Driving the Fit is like driving a motorcycle. Prius engine is similar but you rarely redline it, but I think you red line the Fit all the time (only 90HP). So that conventional 200,000 miles engine life may not be true for the fit. You lucky it is a Honda engine, Fit owners.
But does it matter? since it is so small? I mean combustion to Al composition/density?
Now what kind of oil is best use for this kind of vehicle? Bridgestone Kendall oil, everybody.
i only have one question: does the honda fit handle better than my 1971 ford pinto? i would consider trading it in, but the pinto is a real chick magnet.
I cant understand why the car companies still using air conditioning compressors and alternators attached to the gas motor, drawing performance and extra miles per gallon instead of using lithium ion batteries and solar panels beside other sources for auto recharge those batteries and give us a smarter car and more fuel efficient. The air conditioning could be all electric giving us more control over it.
@mctfzipmail "I cant understand why the car companies still using air conditioning compressors and alternators attached to the gas motor" Because it's easier and requires Far less parts, and makes sense for the engine to charge it's self?
The Reason why they don't implement solar panels and lithium batteries into every car is simply because it's to expensive. And may cause reliability problems. It's far quicker to charge up a car with an alternator than it is with a solarpanel.
@mctfzipmail ONe of the cool ideas though that you did mention is a variable electric motor charging the AC system. But it would have to be linked directly to the alternator, Which it might also ad more weight and cost, instead of a traditional simpler belt driven system. Since newer cars have become FAR more efficient than the older ones int he past. Turning on the AC in your car doesn't really effect your MPG that much anymore. Especially when you are on the freeway.
yes but that price dose not include mats and cargo tray and front deflector... also there is the rust and corrotion package worth 698.00 CND AND your 6 Year Warrenty at 1245.00 CND sports start at 18 and we got our Base starting at 16-5 witch did not include winterising and mats and the like...
I love these new fit.Wish honda would come out with a mugen type R or at least Si version with say 25-50 more hp and the usual suspension/brake/exterior upgrades.
@EatmyDust1311 nahh i just got my Si so I won't be looking for another car for a while but still I'll admit besides the Si and the Accord V6 Coupe w/ 6speed MT, Honda doesn't really have much going for it
I don't like the second gen fit. It looks like it has a wing window. The first gen was so awesome I was prepared to pay for one strictly on overtime money.
If you wants 100% from Japan go with Mitt..Evo Lancer , You get a everyday car and a race car the same time, most importantly reliable too. Go ahead ask somebody own one's. Go ahead.....
@07NY1 dude 2 competely different cars. 2 completely different price ranges. I am going to buy a fit in a year not because its fast but because its cheap for a brand new car and reliable. When I get my Z06, that will be my every day rce car. ANd I already own a 370z... obviously the Z is gonna get traded in though.
it is great mate, had a 07 but we were in a hood speed side impact, saved my fauthers life, side airbags did their job and felt nothing, the reinforcements really kept the car out of the passenger but any one in the rear would have been gone though.... and guess what, just got the 2010 fit :P, tidewater, really great so far and love it!
Yeah I know they are not made in the US but all the cars made in the US right now are shit. I dont know about you all but when I buy a car I want it to last. I dont mean just a few years but far more. I have a 97 Nissan pickup with over 160k and I only had to replace the starter. They are easy as hell to work on too. My next car is going to be a Nissan or Honda going to get one on my 25th b-day next month. Insurance rates go down a bit when you turn 25. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why would any one want to get this its so damn small. i hate jap imports in general but i hate these subcompact rice rockets even more its a stupid concept especialy in a country like america or canada
@atgskater14 the real question is, why you hate them so much? because they are small? WTF man, WTF!
When it comes to reliability nothing can touch the imports. In fact I still have my 96' Rav4 from like 15 years ago working just fine. Not even a single problem with the engine or anything while I have a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP from the same year too with transmission problems and that's just the beginning. To fix that car I'll need like $5,000... American cars are like the worst in the long run.
@Wiimaniac ford has surpassed honda in reliability. my sister bought a new 07 corrola, after a month the ecu needed to be replaced. her old camry needed 2 transmissions. have you seen any new american car? they are better than what the japs make now
@poop4256 well good for you. i never said anything bad about honda, thier cars are the only thing they make i wouldnt buy. i actually have a few of ther dirtbikes, including a 1974 xr75 i learned to ride on along with most of my family, and its still running on 95% original parts
@EatmyDust1311 "my sister bought a new 07 corrola" That isn't made by honda nor is it even considered a new car. Sound like it's more used than new in my book. And it's hard to tell What the last owner did in terms of taking care of it. Some people trash it or do very little in terms of maintenance.
"have you seen any new american car? they are better than what the japs make now"
Chrysler is DEFINITLY not better in ANYWAY, they still pump the dated lines. Ford drastically improved.
chrysler is the worst of the bunch, new cars are coming soon enough though.
hondas reliablity and build quality has fallen drastically in the past few years acording to every 3rd party mag or auto reviewer. ford now has the highest quality of any non luxury brand according to JD power. and you are the one comparing new cars to old fords... i have a new ford f150 raptor and the interior is acclaimed by all as best in class
@EatmyDust1311 3rd party is and always HAS been full of shit. That's why they are in 3rd place when it comes to opinion. I went to the honda dealer the other day to check out the newer ones compared to some of the older ones in the past. All i see are improvements. In every area, Dimensions are slightly scaled up, and the Powerplants inside them somehow each decade or so produce even MORE power with the same displacement. So whoever said the quality is going down needs to check their own facts.
@EatmyDust1311 "every magazine says that hondas reliability is not as good as it used to be" Please site this information. Because the last CSR magazine i read about overall build quality. Most of the hondas were on top. And these generation of vehicles had very LITTLE recalls. Compared to some of the countless recalls GM, chrysler and Ford had.
@EatmyDust1311 "and you are the one comparing new cars to old fords... i have a new ford f150 raptor and the interior is acclaimed by all as best in class"
@EatmyDust1311 But i doubt they've surpassed Honda in terms of making rugged small reliable engines. Fords trucks are almost unbeatable. We were towin some shit the other day with one trailer hooked in the back full of wood and two Honda trail 90's in the bed going home from the ranch. The ride was smooooooth almost all the way. But the interior in that model year was complete garbage. body panels didn't really fit together well and there were annoying gaps. (like mostly all early 00 trucks.).
@EatmyDust1311 Alot of the interior resembled that of mostly Tupperware plastic instead of the higher quality Rubbermaid type plastics you'd find in the Hondas and Toyotas. But ford is getting there. Especially with the newer ones boasting in higher quality materials. they shouldn't brag though about it comparing to their other competitors like GM is. They should just stay focused on the product quality and company philosophy.
@Wiimaniac i've got nothing with imports and i dont wanna get in your debate guys....but you cant say all american cars arent reliable....
for instance my 1990 jeep cherokee....is 20 years old and has 280 000 km on it and ever since 5 years that i owned it i havent had one single problem ...except maintenance of course
@22sedin What transmission problems i have owned multiple hondas and so have my friends and family from civics, accords, odysseys, and crv no transmission failures or problems
i think honda fit has ABS as standard which are why its little pricy compare to Nissan Versa ?
fit full load are pretty similar in price compare to full load on Versa i think.
but yea compare to american/korean cars its little expensive, but i dont feel like to use the word overpriced. since these cars last longer,cheaper maintains and less maintains required according to most ppl's oppinion.
I don't know about the American prices, but in Canadian dollars, the fully loaded Honda Fit which is the 'sport" trimline is $19,280. The fully loaded Versa $17,398
I do agree with you in terms of comparing them to Korean/American cars. The Hondas and Nissan have less of a chance of giving you serious engine issues in the long run. I still think $20,000 for a subcompact is rather pricy though lol
I would drive this... I kind of like the look and if anyone laughs at me, I will just say "whatever, this thing will last years compared to your american car"
chev=fail? chevys get better gas milege than these hondas chevy trucks are better than honda trucks chevy cars perform better than hondas hondas are rice i can go all day on how chevys are better than hondas
oh OF COURSE!! how could i forget...chevy went bankrupt?....damn man....you got me there!!...chevy are obviously better!....pffftt HONDA FOR THE WIN, INBRED!!
honda for the when ok but when your in your little chinkish honda and i pass by in a camaro whitch by the way is made by chevy you can just enjoy my tail lights chevys are better
screw you it wasan economic crisis theyve returned with a line up far greater than any thing honda can make Traverse and Equinox>crv malibu >accord siverado.thatn what ever the hell that truck is that honda makes the one that is a blunt copy of the silverado camaro>than all cobalt>honda civic aveo>fit malibu hybrid >insight ...
Sure there was an economic crisis, but a lot of the best selling Japanese cars are made in North America and Nissan actually opened new plants in the U.S. during the same economic crisis while "The big three" where closing plants and gutting their workforce.
cobalt ss cobalt malibu impala impala ss focus taraus fusion are all much better cars than this fit or the chinkish corrola and a zr1 is better than a lambo or ferrari
What car do you drive? Be honest and let us know... it might REALLY be the gay car because the 09 Fit is a beauty and is the most useful sub-compact car. Don't be jealous your girlfriend drives a better car than you.
i have a my mercedes 190D turbo diesel top speed 240km/150mph and my BMW M3 top speed is 260km/162mph am buying tomorrow a new black honda fit/jazz sv and i will get back to you on that.
2006 lariat f150. i have it because i need a truck. my truck is faster and is almost twice as heavy, IMO i think it has far better styling than the fit, the interior is better and overall my truck is a much more versitile/useful car, not to mention its safer. the one thing i give credit to the fit on is gas mileage and it has some cool little features and nick nacks that you would expect from honda. honestly i think the fit looks like a doorstop or a rollerskate. but thats just my opinion
well, honestly if you have the money and want to go for it then i dont see why not, but i wouldnt suggest getting a teen a new car! not only are the chances of an accident so much higher but your insurance is going to skyrocket. get a reliable old used car imo.
but that bieng said the honda fit is a great drive, can comfortably fit anything your teen might need for practice or trips with friend or errands and the crash ratings are almost all 5 stars.hope that helped
The Fit is for losers... I know a 40 year old man that drives one. Thats pretty sad, 40 years and all he can afford is a Fit? A total loser in life. Successful people care about saving time, not saving gas and other trivial nonsense.
My friend has always talked about how "nice" the fit was, but for me, never driving I had no clue. This really shows how nice it really is. Although I'm more old school with my "Del Sol", this car is pretty nice and If I wanted a second car, this would be my fit :D (pun intended)
I'd take the Fit Sport over the base model. For the Sport trim, you get: - a better looking front grille - side mirror-integrated turn indicators - retractable side mirrors - sideskirts - security alarm - immobilizer - paddle shifters - height adjustable front seats - a more powerful engine. Only drawbacks are no mudguard and standard foglights.
You're wrong, all Fits come with the same engine, regardless of trim. With the sport version, you're paying too much for a Fit. You might as well get the Civic if you're gonna pay that much, since the Civic is much more powerful and is more safe.
Hmm, not really, the cheapest civic is way cheaper than $20,000. If you can afford to spend $2000 more on a car, the civic is a way better deal, since its R18 is way stronger than the Fit's engine. However, some people still buy the Fit simply 'cause it's smaller and more economical.
Great car. Mine has 5,000 miles on it. When test driving make sure you pull into the driveway of your home, nose first, slowly. There is a very good chance it will scape. This happens frequently in especially in parking lots. It is a lowrider.
why would anybody wants to buy a car that looks like an egg go cart where for the same price they can get a cooler looking box car like the scion xb even though the scion is heavier ...the gas are close for both.
Why the hell do people want to put turbos on these damn econo boxes??? If you're trying to get some speed...get a real f'ing car!!! I find that this car would be great to do what it's meant to do....and that's to be functional, somewhat spacious, reliable, safe, fuel efficient, and, to a very small degree, sporty for the daily commuter. My only current real complaint of the Fit would be the shape of the door handles.
I don't think these guys know what "Cock Block" means. Probably just heard it in some conversation and thought " hey I think I'll use that phrase in my review." Good luck getting that exahust manifold "Un cock blocked" so you can get yourself some.. I guess.
You know that's a damn good car i would consider owning. Especially when commuting on the free way. nice comfortable. aero dynamic and its like a friggin space ship top off with unbeatable mpg that piece of shit GM cant touch. what more could you ask?
I bought one after test driving 10 different other cars,I have owned over 130 cars in my life and this one is in the top 5,changed to 91 octane and this thing feels like an Integra Type R's offspring.
you lose the immese storage space of the fit, lighter body, many standard options (MP3 player CD player, Bodykit, wheels, NAV) for several thousand less than a similar equpied civic or corolla
...i test drove every car in the class (versa, xd, vibe, etc) nothing else even came close to the fit. this car is in a class to itself. if you're thinking of getting an econo car, this should be the first car you test drive...if you can find one!
also, DO NOT PAY DEALER MARKUP ON THIS CAR! i got mine at msrp, which was hard enough. i've never paid sticker for a car in my life, but this car is worth it...just not anymore!
im just sayin why would you buy a 09 fit when there are literally a ton of other cars at dirt cheap prices in this type of market...it doesnt make any sense (to me at least). u were saying you have driven "every car in the class" (I assumed you had also test drove the hatchback b class benz)
its a great car but obviously a bit more pricy if u buy new
These are things made in China...not Japan but the FIT was in fact built in CHINA!! LOL!

I cant understand why the car companies still using air conditioning compressors and alternators attached to the gas motor, drawing performance and extra miles per gallon instead of using lithium ion batteries and solar panels beside other sources for auto recharge those batteries and give us a smarter car and more fuel efficient. The air conditioning could be all electric giving us more control over it.

@mctfzipmail ONe of the cool ideas though that you did mention is a variable electric motor charging the AC system.

I do agree with you in terms of comparing them to Korean/American cars. The Hondas and Nissan have less of a chance of giving you serious engine issues in the long run. I still think $20,000 for a subcompact is rather pricy though lol

Too little, too late.
Sure there was an economic crisis, but a lot of the best selling Japanese cars are made in North America and Nissan actually opened new plants in the U.S. during the same economic crisis while "The big three" where closing plants and gutting their workforce.

blackwolfone1 2 years ago
2006 lariat f150. i have it because i need a truck. my truck is faster and is almost twice as heavy, IMO i think it has far better styling than the fit, the interior is better and overall my truck is a much more versitile/useful car, not to mention its safer. the one thing i give credit to the fit on is gas mileage and it has some cool little features and nick nacks that you would expect from honda. honestly i think the fit looks like a doorstop or a rollerskate. but thats just my opinion

well, honestly if you have the money and want to go for it then i dont see why not, but i wouldnt suggest getting a teen a new car! not only are the chances of an accident so much higher but your insurance is going to skyrocket. get a reliable old used car imo.
but that bieng said the honda fit is a great drive, can comfortably fit anything your teen might need for practice or trips with friend or errands and the crash ratings are almost all 5 stars.hope that helped
cobaltcomet 2 years ago
Defienately, unless that high schooler likes loud and fast cars than don't drive a fit.
I have a 09 Fit Sport and a Freshman at a College, but I would have loved to driven this to high school.

The Fit is for losers... I know a 40 year old man that drives one. Thats pretty sad, 40 years and all he can afford is a Fit? A total loser in life. Successful people care about saving time, not saving gas and other trivial nonsense.

You're wrong, all Fits come with the same engine, regardless of trim. With the sport version, you're paying too much for a Fit. You might as well get the Civic if you're gonna pay that much, since the Civic is much more powerful and is more safe.
tubegangsta 2 years ago
Well, in other parts of the world, the Honda Fit is known as the Honda Jazz.
And it comes with 2 engines: the 1.3 base trim or the 1.5 Sport trim.
In the UK, they only have the 1.2 base trim and the 1.4 Sport trim.
The 1.5 is standard only in the US.

About the cheapest Civic you can get is $20,000...you can get a fully loaded sport for $19,000 with nav..
stevewode 2 years ago
Hmm, not really, the cheapest civic is way cheaper than $20,000. If you can afford to spend $2000 more on a car, the civic is a way better deal, since its R18 is way stronger than the Fit's engine. However, some people still buy the Fit simply 'cause it's smaller and more economical.

Great car. Mine has 5,000 miles on it. When test driving make sure you pull into the driveway of your home, nose first, slowly. There is a very good chance it will scape. This happens frequently in especially in parking lots. It is a lowrider.

I find that this car would be great to do what it's meant to do....and that's to be functional, somewhat spacious, reliable, safe, fuel efficient, and, to a very small degree, sporty for the daily commuter. My only current real complaint of the Fit would be the shape of the door handles.

This car barely gets better mileage than a Civic or Corolla, yet it's smaller and is much much slower.
I'd rather have the larger and more powerful Civic or Corolla if all I'm saving is 1 mpg with this clown car.
No thanks.

you lose the immese storage space of the fit, lighter body, many standard options (MP3 player CD player, Bodykit, wheels, NAV) for several thousand less than a similar equpied civic or corolla

...i test drove every car in the class (versa, xd, vibe, etc) nothing else even came close to the fit. this car is in a class to itself. if you're thinking of getting an econo car, this should be the first car you test drive...if you can find one!
also, DO NOT PAY DEALER MARKUP ON THIS CAR! i got mine at msrp, which was hard enough. i've never paid sticker for a car in my life, but this car is worth it...just not anymore!

its a great car but obviously a bit more pricy if u buy new
