2009 Honda Fit User Reviews

Pros

Looks, magic seat, spacious cargo, remote locking, cruise control, comparably good gas mileage

Cons

Low front scoop, paddle shifters, tacky odometer, unpadded armrests

Purchased As New

Although the sport model was quite a lot more than the base, I chose it because it had remote locking, cruise control and of course it looks really cool. The magic seat is a really nice feature too which gives a spacious cargo area. It feels pretty roomy for a small car ( the Tardis effect). The gas mileage is good but not as good as the European version.
I'm not an aggressive driver so I haven't used the paddle shifters and they're kind of a nuisance because they get in the way when I'm turning the wheel fully around. The front scoop looks cool but is pretty low and a family member has already caught it on a curb and popped it out so now I tend to be extra careful driving over bumps, dips, etc.
I'm fine with the interior except for a couple of things, I need more padding on the arm rests for my bony elbows and the odometer is in a really tacky housing that looks like an afterthought that was bought from a dollar store. And finally I wish it was a plug in hybrid.
