You guys don't have Daihatsu Sirions. I guess in Europe you do. In US not so much.

I so agree with this. I was about to pay cash for a slightly used RX350 or 450h, but needed my 17yr old teen daughter to drive the car also. A 2019 Honda Fit LX with only 4k miles became available from a relatiive and I reluctantly paid $13.5k for it in March of this year. The same year model sells for $20k now. I added all weathertek mats, rear hatch cover and my daughter loves it. Only problem: We now fight (jokingly of course) over who gets to drive it. Awesome car. I should mention i'm 6'2 and my other vehicle is a Lexus GX. I've had Audis (never again), VW's (same junk). The Fit is so fun to hop in and do errands or run around Mpls, where we live. Don't suffer from pride folks. Save your money. Buy smart, and dont buy more than what you really need.

It also uses a timing chain, no belt. They last a long time!

You selling it

I bought a new 2008 Fit 5 speed and I'm still driving it with approximately 322,000 miles. It needed a new clutch at 270,000 miles after all three of my daughters learned to drive in this car. I've hauled 3x5 ft sheets of Hardy concrete board and two mountain bikes in the spacious rear interior. I've brought home two deer with this little Honda. It still gets 40 mpg and I credit some of this longevity to superior design and some of it to consistent Castrol oil changes. This week I am paying my mechanic to replace the front lower control arms and anti-sway linkages. This car is a dream to drive and I will be sad to retire it when the time comes. This is my fourth consecutive Honda commuter car and the best of the four, although the 1979 cvcc still has a place in my heart.

I got a 2010 honda fit with standard transmission. Has 250000 and still running strong!!

I had a Honda Fit sport with a manual transmission. It had over 200k on the odometer when I sold it. Solid running lil beer can of a car that always started and fit anywhere it went. Only reason I sold it was because I moved states and couldn't bring it with me. If you ever get a chance to own one, I strongly recommend it!

My fellow, I also have a 2007 Honda fit. Got it for 2,700 3 years ago, it's up to about 180,000 now and still going strong. Just drove the thing down to LA from Oregon, and then from Oregon to North Carolina and no problems whatsoever. And, everything still works! Only car I"ve ever owned where everything still works lol. Favorite thing about this car is folding the seats down and going car camping, either along the highway or out in the woods. Hope you have many more years of trouble-free driving.

It's classed as the biggest small mini in the UK. I've had 45mph round town in my Honda. Its learning how to keep your foot of the gas and driving econically ESPECIALLY with fuel prices as they are. The back seats ALSO lift up so your able to put stuff on the floor with either ONE side or both seats lifted and clipped. Not a fast car, but economical, which is whats needed today. If your Honda starts to stall when pulling up and when you slow down, check that gas recirculation valve. Easy fix.

I've had my 2020 Fit for a couple years and I'm still happy about my purchase. It's the best car ever, I'm convinced. She handles city/highway driving just fine for me, a decent amount of newer features, and I'm not afraid that it's going to break down anytime soon.

I have a 2008 with 200k and even my mechanic was surprised about how smooth it runs and still has all original parts! This thing will last forever. I won't worry about gass anymore!

I love these little things. My mother has one and it's the perfect economy car. My only complaint is that it's really hard to shift into fifth gear - hard enough that she didn't even know it had five gears until I drove it.

Great car …waited for the 2015 to be available and now 8 years later still great. Got 44 MPG on a 43 mile trip.

I've owned 2 of them. A 2nd gen w/auto trans that I traded for a pickup & a first gen w/MT that I sold after moving & giving up my commute. Both were awesome but the manual was more fun to drive & the engine in the older one was easier to access. I'd definitely buy another. Great gas mileage. More quick than fast but fast enough. You can turn it around in a parking space. Tons of room inside. Easy & cheap to maintain. I'm surprised Scotty didn't demo the magic seat.

My dad bought an 08 Honda Fit brand new. Going strong with over 330K miles.

I've owned my '08 Fit for at least a decade and the largest mechanical repair I've had to do was replace a clutch, prematurely, at ~50k mi because I was goofing around on a snowy day and broke it. It is literally the best daily driver car I can imagine.

I had one of these. They were sold with the Honda City moniker in compact sedan form in India. Had lots of fun with the 100-PS V-tec engine at my disposal

Owned a Fit/Jazz when I lived in the UK. Bought it new in 2004. Was a manual shift 5 speed with 1.2 liter engine. When it was just out of warranty the gearbox started whining. The dealer I bought from and who had always carried out the servicing said I'd have to pay for the repair. Undeterred I contacted Honda UK. They were very concerned that a gearbox on one of their cars could fail at 90,000 miles. They called me back the same afternoon, told me to take my car back to the dealer at my convenience. The gearbox was replaced free of charge. Absolutely fantastic customer service from Honda UK. Owned that car for several years after that and it could easily accommodate our family of four with room to spare! My son has a 2007 Yaris sedan, which is very reliable and a similar footprint, but the Fit is so much more refined and feels like a much bigger car!

Only issue they had was the auto transmission, Honda had updated the fluid at one point so if you were running the original version, you either had to do a flush at 60k miles or a drain and fill every 30k miles. Fairly easy to work on, though the spark plugs can be a pain to get to

I have a 2013 Fit. It’s a fantastic car. It’s roomy, has a lot of pep for a 1.5 engine, and it’s great on gas too. Whenever people make fun of it’s size, etc. I shut them up with, yeah, but it’s paid for! Works every time! 😜

Hi Scotty I have a 2019 fit it runs very good I am very happy with it , the ride has been improved

My 2013 fit was definitely a great buy. Does everything that I need with a load of space. As a 6' guy I can lay down flat in the back for camping. Just a lot of windows to black out though.

Scotty, you are by far the best car reviewer on the internet. I trust your judgement of all the cars. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your honest reviews. After having seen this I am strongly considering getting the Honda Fit, though I've been eyeing the CR-V and HR-V - do you have thoughts about those?

Was looking at these used lately and I’m so glad I found this video !

I had a 2008 Honda Jazz 1.5A, yes it's exactly the same as this Fit. It's the most favourite car I ever had. I'm thinking of getting 1 back.

My first new car was/is a 2020 Honda Fit. Couldn’t love it more.

I absolutely love my '12 GE8 Does everything. I'm 6'4" and can sleep in it no issues. Awesome in snow and fun to play around on the back roads.

Man, I've been watching your videos for years and I love your stuff but this one was by far the funniest for me! I just bought a fit and I'm really enjoying it. Super fun to drive. Excellent gas mileage but Scotty are you sauced up in this video? 😂😂😂

In the UK this car is called the Honda Jazz. They are a great spacious car that is a Honda, so it's solid and will last a long time. Duh.

Totally agree! My beautiful blue 2010 Fit Sport has run happily with just routine maintenance and a mirror replacement from clipping a traffic barrel for 13 years. Sips gas, parks so easily and is such a nimble little car. The cargo space is amazing: it's bigger inside than outside. The seats are not great for a very long ride. I have added a thin memory foam cushion to the driver's seat after all these years, and my arthritic hip is grateful for the extra plushness.

I've had mine since new, 2010 Base. 138,000 miles. It's never needed anything other than a battery, front brakes, tires. Still the original clutch and rear drum brakes. The most reliable car I have ever owned.

I just bought a '15 Fit 6MT from the dealer a few months ago. Got an OK deal on it, I love it.

I’ve had two Fits, or Jazz as they’re called over here in Sweden. Currently owning a 2013 Jazz Si model, I love it. Good to see you praising them! Keep it up Scotty!

I'm living in Japan, the fit is everywhere! I've driven mine for 2 years, I needed to change a driver's side mirror because I knocked it backwards, and changed the oil. Most of my traffic has been rough stop and go. All around the fit is a pretty great beater!

I love Honda Jazz/Fit, the rear seat folding system is amazing

ive had my honda fit since 2015 and its the first gen i love it and has been such a great first car

Scotty, great video. You missed one of the coolest features in our Fit's, "Magic Seats". They are the back seat bottoms which flip up and we can stack 10 bags of mulch on the floor. Personally I love my Fit but my back hates the seats. Short drives are good long drives for taller people very uncomfortable. Not to mention angled headrest on Fit and several other cars are painful in the neck. Keep up the great work, I'm subscribed.

I have a 2018 Honda fit sport. First new car I ever bought. I will never regret this car. Amazing gas mileage and versatility for what it is. Highly recommend.

The 2021 crosstar is fenomenal, even if I was a millionaire, i wouldn't drive anything else.

My stepdad bought a 2009 I believe from my coworker sometime around 2014. My sister still drives it today. Over 200k miles, just basic oil changes mostly. One of the coils failed about 2 years back. That's about the only problem. While looking for a new car to buy my stepdad just ended up buying a used 2016 Fit with 30k miles. They are great, reliable cars and have decent cargo and interior room. They are gutless going up a hill but around town they feel pretty zippy and have great handling.

Finally a video about this! I have a 2011 honda city, the sedan version of fit in Malaysia. I can see that we have the same engine but the EGR valve is different. Funnily enough, the only real fix I need after 10 years of driving it as the first owner is, the magnetic clutch. The silver lining is that, i got it fixed with 3rd party clutch and labor inclusive of replacing ths gas for about USD50. Been driving for a few years since!

Just sold my 2007 Honda Fit Sport for an Honda Accord Coupe v6 2010! I don’t regret my purchase after all, but, the Fit was really a great car! Comfortable, really great gas mileage, feels luxurious for what you pay for (for a first car especially) this car is what got me into the car community. I wasn’t modding it, or tuning it but I was clinically taking care of this jewel. To be honest with some rear window tint and a Sport Rack, it was a pleasant car to watch. I was maintaining it religiously, and the car was running like a dream after 200 000 miles!

Bought my 2009 fit sport for 4,100 back in August 2018 to use as my commuter car until I graduated. It’s now December of 2021 and I am still in love with it. Mileage is phenomenal and saved me a ton going an hour back and forth everyday. Every repair I’ve made has been done myself and none have been more than a couple hundred dollars for parts. It’s got almost 250,000 on it now and shows no signs of stopping. If you can find on, the most I’d say is check the underside frame where it’s been enforced for the jacking up. We’re dealing with some rusting but, fortunately the car is so small that is can take it’s own weight without damage.

Love the review man and also some advice too!!

An underrated car from an underrated manufacturer. First generation fit/jazz still goes strong and command high resale in the UK

I really love my Honda Fit, I live in Brazil and roads and running conditions are really bad, but my 09 1.4 honda fit has over 160K milles and it runs and shifts absolutely perfect, just changing the oil every 3k milles and the transmission fluid every 30K milles.

I have a 2010 Honda Fit. When I got it 3 years ago it only had 55,545 miles on it, and now just 73, 309 miles. Had to change out O2 sensors, battery, and filters. Love that car 🚙. Only had 1 owner a school teacher in Tyler, TX. Paid $6,300 for it.

The Fit is marketed as the Honda Jazz over in the UK, and it's one of the most popular cars of its class. An amazing little car that feels like Doctor Who's Tardis (small physical dimensions but tons of space inside).

A buddy of mine has one and absolutely loves it. He even put a whole wheelbarrow in there.
