2007 Honda Fit 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
Bought a new Fit in 2007. So far we've seen an incredible savings in gas: anywhere from 32-38. Zoomy, responsive. Seats are a bit cheap and uncomfortable on long drives. We bring a pillow to sit on. Driver's legroom is not great for tall people. My husband is just 6 feet and needs the pillow to give his legs another few inches. Not many bells and whistles but that's not why we bought it. Very dependable so far. Great cargo space. We have been able to fit a TON of stuff in the back when you put the seats down. We joke that we can "fit" it in any parking space and we can "fit" anything into it. Handled well in the Vermont snow. Backseat is not super roomy but it's not terrible.
Favorite Features
Gas mileage is fabulous! Zoomy engine (not super powerful but responsive enough.) Cargo room.
Suggested Improvements
It's an economy car so I can't ask for much, right? But if I could...better front seats and driver's leg room. I guess a more powerful engine would mean higher gas mileage so I won't hope for that. Better stereo sound?
Best in its class and then some

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
This car is everything you can ask for in a small, fuel efficient vehicle. and then it goes a step further. it offered handling and steering feel that is superior to the civic ex coupe and is trounced only by the si in terms of handling prowess. The controls are logically placed, the interior is top notch and a few steps ahead of all the cars in its class, that being that it also the oldest design. Economy is great, i average 33mpg mixed spirited driving, and maintenance has been very cheap. no major issues so far, as is typical in a Honda. Other sub 17k cars make you feel embarrassed or even bad getting into them everyday. You look forward to the drive with the Fit.
Favorite Features
Excellent steering feel, nimble handling, small outside-huge inside, 5 speed auto, paddle shifters, great stock stereo, magic seats, leather steering wheel, upscale gauges.
Suggested Improvements
An armrest would be awesome, but a non issue for other fit owners. A dead pedal would be great, as would more standard horsepower. (all things that the new model addresses, minus the armrest.) Rear passenger crash test scores are not awful, but not the best either. (again, new model fixes this.)
great value

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
12 months and 60,000 miles. I think it's broken in. It is what I expected it to be. Get 40 mpg when I drive like an old man. My highway mileage is closer to 35 mpg. The ride is on a par with my Mustang GT. The workmanship is ok. The power is about what is expected from a 90 ci engine. I will say the acceleration is about like my old Buick 225's. 455 vs 90 ci. I'll take the 90. Passing? Chose the right gear, keep the rev's up and it does ok. Center armrest? Get a big, long, round pillow. A/C can't keep up? Tint the windows. Doesn't perform like you wish? It is what it is. Pretty darn good car, especially when you look at the price. Cheap carpet? Oh well, look at the price.
Favorite Features
Ugly, just like me. Compact. Not like me. I don't realize is is so ugly and small until I get out of it. Fit's my 6-2 frame very well. No pun intended. mpg. mpg. mpg.
Suggested Improvements
Plastic front end pulls away if you goof up and scrape a curb going backwards. In other words, the front end could be higher. I would like taller tires also. Rear tires were chewed up at 30k. This due to light weight of vehicle and bumpy highway. I put eighty pounds in the back and it's better

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
We have now owned our Fit for 14 months and are very pleased with it. Sold our 2004 CR-V, which about 21 mpg, and purchased the Fit. This is my wife's car and she absolutely loves the Vivid Blue color. Her driving is about 50/50 city/highway and she averages about 33 mpg AND SHE DRIVES WITH A LEAD FOOT. No mechanical problems to date. We love it.
Favorite Features
mp3 player input, sporty and fun to drive, good mileage, versatility
Suggested Improvements
center armrest and standard floor mats

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
2nd review now that owned a year. 40+ hwy mileage, 26-29 city. Previous mileage problems now blamed on gas pumps. Car is stylish, very comfortable-great seats but don't clean easily with very nice interior design. Car has much more storage room than one thinks with very versatile interior. Front of car is very very low and often hits. Front of car is not visible so cannot judge distance and will hit parking blocks. Car has no pick up but then gets the mileage. The ride is comfortable for such a small car and handles nicely and zips right along on long trips. Load maximum is 850 which isn't much and wasn't discussed. Paint seems to mark easily and is necessary to wash with care.
Favorite Features
Mileage, interior versatility, very comfortable seats, purple interior lights-nice, safety features, reliability, and little front window for visibility and style.
Suggested Improvements
Front end needs to be higher and visible from driver's seat. Radio speakers on better radio could be better and better antenna for am. Seat coverings are hard to clean but look good. Paint scratches and swirls easily.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
We get 30-32 mpg city & 37-38 hwy. Fast, sporty, cute. Good going up mts. & narrow roads. Lots of room in front & back seats. We weigh 290 lbs. & 195 lbs. & have no problem getting in/out of the car. Love the headrests turning backwards. Put new brake pads & rotors on after 65,000 miles. Great car! Uncomfortable on long drive. Stop every 2-3 hrs. To rest our backs. We stopped in our caddy, too. No regrets.
Favorite Features
fuel economy, hatchback, rear seats folding up for floor cargo, & folding down like a small station wagon.
Suggested Improvements
Arm rests connected to the front seats between the driver & passenger. Push up when not needed, down to rest arms & a pouch behind drivers seat.

2007 Honda Fit 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
I love my fit, it's fun to drive, excellent performance and steering. I can fit as much in the back as I did in my truck. I do wish the gas tank was a few gallons larger though.
Favorite Features
Steering and handling. Room in the back.
Suggested Improvements
Heavy duty wiper blades. Drive seat should adjust to height. Larger gas tank.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
The Fit is fantastic. I needed something fuel efficient, and something to transport dogs and bikes. I looked at other hatchbacks, new and used, and this seemed like the most bang for the buck, even brand new. I was in awe at the amount of interior space for such a tiny-looking car. With the back seats folded flat, I can fit 2 bikes, luggage, 2 dogs and 2 people! I can also fit both dogs in the back/hatchback area and 4 people in the car simultaneously. I have friends that borrow the Fit to move furniture (chairs, dressers) - something typically reserved for trucks, but the Fit can handle it!
Favorite Features
Seats fold flat (essential), lots of interior space, good fuel economy,
Suggested Improvements
Sunroof option, arm rest (not that big of a deal)

Not as good as a '95 Tercel.

2007 Honda Fit Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5A)
Review
I've had four new Hondas over the years plus one Prelude I bought used. I thought I could trust Honda to build a good car. Wrong. My wife's car is a (shorter) '95 Tercel 2-DR automatic. The mileage is low on the Fit because the Tercel is more fun to drive for all small-load trips, both grocery- store and X-country. Here's why: Seats too low; no lumbar support; paddled steering wheel uncomfortable; body too wide (turn radius, parking, traffic); ride jittery and steering too quick (needs constant attention on frwy); instruments poor, and disappear in sunlight; fast cornering not fun; windshield posts too thick (pedestrians); transmission gasps; mileage mediocre. The brakes are good.
Favorite Features
People think I'm smart to own it.
Suggested Improvements
Make the glove box big enough to hold the car's manual. How about a heat gauge?

Black interior gets old quick. Honda found great color schemes in the accord and civic, how come they have their blinders on with the fit?
