solved. They have extended the warrantee for the fuel injectors for the van and Pilot I believe, also to 5 years. It throws the same warnings and a check engine fault.

Picked used 09 up a year ago, sport 5 speed… amazing mpg, fun 2 drive, runs like a top @ 100k, rides a little rough, but it’s a great car! Get u 1

I bought a 2015 Fit two months ago with 135k miles. I absolutely love it. Versatile cargo area, roomy back seats (for a small hatchback), 38mpg on the highway. The CVT makes the driving experience boring though.

I purchased a "storm silver" Honda Jazz 2009 mark 2 in the UK in 2015 as a stop gap car - I still have it today and only bills have been consumables & break callipers to date which is good for a 15 year old car. Great little "Tardis" of a car, when you put the back seats down.

after some research i got a '10 fit - 110k miles and manual trans about two years ago for 4600. went manual as they are little peppier and reliable . probably get 8 or 9 now - rides like new and 40 mpg sure helps there days , also folding electric bike fits in back with all seats up

The Honda Jazz here in the UK is the ONLY car I would recommend to anyone as a first car or if their budget is tight

I bought my 13 fit sport last year with 42k miles on it for $14,500 and love it. Scotty did a video on how bad the fits made in the last couple years were because of the "dream" something technology and cheaper parts. There's been all kinds of problems with them including stopping while on the freeway. If I were you I would buy an older honda fit. I think scotty did a video on good years for buying fits and save yourself the money buying an inferior new product.
