2007 Honda Fit Sport Road Test by Edmunds' Inside Line

[geppegep]

many pit stops? duh they were definately not running it til it was out of gas then

[deftdrummer]

I think I'm gonna buy this car. I love my Jeep Cherokee but now that I'm in the city I just can't afford to get 17 MPG anymore. Plus I don't think I'll be doing any off roading any time soon.

[MRBRAD9070]

noticeable ABS noise? i don't give a crap just let me stop before i hit the little kid chasing the red ball. lol

[Obie327]

Got the 08 sport 5 speed! This Fit is a joy to drive! Recommend to anyone lookin' for fun, smart, flexible, reliable, and practical car.

[LucyCornejo]

My car! ;D

[KPKonliner]

nice review but pls give the review about the newer hodna fit

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

This is the Micro Machine car of the VW Rabbit.

[doomsk8er]

yeh my dad has that car, i heard its handling rivaled that of an f50 or something.

[apexdna]

Looks like someone's jealous of other's success ...

[evjt327]

i had the accord,crv and civic.i have this car now.i love it.the seats fold down and you can put lots of cargo(like drum sets,amps,etc... or sleep in the back haha)gas is good and the handling is great.

[voicesinurhead01]

Great review!

[TheAgent06]

What an ugly car...looks like ur driving a matchbox go cart..or an egg.

[chippy7100]

all hondas and the fit especially own and all u h8ers out there just mad cuz it outsells american small cars and is reliable

[assphincter]

HONDA SHIT! Man up and buy a domestic gas guzzler. If you can't afford to pay for gas you should not be driving you fucking panzies.

[Sean1086]

YES! Listen to this obvious Republican Palin supporter and make the domestic and foreign oil companies even richer by handing over not some of your paychequ but ALL of it. Bush needs to suplement his pension in January somehow. Hey, maybe they will even throw in a free shotgun with the purchase of your gas hog so that you can go out with you beer guzzling redneck buddies and shoot at things! It will look great at the trailer park!

[assphincter]

Hahaha, Fuck politics. It does not matter who gets elected. They are all fucking liars anyways. This country has already been fucked up. You think little 4 cylinder and electric cars are going to save the planet? Hahahaha get a fucking clue! We have a fuck load of oil but it is the tree huggers who don't want us to drill. Go spew your political bullshit to someone who gives a fuck.

[TorontoBoi]

i am confident that one day you'll grow a brain assphincter.

[assphincter]

I am not confident that someday you will get laid.

[TorontoBoi]

Actually it was last night, twice. You loose.

[assphincter]

Your right hand doesn't count. Since it is quite apparent you are not the most intelligent here is a free English lesson for you:

Lose - If you didn't LOSE the money you got from giving blow jobs you might have been able to buy a car.

Loose - Your ass is so LOOSE from getting pounded it does not make a noise when you fart.

End of lesson. Fuck off.

[numbernwords]

Ya go drive your shit American car

[assphincter]

You bet I will. Go fuck a tree.

[bradpittsego]

children please

[Adrilovescheese]

history u are conpletely wrong honda even admits that the civic and the fit have ecactly the same everything just the civic isnt a hatchback,

[Adrilovescheese]

i have this car in blue also a fenoninal car its truly amazing

[rickrock17]

i have this car in blue love it man...such a good car

[SoundGuyDavo]

Where can i find a big open lot like that in Eastern Pennsylvania ?

[history2legend2myth]

its much better to buy a honda civic

[wolfslayer89]

good car theres a waiting list for these now -__- due to gas prices.

[f22b1]

Sexy

[Sean1086]

I love it! If you really want to go faster then you could either add a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust or suck it up and put a lot more gas through something else. Sure you might get better milage out of a diesel but diesels are not exactly maintenance free and hybrids cost about twice as much.

[DrFlippin]

I drive a 10yr old V8 BMW530iT which I love but... the gas price went up again today- and it'll keep going up. Just guzzles the gas! I'm seriously thinking of swallowing my pride and trading in the bimmer for one of these. Is the fit large enough for a young family of 3 for city driving? 30mpg sounds insane regardless of what size the tank is. Fit drivers: how's the mileage against competitors like Versa, Yaris and diesel VW? 5-10yrs everyone will be in a hybrid or one of these.

[changoo148]

The size is great but on a manual transmission the trip computer tells me im doing 10 km/L which isn´t eaven close to 30mpg

[ato141]

its very big lol, lots of room! i go camping in the summer with my family (we are 4) and we have space for all are tents and food and all, very good, about gas, well its very good too (in my opinion) my sister has a yaris, trust me, the honda fit is way better.

its really nice and elegent, the radio is nice and the color is like a gray kinda ting very nice lol i love my fit, i never had any problemes with it and i hope this helps!

Cheers

[wtfasiankid8o8]

idont really have one but i found out that the honda fit gets about 28mpg average. Plus, its 5 horsepower (o wow) stronger than yaris or the others. But still, its actually more liek a civic.

[Stoopudjurcee1]

They're BOTH made by Honda, and Honda is fucking awesome, so why compare? Honda makes them, so why the fuck care?

[wtfasiankid8o8]

because its like a fricken grandma car turned into a civic-like hatchback. and, even better it is honda so you can expect it to be better than a lot. plus, have you noticed gas lately? its like... wtf man $60 to fill up a fricken car. so thats why i would like it.

[ryanrusich]

This car is all about being frugal. Welcome to the future of the automobile. Honda is always right on the money.

[rig48]

am i downgrading if i trade my 2002 maxima se for this car????

[ryanrusich]

You're comparing apples to oranges which doesn't make any logical sense.

[sixyears]

Wow that fit was really burning it through the saloum.

[BoxCarBoy12]

I'm torn between which Fit I like... the new one is better in every way than the old one but the old one looks a whole lot better. Fit forever!

PS dougdanger is an idiot.

[bigjpayne]

Thanks for the review. I've been considering one of these and this helps my decision. I think its a stretch to ding it on tank size all vehicles this class have 10 to 13 gal tanks. Could anyone comment on this vehicle's passing capabilities (40 to 70mph range)? Please reply if so. I'm assuming its not a down right slug in manual trim - just like to hear some real life experiences.

[planb678]

if i were u id get a gti because its faster but the fit is a honda so it will last longer and get better mileage. fit is beter that yaris

[santoku7]

a gti is not even in the same segment as a fit-- i think it costs almost twice as much? can't really make a comparison there...

[planb678]

u can get a used gti for like 12000 but the new ones are about twice as much

[santoku7]

passing abilities are fine on the fit. i have a stick shift so if i needed to do some serious passing when crusing under 3K RPM i would downshift. also, at 70 mph on a stick shift you'd be at around 3.5K RPM as manual trannys are geared differently than the autos. at that RPM i don't really need to downshift in order to find power for passing.

as for the automatic tranny i can't comment on that. maybe those paddles shifters would help.

[santoku7]

add: that's 3.5K RPM on 5th gear. It's almost 4K RPM at 80 mph. lol

[RaptorPR]

Im thinking about getting one here in Puerto Rico. But the Manual Transmission. Now, question. For how long the fuel last with a full tank? A week or week and half?

[santoku7]

the fuel tank is only 10.8 gallons so it gets depleted quicker than one would expect. i get about 32 mpg mostly city/some highway but it seems like i get worse economy than that because of the small tank. how long the fuel would last really depends on your style of driving.

[Shant91]

I really like this car. I'm seriously considering getting one, actually.

A crisp, accurate five-speed sounds good to me. I despise automatics; besides, a Fit with an automatic is tantamount to suicide in L.A.

[emanzeme]

I think it just depends on what you are looking for. If you live in a rural area or have a long commute, I can't think this car would suit your needs very well.

But I live in San Francisco and really love how versatile the Fit car is. I can park anywhere, squeeze past bigger cars in tight traffic.

It's zippy and very fun to drive and the gas mileage is very decent.

It's also surprising how much stuff you can lug around in it.

For my needs, I couldn't ask for anything more.

[history2legend2myth]

honda fit is cute but the horse power is terrible 109hp sucks .... i hate to say this but the truth is toyota matrix is better than the honda fit no hard feelings honda because i have a honda fit thats why ....

[bigjpayne]

Yes the Matrix has better performance but is a much larger vehicle and on paper is far worse mpg wise. Pick and choose - power or economy. You'll also pay 5k+ more for the Matrix. I also looked into the Matrix vs the Fit.

[planb678]

u got the fit right

[apexdna]

Need do I say more, I'm buying it ...

[kunalhuhu]

can u people tell me if its a good car because i am planning to ethier to buy a Honda Civic

or a Honda Fit

[EMTkristy1986]

i have a honda fit.. it's great! i have fixed it up a lot! i put a lot of decals on it.. it looks sporty.. i reccomend the fit SPORT! not the regular one.. its really roomy and it's cool.. i have the orange one.. i recommend getting the windows tinted too! i have the automatic yet i can shift too with the paddles.. and the breaks are good too! good luck! ya and the whole gas thing is pretty true.. but it's good on gas..

[kunalhuhu]

how much do you pay for gas when your on Empty

[EMTkristy1986]

it takes about 30 bucks to fill it up.. thats at 3.20 a gal.. around there.. but that will last us a week and a couple days only because we commute 70 miles everyday. the most we paid to ever have to fill it up was around 40 and that was when gas prices were around 3.80's ish.

[91W350]

We have kept detailed mileage records on ours since new. It made 40 on one tank as a high, coming south out of Rapid City SD back to Kansas, all highway, mostly downhill. The low was 20 mpg pulling a stiff cross wind and three inches of blowing snow. It is a great car to drive, amazingly good ride on the road and handles like a go cart in town. They could have called it the zip, as it is great for city errands. Ours is the sport, a great little car! We run 80mph on the Interstate, not babied...

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

There really fun to drive, only if they had a v6. Then again, we do like 33 mpg.

[colincarguy]

i love my orange fit sport, went to naples florida from south bend indiana 2 times already and only filled up 2 times on the way down, compared to my mazda tribute which we filled up 4 times on average, oo and has a faster lane change speed than a ferrari F430, beat that scion POS!

[dougdangger]

" has a faster lane change speed than a ferrari F430"

LOL!!!

What a fucking idiot. Comparing his POS granny car to an Italian Supercar.

[colincarguy]

apperently you dont get out much, look at car and drivers comparo and look at the lane change test they performed, they siad themselves that it had a greater lange change speed than the italian ferrari f430, no joke asshole, do some reasearch and fine it for yourself, you will be dissapointed.

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

Fucking pwnd, air high five.

[colincarguy]

hells yeah ppl need to read more, and mayeb take it for a test drive instead of insinuating shit about such a great car!

[emanzeme]

Doug, what a rude piece of crap you are.

[Winjury]

"What a fucking idiot. Comparing his POS granny car to an Italian Supercar."

look at this guy, tryin to be cool and shit. i work for honda- go take a fit on a test drive, take some sharp turns...youll be a believer.

What i dont understand is that people with NO knowledge about what they speak about have the most bs to shoot outta their mouths, whats that about?

[catfish4281]

yes, car and driver magazine said that fit sport is faster than F430 spider at the lane changing test on several occasions, including when the fit made it to one of the top ten cars of the year.

[jonnathon7777]

Can't wait for my fit :D

[BoxCarBoy12]

THE FIT IS FREEAKING AWESOME!! Who cares about the fuel tank? You still get over 300 miles out of it.

[cthulufunk]

Great car. I drive the Fit-S AT. If you're interested in one, don't bother w/ the AT...the paddle shifters are really freaking irritating.

[fuseli]

You're a fucking moron, the paddles are great if you know how to downshift properly with them, by blipping the throttle.

[cthulufunk]

I'm a moron for having an opinion? Okay Youtube Toughguy.

I don't mind them as much after awhile, just have to be careful not to hit them on sharp turns.

[proskatermatt]

you defending yourself turns me on...

[shudderbug]

This is a great video for a great car. I own the Silver Storm Metallic 5-speed manual sport model. I've owned everything from a 1965 Mustang to a 1978 Datsun 280-Z. This car is more fun to drive than either one, and I'm averaging over 35 MPG in mostly city driving. Enjoy the video, then take the car for a test drive. You just might like it.

[6devilishangel6]

m8, how can the jazz/fit be more fun to drive than the stang??? I mean, I know the Fit is a great car (I'm even considering getting one, so don't think I'm a small car hater lol), but it's not even close to those when it comes to power, handling... not to mention looks and charisma :)

[shudderbug]

The Mustang, with a 4bbl carb, got only 12 MPG in the city, and while it was fun to go through the gears, and lay rubber in all four, it attracted a lot of attention, and I got a lot of tickets; so that enjoyment was very costly. The Fit corners and handles very well, but it's 5-speed MT allows you to wind out the gears (when you want to) and avoid the very expensive tickets). So, for me, the speeds are less, but the enjoyment is more.

[crevans2006]

The Fit already out slaloms a Mustang. Add some UHP tires to a Fit and with the light weight, you can hit some ridiculous corner speeds.

A wise man once said "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow."

[J90lude]

haha who was this wise man?

[e30roundel]

hhahha very well said, im thinking about buying one...but kinda wanna mod :P

[kyo1489]

great video ^_^ im gonna get my fit soon!
