75k
75,000 miles, and my '07 feels as tight as the day it came off the lot.
The only recent issue I've had is my rear wiper freezing to the window, and I pulled it and wrecked the blade.
If that's the worst thing that happens in the first 75K, hopefully the next 75K will be similar.
What a great car.
Oh, and a Jersey fill up the other night at $1.87 per gallon gave me my first sub-$20 fill up in ages!

glad to hear the Fit is still running strong... why on earth would any one buy anything but a honda... they just last for freaking ever! im only a bit over 10k on mine... so i don't have the mileage you do, but no issues thus far, except a tire popping... not honda's fault and im not always gentle on the car and she still feels new!
That's good to hear 75k & still feels new... Ya gotta love Hondas!
i mean for real what other company can you buy a car for 15 grand from and have it not be a complete POS... look at our compeditors! is the Fit perfect, no way, but will it last you a long time? yes, will it be fun to drive? yes, will it keep you safe? yes and on top of all that you get a bunch of great that others don't have, alloys, 6 speaker stereo, sweet body kit.... our closest compeditor, the versa don't even have ABS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought it was a law all cars needed that! lol
I thought I was on the high end at 26K for a year and a half of ownership. Kudos to knowing I got 50K more miles to go with no problems!

Besides the 75k Fit, I still have my 2003 Element that has 80k on it. I put about 75k of that on between August of 2003 and when I got the Fit in April 2006. I also have a 97 del Sol VTEC with 113k on it. That's my collector car...it is #717 of about 800 VTECs made that year (last year for del Sols).
I had a beater van for my business...it was a 97 Odyssey LX. Bought in Sept. 2005 with 79k on it...sold it to my Mother-in-Law (she travels up here for work and it beats paying for rental cars.) She has about 128k now and sometimes drives it between Philly and Hilton Head, SC. In 2003, I recommended an Acura TL to my Father-in-law...that now has about 135k on it.
Other than that, I have had a 97 Civic EX, a 2002 Civic Si and a 2001 S2000. Oh yeah, bikes...a 1989 VTR250, 1994 CBR600F2 and a 1999 VFR800. And a sweet Honda Harmony mower!
All in all, I have had great luck with some great Hondas and would never go to another car company.
That is good to hear i am about at 10.5k right now and owning it for about 3 months now. I do a lot of road trips to see people. So its nice to know my car should last me 5-6 years with no problems

Gee, do you like Hondas?
I have had some pretty good luck with Hondas.

The Fit reminds me of the 1978 Honda Civic I learned to drive stick on. I remember that car being just as much fun to drive!Yep...Honda's got me.
