  • The Fit really is Go! - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    I absolutely love this car, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a small ride that doesnt feel cramped or cheap. Im 510, and I Fit just fine in the front seat, with room to spare. The lack of the dead pedal and center armrest? No big deal to me, as I lived without these things in my last car (Ford Escort). I wish my car was getting better MPGs (its barely breaking 30 each week), but I will say that the MPGs improve everytime I fill her up. I also wish she was a bit more powerful and had a few more "advanced" features (and that she was a bit cheaper, considering the lack of some of these features), but those are minor quibbles, as I adore this car and Im so happy I bought it. :)

  • REGRET BUYING THIS CAR! - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    Terrible seats and driving position, no armrest nor left foot rest. Automatic transmission has a 3-4 second hesitation when you step down on it at low speeds, 2-4 mph, before it downshifts to 1st gear. This is very dangerous at intersections, and has almost gotten me t-boned on several occasions. They are all like this, according to Honda, who could care less. I drove 2 others and they have the same hesitation. Honda should be forced to recall the automatic Fits and fix this dangerous defect! This has really soured me on Honda, even though I had no problems with previous Hondas. Not enough power. Gas mileage less than expected. Handling, cargo capacity good. Can hardly wait to get rid of it!

    I really like the handling of this car. The fuel economy is a little lower than I expected. The 5 speed auto transmission shifts smoothly. The fit has a very roomy interior. I really like how the seats fold down.

  • Still the One - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    Now have 37,000 miles and out of warranty. No reason to go back to the dealer except routine maintenence. Still look forward to driving it daily. Ive read many comments and heres my take: Who wants to steal 10 gallons of gas when pickups hold 35 gallons? No need for a lock IMHO. Plenty fast, just accelerate in the 4 - 5.5K rpm range. It can take it all day. 4 people with A/C in hilly territory - yea, you have to row it some. But with 4.30/1 gears it jumps off the line. Small tank - its OK cause I keep enjoying confirming the 35 mpg average I get using all 109 HP. Ive forgotten about the dead pedal issue. No lit vanity mirror, locking glovebox, and armest not a deal breaker.

  • Love It ! - 2007 Honda Fit

    Best value car I have ever had. Delight to drive with room to spare. I have been getting 32-34 MPG in town and 35-38 MPG on trips. Cant wait for the 2009.

    Best mini compact car by honda. Nice ride on the curves, accelerates fast, fun to drive on the sport mode. I love it.

  • Dont buy it for the MPG - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    Great use of interior space - weve had 5 tall people in it at once and everyone has room. The folding seats are great. Disappointing mileage in real world use. Our 100% city driven car is averaging 16 mpg and its certainly not being thrashed.

  • Fast, peppy, and totally utilitarian - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    I bought this car for these reasons: 1. Usability & Cargo room: I sold a Subaru Outback that sometimes had trouble fitting long items. Ive been redoing our basement, and carrying 8 lumber in the back of the Fit. Beat that! 2. Fuel economy: Im getting 300 miles between fill-ups right now and I figure with about 2 gallons left in the tank. All in all about 34-37 mpg. 3. Performance: This car takes corners like a cork in a pinball machine. Amazing, amazing handling. What it lacks in HP it makes up for in responsiveness. 4. Looks: I got the Sport model in Blaze Orange. Yeah baby. What a beautiful car it is to look at. 5. mp3 input/mp3 CD player. What did you expect, a cassette deck?

  • Should have bought a 5-speed manual - 2007 Honda Fit
    By -

    I really have only one major complaint: the automatic transmission. It lurches and bucks on acceleration. Also, when braking or coasting to a stop, something under there is helping me stop. It is called the "engine braking system." In theory, I suppose its a good thing. But it is very annoying. It makes the car surge when it upshifts. I feel like I am losing control. Im very disappointed with this little bucking bronco. Otherwise the car is great! Great features (stereo), great handling. Good performance once I get it up to highway speeds. The gas mileage is a little disappointing. I get 28 to 32 mpg. Was hoping for mid 30s. Wish I had waited for a 5-speed manual.

  • FIT IS GO! - 2007 Honda Fit

    I love this car! This car has more room than my other Honda and Nissan (Xterra). I love driving it, the gas mileage, the handling, the way it looks... everything about it! Weve had 2 tall adults, 1 teenager (57") and 2 kids (11yrs) in the car with no problem. When we got out, people were looking at us like "How in the world..." Im looking forward to the 2009 Fits! If youre looking for a small gas friendly reliable car, FIT IS GO!
