2012 Honda Fit User Reviews

Pros

Reliability, good gas mileage

Cons

Interior material could be better

Purchased As New

Best car I've ever had, or driven in the 40+ years I've been driving. Love the looks of it. It maneuvers great, and is (don't tell my husband) fun to drive. Am still amazed at how roomy it is inside. Loved my husbands old Civic, but was always banging my head getting in. Not so in the Fit. We bought new in 2008 and are *this* close to 100K miles. Nothing has gone out on it yet, has only seen the mechanic for oil changes and tire rotations. The first couple years it averaged ~36 mpg. Now it's down a bit to ~33 mpg, which still makes us very happy. Feels comfortable enough to me, has never been a problem for my bad back.
What's most important to me in a car is reliability and good gas mileage. The Fit is definitely that, plus it's roomy and looks great! The only bad thing I can think of is that it has a little trouble keeping up with other cars when driving uphill against the high desert winds out here. I believe I can live with that. Also, the interior. My last car was a Toyota Corolla, and when we first got the Fit I was a little disappointed in the interior. The plastic used in the doors and dash, etc, and the upholstery looked a lot cheaper than in the Toyota, and I didn't expect the seats to last long at all. Fortunately, they seem to be holding up just fine, no problems. I LOVE this car, and our next car will also be a Fit. Now, if Honda would just bring the Fit Hybrid to the US.......
