What you DO like about your Fit
Ok..I'll start it off.
The Honda road handling is near the top. For a car that has a body of a van...it does great. (I measured almost a mile straight...with my hands off the wheel last week.)
Gas mileage...always 40 in the summer...a few less in the winter.
Cargo capacity...with the magic seats, there is no other that compares.
Fun to drive...I'm cheating a little here because I use a Sprint Throttle controller. Along with a sai and tanabe exhaust...it rips through the gears. The m/t is the best.
Comfort of driving...The drivers seat fits me perfectly. I added the Honda center armrest and it's like driving from my living room recliner.

Agree with you. Plus: the Fit is small outside so it's much easier to squeeze into tight parking spaces in NYC. I honestly don't know what other car is "small outside, big inside" like the Fit. Also, I have a golden orange Fit, so it's beautiful and easy to spot in a big parking lot. Basically, the Fit is the perfect urban car. I even moved furniture using it.

^^^ I forgot about that...when driving through a parking lot and an empty spot appears...no need to swing out to park.
Just nose it in....while watching the others back up and pull ahead to get room.
The turning radius is great.

I like most the performance, manoeuvrability, convenient outside dimensions and spacious interior. I also like the looks of the car in skyride blue as well as the red/orange stitching in the upholstery of Sport/RS/Dynamic trim level.

That was my main reason for getting a fit specifically.
Less practically, I like that the form-factor is different enough that it stands out on the parking lot.

For a small car it's well designed for safety. I just noticed this in the paper today. This is what happens when two semis decide to play whack-a-mole with a 2016 Fit:

I like pretty efficient electric mirror defrosters and seat heaters.

Yeah, I still use the handbrake the old school way. But I find that much reassuring knowing you wont be rolling back and have to give a tap tap of gas to keep it from stalling etc. I also like the cruise ctrl on this. These are the two things I want to keep if if engine swap it. I almost forgot the rear view camera makes parking a breeze.

I like the easiness of the front map lights, and the front footwell lighting. I'm planning to extend it to rear footwell as well.
But still the best things are performance and nimble handling!

I really like the fuel efficiency. I like its cargo carrying ability. I like that it is durable. I like that I have had to invest very little over the last 12 years to keep it in top working order. I like that in 12 years it has never left me stranded. I like that the engine is silent at idle.
I just like it. It's not a perfect car but it fills the role that I need as many would use a truck for. I daily drive it to a desk job and use it to haul stuff for projects like drywall, lumber, large trash to the dump, etc. Great little car.

There's so many things I love about my Fit. I have a 2016 red one that replaced my 2009 dark gray one. I'm super-bummed that Honda discontinued making Fits in the US. That really sucks. I don't want an HRV or a Civic (had a few Civics, they're good cars, but don't compare to the Fit).
I love how easy it is to maneuver into tight parking spaces. I see all these huge SUVs and trucks that barely fit in a space. I just zip right in. Obviously I love the gas mileage. I love how roomy it is. People are always surprised to hear or see how much stuff I can fit in mine. We've driven from Indiana to South Carolina on vacation many times with my family of 4...never had issues fitting in the luggage.
Do you think Honda will go back to making Fits in the US? I can't believe they didn't sell well. I see them everywhere I go.

Actually the Fits were never made in the US. They were mostly made in Mexico and sometimes Japan (2017 model I think). They were sold in North America until recently. Honda's two Mexico factories now make the HRV.
