It just won't stop

Bought my 09 sport in 2018. Have been using it for gig work and long road trips.

I've had 0 non-routine maintenance issues. At this point I'm paranoid fully expecting something to go wrong when I'm driving through the mountains on a 5+hour drive. It just hums along though. I use the paddle shifter to save the breaks. The transmission still runs smoothly.

It's still my DD and I'm able to get a 'better' car....but man I just don't see that happening short of a life change like having a kid. And even then there's no way I can see myself selling it.

I've had cars before that towards the end you have to weigh the pros/cons of doing repairs on it. But with this Fit...it doesn't even give you that dilemma. Doesn't even give you an out if you want another car.

haha, I'm of the similar mindset. As a "do it all" car, I can't find enough faults in it to replace it with something more costly. I am glad it's been a good experience for you.

More power would have been cool. Like if they gave it the same engine as the Civic these would be even more fun, but 100ish hp is enough to get up to speed limits!

My sentiments, exactly. I "want" something different, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there as versatile/practical/dependable.
My Fit fits my needs because so much stuff fits in my Fit.
