I have driven the car for over 24,900 miles and find it very comfortable and economical. The gas mileage is excellent. The car's interior has held up well. I would recommend the car to anyone who does not have a large family or doesn't require a great deal of room. I am a 72 year old single, but have traveled comfortably with as many as three to four other people without a problem. The storage space for four people would be very tight, however, if only two or three people, the rear seats can be lowered to provide more storage. The car comes equipped with a CD player, stereo radio, and iPod connection. I find the iPod connection very useful because I can study language or listen to an audio book while traveling, instead of attempting to adjust the radio for each lost of signal. I love the car, I have travelled in excess of 100 miles on just one tank of gas. You can get even better mileage if you do not drive it as an automatic, which I do. It is designed to be driven either as a stick shift or automatic. It's the only car I know of with such a design feature. I don't know a great deal about cars but have found it very low maintenance. The compact size of the car makes it easy to locate parking spaces. I would definitely purchase this car again and recommend it to others. The cost was reasonable and I feel it will maintain its value.

Well worth the price
This car is one of the greatest cars I have owned. I like the fact that it gets 40 miles per gallon and is extremely reliable. I drive about 100 miles a day with this car, and I could not ask for a more reliable and efficient vehicle. I have had this car for over 8 years, and after 250,000 miles, I have not had any major mechanical breakdowns. In fact, the only problem I have had with this vehicle is with the locking mechanism in the door locks. The fix requires a Honda Certified Mechanic, but this simple fix far outweighs the cost of typical mechanical breakdowns that I just have not had with this automobile.

Great commuter car
I bought this car as my daily driver, as I was looking for a car with the following criteria. 1 - MPG. The fit has a very efficient 4 cylinder engine. As with other Hondas, you really have to rev the engine to get power from it, but when you do it has no problem keeping up with traffic either around town or on the highway. I am regularly commuting in some light stop and go traffic, and then about 15 minutes at highway speeds and it easily does 30 mpg no matter how I drive it. 2 - Usefulness. The Fit met my requirements as it is a hatchback, and provides for good interior space even with the back seats up. The seats can either be folded flat, or the bottom can be brought up to create a space in the backseat foot well to place taller items. This versatility has been great, and I have gotten large amounts of items into the car very easily. 3. Features - The Fit had a manual transmission, which I prefer to an automatic. It has six speeds which is a positive feature over the previous generation which only had 5. However it would be better for MPG if sixth gear was geared a bit lower to reduce revs at highway speed. The car had plenty of tech standard - a backup camera, a camera on the right outside mirror that turns on when you hit the right turn signal - I originally thought this was a bit gimmicky and I wouldn't use it, but I use it all the time for checking out my blind spot. It also connects easily to my phone for Bluetooth streaming, and the audio interface is easy enough. 4. Reliability - I haven't had the car for long, but am hopeful that it lives up to the reliable reputation that precedes a Honda vehicle.
The 2019 Honda Fit is a subcompact car which competes against the Toyota Yaris, Chevrolet spark, Chevrolet Sonic, Kia Rio, Kia Soul, Hyundai Accent, and Mini Cooper.
