What vehicle did your Fit replace?
New 2016 FIT LX replaced a 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited.
The jeep was really fun to drive, but way too many problems with that car. Techonology was outdated, so the drives were somewhat lacking. Couldn't even play my own music since the car didn't have an aux, and I didn't wanna go through the hassle of upgrading it in any way.
The fit serves me in every way possible, loving the MPG, size, utility, and its features! Backup camera is cool, and mainly Im just happy i can play my music via bluetooth lol

Came from a 2011 WRX, which I loved. I was iffy on the fit, I kinda don't like the stock form of the vehicle.
But its growing on me, especially after the windows were tinted, and Im considering the Mugen lip kit. I absolutely love the beast gas mileage, and wow car payments are so affordable.
I did get the CVT, which I love. I was always a manual guy, thought I would never deviate. But with my new job im constantly on the road, and thank got I went CVT. I mean I got used to driving with manual in high traffic. I dont know where you guys are from but Seattle I5 can get pretty bad stop and go.
Now I feel alot more comfortable. I hope you guys are enjoying your Fit as much as me.

A 1997 Vw golf 5 speed. Loved the car to death as i come from a big VW background. Has over 200k miles and wanted to reach 300k, and i'm confident it could. However, i started a new career and wanted something a little newer, as i already had another 20 year old VW.
Always wanted a honda project car, but the theft of hondas around here is ridiculous. Bought the fit to keep as a daily and maybe have a little fun with. I enjoy that there isnt a large aftermarket for it, which will force me to keep it tame with modifications.

LOVE having a small car again!
Over the years, my co-workers found that I am incapable of keeping a car for more than 2 years. Well, they've been right for some time, but I hope that this Fit changes that because I REALLY like this car. This is my first Honda, let alone first Fit.
I bought this Fit to replace a 2013 Ford F150 4x2 STX. The Ford was awesome. I had the Coyote 5.0 V8, Roush catback exhaust, aftermarket wheels and tires. The truck was VERY fun to own, but it was a pain to live with. Parking was a nightmare. Blind spots were a nightmare. Gas mileage was a nightmare. The truck was simple more than what I needed.

A 2004 Toyota Tacoma base 2WD pick up. Mileage wise, it was OK...about 20mpg around town. If I hadn't had to replace the rack and pinion steering system 3 times in 3 years, I'd have probably kept it...Even the guys at the Toyota dealers were embarrassed, put in the last one without charging me any labor. That is ONE thing I miss...I ride a long wheel based recumbent bike (different forum!), and there is no WAY I can get thing to fit into my...Fit!
Thanks to a 18 wheeler drifting into my lane on the hwy my 05 Ford Focus was totaled. Walked over to my local Honda Dealer (Galpin Honda) and came home with a 2016 LX model. It's a Lease but will most likely keep it. Only minor mods at this time.
I don't have a Fit yet as I'm waiting to order a 2018 Sport but I just sold my 2000 Honda Civic Si and that's what the Fit will be replacing. I miss it but it was starting to need too much work and I decided to sell it while I could still get something for it. I still have my 2015 Civic Si though as well as a modified 2010 Mazda MX-5.
My new 2017 EX-L NAVI replaced my 2007 Hyundai Elantra GLS earlier this month.
While the Elantra was still in good condition from a body/frame point of view, it needed about 4000 CAD of known work (suspension, tie rods, new summer tires, new winter tires, new brakes, timing belt and a few others I can remember of the top of my head). So I made the choice to replace it rather than spend the money and be faced with further repairs in 6 months.
Do, not, regret. I love this little car.

Had a '99 2nd-hand Protege for 10 years, low miles. It was pretty good to me, and the only things that really peeved me were 1) it was a sedan, 2) it seemed a little big for my typical use.
It got wrecked, so I used bf's '00 Grand Vitara for a few years; small-yet-roomy and served us well, but not fun or enjoyable.
When it was a good time to change the car, I zeroed in on hatchbacks/small wagons and thought 3rd gen Mazda3 hb was it. But test driving it made me second guess; and the long nose and pre-'17 chrome stuff in front bother me.
I'd also been following and adoring the GK for awhile. Love the mini spaceship/sportvan form and roominess, and the looks! I don't adore GD's and GE's looks.
GK seemed a more appropriate, economical, and less-hassle choice over another contender that I still lust for - Golf Sportwagen.
Ya it has its weaknesses, but I love the Fit so far.

2017 LX CVT replaced a 2004 Dodge Neon that was in dire need of a way too expensive overhaul (front suspension was shot, leaking water pump, dead AC, and leaked oil like a BP rig). 200 miles in and extremely happy with the decision not to repair the neon.

It was nice but atrocious in snowy mountain roads due to it's rwd, the entire chassis began to rot as well as a million other things from the muffler welded together to the rusty breaks one day driving home ironically from looking at cars the timing belt died half way in my drive way.
The Fit(2017 EX Manual Tran) replaced my 2015 GMC Sierra. Like others have said I really didn't need to drive so much vehicle around all the time. Have only had the Fit for a short period of time but I am loving the ease of parking and it really does have a great deal of space inside.



came from a 2011 Lexus ISF. Kind of a big downgrade performance wise
but I sure do love the gas, car note, and insurance savings of the fit.
