The cupholder next to the steering wheel. This little design feature says everything about the Honda Fit. You can tell that this little car was created by a group of designers, engineers and marketing pros who understood their goal. From the styling, to the engine, to the transmission, to the chassis, to the suspension, to the cabin space, to the storage space, to the A/C controls, to the steering wheel cupholder. Everything works and makes sense. This is a "No B.S." car that is possibly the greatest compact car ever built.

I think my gen 2 Fit is the best engineered car I’ve ever owned. I think it’s harder to do a cost effective compact car than a super car. Putting the gas tank under the front seat has big benefits for load space. I like Honda’s emphasis on handling, even for utilitarian vehicles like this one. The engine is remarkably responsive and flexible. Overall it’s a real pleasure to drive. I find myself wishing for a higher gear at high speeds, but I tell myself it’s a Honda, I likes to rev.

An amazing automobile. Went to Home Depot with my son’s car to pick up a washer and a dryer. When two of the staff rolled out the merchandise and asked which is my car I simply replied ‘ it’s the black one’, just so happened I was parked next to a black SUV. When they erroneously placed the items by the hatch of the Suburban I casually strolled over to the Fit raising the hatch door, ‘ sorry gentlemen, it’s the other black one’. They both looked at each, smiled and politely burst into laughter. ‘ I don’t think it’s going to work, Sir’, ‘Well, why don’t we give it a shot’ I uttered with utmost confidence. They weren’t laughing or smiling few minutes later with the cargo loaded and the hatch fully closed without any assist from bungee cords or rope. They were floored into the very same spot where they loaded the Fit as I was pulling away after of course tipping them and waved back with a smile and a chuckle.

My brother bought a Honda Fit a year ago as his daily and after seeing the way it drives I became interested in these cars. I love the hatch style, the interior, the exterior, and the way it handles. As an 8th gen Civic Owner it made me feel right at home and both of those cars remind me why I love Honda so much ^_^

The Fit really is amazing. Drove a 3rd gen for 3ish years and its handling was amazing. The steering is tight and direct and it'll go exactly where you tell it to. The biggest weakness in terms of handling comes when there's a large crosswind, in icy conditions it means you'll have to be doing a lot of counter-steering if you catch a gust of wind. However that tight handling means I never once ditched the thing even in the worst winter storms. Its really a shame Honda never made an entry into the World Rally Championship with one of these, because the base platform is so amazing. Someday I'll buy a manual fit and turn it into a rally car, but that might be tough because most people who bought them want to hang onto them.

Wouldn't be a bad investment to try to make a rally car out of one. In the video they mentioned a Honda Fit won the 2WD class in the 2012 Australian Rally Championship with a GE8 model Fit. Also with a K24 swap these cars can run 0-60 in less than 6 seconds on the naturally aspirated motor around 220HP. That's really impressive considering the Type R Civic gets there in just under 5 seconds with a turbocharged motor and LSD. These cars make excellent track cars for a budget, feels like the EG Civic platform since these car bodies are readily available and more affordable than some of the 90s Civic chassis which are disappearing into junkyards.

I love my second gen. It's great for downtown driving and winding country roads, and is so easy to load/unload a ton of stuff, or hauling four adults. Four adults def slows it down, but it's comfortable enough with four doors. It is a definitely a tin can of a car, but I have never loved a car before, and the FIT I love.

Sold my 2007 fit sport last year due to a wiring harness issue under the dash and some rust on the floors. Still loved every second of owning it, so easy and fun to drive at its limit.

For the last 5 years my wife has had a Fit and this car has slowly worked its way into my heart. I have been through many cars in 10 years including a Del Sol SiR, MX5 NB RS and a DC2R. Tomorrow I pick up my GD3 sport and I'm just as excited for it as any of the other cars I've purchased before.

I love my 2013 Fit - wish I had gone with the manual but my younger sisters were still learning to drive and I was splitting the car with my family at the time living in a big city just out of college. 9 years later and it's just about to hit 100,000 km and still going strong with no major issues.

Still have mine 8 yrs on as the second owner and its a first gen GD1. We absolutely love this car! Really is the best car ever made!

Had a 2003: 1.5, manual. Excellent car, loved it very much. Was in the family for the first 150,000 km, sold it to a friend and miss it to this day, 5 years after selling it. It was an amazing thing: impeccably designed, incredibly reliable, fun despite all of its shortcomings, and did everything I asked of it. Cruising around town obviously no dramas, but huge road trips it also swallowed up. Even towed a trailer with a couple of motorbikes in it on the highway for hours at a time and didn't ever complain one bit.

I had a 2010 and traded up to a 2016. Love them both. Such fun to drive and so economical and practical.

I loved driving my friends first gen fit. That little vtec engine and light weight made it so fun.

Thank you for giving me a video to use during arguments with my friends.

4 months in to a 2010 5MT 40k miles, I love it, I went from a g35 to this and I don't regret it at all, the tiny frame is perfect for these chicago streets, I weave in and out of traffic seamlessly & that 30mpg lol

Yes, the Fit is indeed a great vehicle! Today I drove 120 HWY miles in my 2019 Fit with the Eco mode on and I averaged 48.1 MPG.

I drive a jazz in Singapore and regularly average 56 mpg without a sweat. Have seen it go to 60 mpg too often. Just so reliable and non intrusive. For me personally, the definition of luxury is reliability. And this little car is hands down the best. Honda makes the best small cars.

@@MrJustforkicks that’s amazing! My wife owns a FIT as well and we just bought our third to keep on stand by!

I had a 2010 sport (no manual unfortunately) and it was a brilliant car to drive in the hills of Central Virginia. Ridiculously spacious inside as well, and 10 cup holders, including the brilliant ones in front of the AC vents.

I got a 2016 Fit EX as my first car that I personally paid for and damn I loved that thing. Almost two years after I got it, it was totaled after hitting a deer straight on. I was able to find a 2018 Fit EX-L with nav with less miles than my original 16 had when I got it. Still runs like a dream. I love these cars. I can fit into tiny parking spots in cities, but also go down montana hills at whatever speed and turn with ease.

I have a 2009 second generation and I love it it's really the best car I have ever had it's great on gas doesn't burn oil 124,000 Miles it's really a great car Thanks Honda Fit

My wife has an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport w 200k miles. We love it. We use it a lot, including her using it for grub hub deliveries a lot of the time. It's paid for itself just doing GrubHub in the last two years. And it's barely needed anything but maintenance. Even with All the stop and go. Even the clutch is original

Hell yeah. I got 2007 with 268k

Built a GD3 with only $200. It's been my favorite, most reliable, and memorable car in my life

Thank you so much for this. Gotta love some validation for purchase decisions lol

I had one for several years. So cute and the quality was incredible. Loved that car.

I’ve owned two Fits. 2009 and 2013. I’ve driven cars in between some luxury and race worthy between my ownerships, like a Mustang, Corvette, Mailibu, Jeep (Compass and Wrangler), Ultimata, Golf GTIs, and minor encounters of Kias and Cadillac (idk the specific models); but everytime I’ve driven anything other than a Fit, I end up missing the Fit in anyway shape or form. In terms of practicality and everyday use it’s the most fun to drive. The Fits I’ve driven have incredible handling and fun residential speeding. It legit makes driving around suburbs feel like a Mario Kart track. There’s something fun and special about that. It takes something mundane into excitement. Other cars really lack that. Either it’s too luxury to be fun or too quick to enjoy residential driving. The only car that’s fun, besides the Fit, is the Golf. Since it has some similar qualities when driving, but the engineering is so overthought and not straightforward and takes time to adjust. BUT REALLY the Fit is the best because it feels like a go kart and is more affordable/luxurious than it’s counterparts. It’s the perfect fit between practical, luxury, and speed. I’d recommend to anyone

This is a really well made video!! Lol I'm not super big into cars but I've always loved driving my ge8 like a go-cart. Now i have a video with proof that my dream of converting it to a rally car eventually isn't a completely dumb idea

🇨🇦2007 Sport, 210,000 km. Just a totally fun car to drive around town, and it cruises nicely on the highway. Love my paddle shifters!

Always loved the Fit, it’s kinda like the VW Polo the US never got. I’d like to see a head to head vs a Fiesta ST.

i’ve always loved the second generation Fit and it truly took off here in Singapore. It’s a clear winner in just about every important aspect and becoz we can’t hold on to our cars unless we pay $$,$$$ for a license for the next ten years, it’s got the best resale value. My wife and me could finally afford the last G3 model in production and happily made our way to the dealers in 2020 which also happened to be the start of covid 19, thereby forcing the license to be at an all time low. I drove out in our spanking new G3 Fit with pride and loving every moment today!!

Great watch, I love the Fit and I wish we were still getting them in North America. We have a 2013 Sport in the driveway and I love it to death. Would've been a perfect car with a tad more oomph but at least the thing is dead reliable and problem free at 9 years of age. Not to mention its sharp handling and overall engaging driving dynamics.

When i got my license with 18 i could use our shop car, a first gen Jazz on the weekends. Had a lot of fun with that little shitbox, great handling, a lively rear axle to help turn and a pretty decent gearbox. Loved that thing :D

Love my 2012 Honda Fit! I've tried it out at Solo events and I can't wait to track mine someday

My 2017 EX-L is my dream car, and I've owned many sporty and higher end cars. Those expenses came to a halt. "Enough" power, refined CVT, 40 mpg, tons of room, fits like a glove, all the amenities, very reliable and feels incredible at both high and low speed or just parallel parking. Progress sway bar and the best tires I could find absolutely rip the corners, and the steering feel is like from an S2000 or civic si. Hard to describe why it feels so "right" and convenient, because it's lots of little things that come together that make it so satisfying for the price.

YES! YES! YES! ITS BACK!

this just makes me love my fit so much more, my first self bought car. 6spd mt a joy to redline to this day.

Perfect video. I learnt to drive in my mums 1st Gen Jazz, absolutely loved it, eventually ended up buying it off her and it's a weapon in the hills and at the local gravel roads. Mines completely unmodified and honestly a bit neglected, but it's still so smooth to drive and incredibly reliable. 11/10 car

I bought a last-of-the-line '20 GK 6MT just before the pandemic, great car, I only regret having missed the manual/sunroof combo by a model year.

Fantastic Vid, thank you! :-) As a Honda Jazz/Fit owner I couldnt agree more. It is an awesome little car, with a very roomy interior, and a very nicely balanced chassie. I'm running with the na 1.5L 130HP engine, and that is actually enough to make the car very fun to drive, and the old school VTEC is just a cherry on top with a high reving engine. Only "performance" upgrade that I have done, is a set of sticky Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 R tires on a set of 16"x7 inch Rota Slipstreams, and the Jazz corners like a racecar :-)

This is going to make finding a nice vtis even harder

I bought my GE8 almost a year ago and the car has performed wonderfully, actually got into an accident with the car a couple months ago. The other 2 cars involved in the accident were damaged more than my car (nothing but a small scratch on mine) love this car. This video was what pushed me to get it (besides my gf)

I had a Honda Fit with a manual transmission growing up in my late high school years which my father got in 2008, and gave to me in 2015. I would regularly go driving for hours in it with friends, especially when Pokémon GO rolled around-we would do regular “Pokémon GO Friday” days in my little blue car. The folks I still roll with today still have amazing memories with me being in that car. Today, I now have a Corvette Grand Sport, but there are many days where I feel like I still miss my Fit a lot-accessibility, design, and reliability-some of which I feel my Corvette had. Friends still howl with me on many memories that we had made in my little blue car. This is a fantastic video. The Fit is truly a masterpiece of compact car history.

love my 2013 5spd. It really feels like an older built simple and reliable civic. Its been a great car.

Damn, a well information video about 3 generation of this small but nimble hatchback. It really makes me miss mine which sadly got into an intersection accident by a careless teen driver... That was about 9 months ago. 2015 Honda fit, Silver, 6MT. Aftermarket Rims/Tires, HPS Short air intake and a HKS Hi-Silent exhaust. Make it a blast to drive and I miss it everyday.

Feels so great to see these videos again

I have a 2016 Honda Fit bought for the wife. Amazing build quality. I enjoy driving it, it is zippy and super cheap on gas. Has a lot more room than it looks.

I think it's also important to mention the issues we had here in Canada/cold weather with the 3rd gen Honda Fit (2015+) where the GDI "Earth Dreams" engine would have oil dilution issues(prevalent in the Turbo model engines; CRV / SI). Otherwise a fantastic car without a doubt

Have a Honda fit 2016 EX, not in Canada, I live in PNW.. How can you tell if the fit is having an oil dilution issues?

I LOVE my 2008 Honda Fit sport. Great leg-room front and rear. Genius interior design for attaining cargo space. This thing can fit in any parking space. BUT... they fucked-up with being able to easily replace head-lamp bulbs(in the early models, so I'm stuck with that), but they fixed it in later models.

The production quality on this video is fantastic. I was surprised to see you don't already have 2M+ subscribers.

I have owned my 2008 ge8 fit RS for about a week now and I'm genuinely hooked. This car offers so so much value and fun for the money it would be damn near impossible to beat in its market.

Great video, I drive a GE8 Sport 5MT and its a great drive indeed, and with insane space to booth (fun fact the GE8 in at least the US spec has 10 cupholders for 5 occupants) some points to mention though: ALL generations of Fit have torsion beams (even the newest one, its how they get the floor so low+ cost effective for subcompact cars) the USDM GD and GE have different front and rear ends vs JDM because of a Canadian 5mph bumper law sticking until 2009. this means the USDM cars of those two gens are much longer and cannot be easily converted to JDM without much effort there exists a version of the GE8 in Japan with a 6 speed manual+hybrid 1.5l taken right from the CRZ (also built on fit bones) but also 200 lbs lighter than a regular CRZ. it is the GE8 Mugen RS hybrid the 4th gen Fit/jazz is no longer offered with a manual, but to alleviate it, honda offers the city hatchback in place of the fit in certain ASEAN markets, with a carryover L15B from the GK, and a 6 speed manual option honda sold and still sells Fits with AWD albeit cvt only

too bad city hatchback are too soft and fat compared to fit/jazz.

thought of getting this as a second car, but seeing as the insurance prices came down for it, i think it's gonna make a fun first car!

I got a GD3 Fit and I loved the handling but felt it had a lill too much flex in the front end. Got a strut tower brace put in and it cut out a bit of that. Now it feels like surgical precision steering and I love it!

I just got a 2013 model two weeks ago and I love how stable and peppy it is. Also, the cargo space is fantastic!

I remember the first time the Honda Fit (Jazz here in europe) hit the market. It was a huge success and was bought by the masses. Now there have been many cars which initially had big sales numbers but after 20+ years or so I barely seen them on the road anymore, either because of unreliability, high maintenance costs, rust, etc. The Fit is a completely different story though. I still see many 1st gen Fits driving around all the time, and despite their age they are extremely reliable and people are super happy with them. It just goes to show how well Honda can build cars, and how underrated this little car is

I love my 2007 Honda Fit Sport model. My dad got it custom from Japan as a manual transmission. I learned to drive on it. Brought it to college with me. Love how my entire dorm can fit in the back. I'll cry on the day it dies.

This video convinced me to buy a Fit. I for a 2009 GE8 and I am in love with it. Thank you sir.

@@Kennewickgeology I would have gotten one of those years but this one was too good of a deal and came with Advans 😎

When I was younger, I really wanted one. All my friends were like "get a sports car etc" but at the time, my main goal was to save money to buy a brand new car. Course, life didn't turn out that way, but the Fit is still one of the cars I would buy if I could find one at a decent price

I bought one for 1.5k in good shape as a winter beater, and was really amazed at what it had to show. Been beating on it daily for 4 years and it still going strong and not burning any oil. Only did regular break/oil changes and other than that didn't cost me a penny. Once you put real tires on it it grips like crazy in tight curvy and hilly backroads!

I love my 2013 Fit. I love how it handles.

Love my Fit, but that cup holder in front of the vent on the drivers side is BRILLIANT! Keeps my drinks cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Unfortunately, Honda discontinued the GK5. They're no longer sold in the US.
