Do you regret your purchase?

Hey all. I'm looking to get a new yellow Fit MT EX in the next 6 months or so. I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews on this forum while lurking... And I've been trying to keep up with how people are liking their new fits.

I know the people who are having problems will definitely voice their opinions. Just curious if you regret your purchase!

I doubt that you'll find too many people regretting their purchase at this point in the process. Anyone with a '15 is basking in the glow of being an early adopter and is still believing the dealer when they say that they will correct any problems.

I'm not sure that's it as much as it still being clearly the best car for the price currently available in a very thin segment-- subcompact hatchbacks. Compared to a Kia Rio or a Toyota Yaris...it's great.

Warranty issues are warranty issues. I owned one of the infamous 2012 Focus models, so as long as my transmission doesn't shred itself from the inside 3 separate times, I'm ahead.

I have been super picky about everything on mine trying to find any flaw or defect that stands out. Only thing that's kind of meh is the flooring material. Floor mats fix that. Other than that it's flawless so far. It's a great economy hatchback car and I feel for value and versus it's comparables it is at the top of it's class. Plus I'm 6 foot 4 and I just feel comfortable in it. Lx that is.

Just picked ours up yesterday but I've been over it pretty carefully twice now and other than 1 small paint chip on the hood I haven't found anything I don't like it. So no, we don't regret it at all, we're extremely pleased!

No regrets. So far, better than my '09 or '10 Fits. NOTHING is wrong. Not a scratch on the paint even.

We have been Accord folks since 1999. Bought our 1st Fit last month upon recommendations from a friend. A 2015 Agean Blue cutie & it holds so much cargo! Great for camping

Should one be careful about parking up to high curbs? The one we have has low fenders & don't wanna crash into them.

That said, I'm a happy camper!

I LOVE mine! I'm not a nitpicker. was driving a 2000 Xterra that was pretty much at the end of its life, so of course, this is an improvement. I am finding it fun to drive, comfortable, economical, it looks cool, it's roomy. No regret whatsoever.

I regretted trading my '07 Accord for the '13 Accord. I do not regret trading the '13 Accord for the '15 Fit. Not one, single bit. Love this little car. I look forward to driving, and it's fun to drive.

On a sad note, I did get my first door ding. I think what made it especially cringe worthy is that I saw it happen and couldn't stop it. I did yell out, "What the #$%! Watch what you're doing!" I was so upset. I also got their insurance details, because they did leave a dent that will need to get fixed. Jerks. This is why we can't have nice things.

That sucks! Sorry to hear about your dent. Follow through and make them pay for their carelessness. You will need a police report for damage to private property or their insurance company may blow you off. Don't ask me how I know. If you can't provide an official report they may say it never happened.

Absolutely, positively, no regrets. The gas mileage alone has been reason enough to love this thing.
