  2011 Honda Fit Review - 2011 Honda Fit
  By Chris - January 23 - 10:56 pm

  The car rides very sporty and handles very well on the road. Good acceleration and braking. Very efficient fuel wise. Can put much larger things in the hatchback cargo area when back seats are pushed forward. Much larger cargo area than regular sedans. A fun car to drive.

  Beware of the head restraint system! - 2011 Honda Fit
  By barbak - April 12 - 10:52 pm

  I love my Honda Fit in every way except the comfort of the drivers seat. Ive actually driven without the headrest in thats how much it hurts my neck. Although I had intended to drive this car until it wore out, I am going to be selling it in the next couple of months and buying something less painful. BTW, I am 57.

  Wind Noise - 2011 Honda Fit
  By cstrummer - July 25 - 3:56 pm

  Have 38,000+ on my Honda Fit. Base Model. The stereo sucks. Upgrade to get tweeters, a better system. Lot of wind noise. Gets a bit much at times. Driving is fun for manual transmission. Good gas mileage. Lot of space in the car to haul your junk

  Things I wish I had Known .. - 2011 Honda Fit
  By thankfulgal2 - September 24 - 8:28 am

  Ive been a Honda owner since 1985. Ive had 5 Hondas in that time. I bought the Fit based on past experience with Hondas. But there are things I wish Id known. Like how the blower motor for the heater/AC is too high an ampage and blows resistors (and isnt covered under any warranty), and how the fog lights on the sport model can be easily cracked by road debris and allow water in (requiring a replacement at $361 each to pass inspection), and the tires are an odd size that they cost a fortune to buy (thats if you can find them). There are some obvious design flaws that need to be addressed.

  Reliability issues - 2011 Honda Fit
  By autonix - July 23 - 8:43 am

  Less than 3 years old and have already had to have valves adjusted and the heater blower motor replaced! Definitely reliability issues.

  Not one does econobox better - 2011 Honda Fit
  By 204meca - July 23 - 1:56 am

  Im bias, this is the 8th Honda I have owned. While not as fun as the Del Sol or as economical as the late 80s models, it does everything well. It hauls almost as much as our 2010 Outback, using 1/3rd less gas. Consistently gets 37-38 mpg in mixed driving, tops 40 with consistent driving under 70 mph. The Fit is just plain easy & fun to drive. I opted for the Base to for the better gas mileage & ride. Outfitted with better tires & aftermarket rear sway it never lost its composure driven as when driven as hard as possible in performance driving school. My only complaints are road noise & the fact that my thighs get a little sore after 90 minutes behind the wheel - not good for distances

  Fit to Impress - 2011 Honda Fit
  By arbolero - January 20 - 7:48 pm

  I have only used half a tank, but I am eager to share my first impression of the car. Ill start with the bad. Sport, implying some relativity to a sports car, is not an accurate description. Yes, its nimble, eagerly reving, and fun to drive, but it lacks proper acceleration, maneuverability, or pedigree to be a member of this class. The Fits enormously practical design would make it the odd-car-out if it shared some tile in the showroom of sport thoroughbreds. But I didnt need another car with senseless horsepower and "member" compensating qualities. This time, I was in the market for sensible. Plus, Honda was wise enough to forego a Sport badge on the rear gate, so, we can let it be

  the Fit is It - 2011 Honda Fit
  By dan_patterson - October 23 - 9:57 am

  I bought a 2011 Fit, base automatic, for commuter duty. I wanted Honda quality in a practical, non-flashy, and inexpensive package, and the Fit is exactly that. I could wish for more comfortable seats, a couple more inches of footroom, and a center console, but the list of standard features is quite long already. I like the fact that its tall enough that I dont bang my head on the door frame when getting in and out. It can hold a lot of stuff and is still small enough to be easy to park. Certainly it doesnt have a lot of power and it doesnt have unusually good handling- but it is unsurpassed at collecting groceries. 9k miles so far and no problems.

  Honda does not Fit - 2011 Honda Fit
  By dillpickle1 - September 7 - 11:03 am

  I followed Edmunds and Consumer Reports great ratings and bought a Honda Fit. BIG MISTAKE!! Worst Honda ever and would not buy again. 4 safety recalls and counting. Very harsh ride and "go-car" handling on interstate....very scary. Poor fit and finish compared to older Hondas. Tires are terrible and should be recalled. Should be Michelins. Bald tires at 25,000 miles but rotated every 7,000!! Body metal is suspect and very thin. Fascia trim falling off car. Transmission shifting poorly timed and paddle shifters are a JOKE. What more can I say....
