Value
Pros: Great room, fun to drive, high ceilings, good handling
Cons: GAS GUZZLER!!!
I have 3000 miles, and I'm getting 18mpg in the city and 25 on the hwy.
Avoid this junk, the H shines no more!!!
Should have bought a suv and gotten better MPG.
Paid MSRP, destination, dealer doc $600, taxes, registration:
all in all came out to $19k.
No bargain here!!!!!!

132 out of 150 people found this review helpful
Pros:looks good, small but spaciousCons:transmission issues, very low mpg
We bought this car about two weeks ago. The transmission is really problematic. the acceleration is horrible. it feels like the car is stuck when you just start driving and when you push the gas peddle even slightly, the engine starts screaming. We also checked the mpg and we only got 22 (much ...

by Daniel Whittman from st louis, MO (4/27/06)
94 out of 126 people found this review helpful
Pros:gas mileage, handlingCons:hard to start at times, ride is rough, bad in wind
I thought I would like this car, since it was a Honda, but I am pretty disappointed with it. It does not seem to have the Honda quality "feel" that i am used to. I am hoping this car car can go 200,000 miles, but right now, I am not so sure that it will ...

248 out of 303 people found this review helpful
Pros:decent handling, good cargo capacity for small carCons:fuel economy not as good as advertised, auto transmission problems
As a 3 time Honda owner I was looking forward to this purchase, but unfortunately, so far I have been very disappointed. I have nearly 1000 miles so far on this car and have only been averaging 26 mpg doing 55 mph mostly on the highway (85% highway driving). I have also noted the automatic ...

136 out of 148 people found this review helpful
Pros:good gas mileage. good spaceCons:total auto transmission failure! Rattles
I cannot believe the decline in Honda quality! After only 1000 miles, the auto transmission needs to be replaced!!! Also, many rattles had developed in the short time that we have owned the cars. I really cannot recommend this car at this time. ...

113 out of 120 people found this review helpful
Pros:Sexy looks, good comfort, versatile storage arrangementsCons:Where's the great gas mileage????
The looks of the car attracted me to it from the get go. It looks so cool! I'm six foot one and the car is very comfortable for me. Love the way you can arrange the seats for various packing requirements. The ride is stiff and noisy. You can really feel the road and hear it too. Really ...

Lousy mileage
by RAB from Bedford, NH (8/03/06)
107 out of 110 people found this review helpful
Pros:Fun to driveCons:Getting really crappy mileage. One tank only got 21.5 withe mostly suburban type driving
Love driving it. Had it back to dealer because of low mileage. They found nothing wrong. Even when doing highway driving (on cruise control, set at 65) I still only got 25.7 mpg. I don't do jack-rabbit starts or drive like an idiot either. Maybe I just got a lemon. Thinking of trading it in, ...

Pros:Nice "Commuter" CarCons:Transmission Issues, Hard Acceleration
I purchased the car on a Saturday and it was in the shop by Tuesday evening with a leak in the transmission (with only 82 miles on the car). Honda had to pull the transmission and replace the seals. Acceleration is a bit rough at low speeds especially in bumper to bumper traffic. ...

Beautiful looking car, catches people's eye a lot, fuel economy is great safety features very comforting, however driving sometimes rough and noisey, car sways even at low wind, almost so unstable on hwy driving it makes you questions safety. had this weird vibrating sound and feeling that is ...

by stab a lot from Japan (4/30/06)
69 out of 92 people found this review helpful
Pros:Good cargo spaces, easy to parkCons:not so hot mileage, low performance, noisy on highways
I drove Honda Fit for about 12 months and it is really unique automobile. I really like the cargo spaces and comfort, but the gas mileage was not impressive at all.
Also when i drive on highways, i can barely hear the music because of the noise.
This car is little bit more expensive ...

Great Fit For The Money !
by MFOSTERI from San Diego, CA (5/12/06)
57 out of 67 people found this review helpful
Pros:acceleration, fuel economy, VERY roomy inside cabin, automatic shifts wellCons:slight cheap feeling inside cab, Air volume from fan isn't enough,Fuel economy isnt as promised
The car comes with a ton of stuff. ABS, Front & Side Airbags/Curtains. While it doesn't get the milage stated, it does get good fuel economy. While not fast, only 110hp, the Automatic is peppy and accelerates rather quickly. I bought the standard model without Cruise Control, which I miss, but ...

Pros:Looks, roomy, cargo spaceCons:mpg
Well so far so good. It's scary reading the reviews about transmission problems, but I'm on my second tank of gas and so far so good. I'm not using the pedals as they are a waste of time. I've had no problems so far but I'm only getting 28 miles per gallon. Maybe after another ...
