Love my 2016 Fit! I agree with the battery. I've had a few problems getting it started in cold temps after it was sitting for several days. I took it to get campfire wood once and I asked the guy how much the wood was. He looked at my fit and said, in a somewhat mocking manner, $25 for whatever I can get in that car. He took my money and went inside while I proceeded to load the car with wood. As I pulled out I saw him come out of the house and the look on his face when he saw I had taken almost all of the wood he had out was priceless!

In my 2018 Fit I chopped up the battery tray and put a Civic sized battery in it. It ended up only 3/4" away from the computer but has never been a problem in 150k miles

I replaced the stock size 151R battery in my 2011 Fit with the larger size 51R so there's more amperage on colder mornings. It barely fit, but worth it. I also don't worry about running the accessories too long. Hopefully it will last longer than the 3 years the 151R batteries have lasted me.

I bought a 2009 Toyota Yaris 1.5L 5spd manual Liftback brand new. My friends all own turbocharged sports cars and American muscle, but they have all been impressed with the the little bullet. Only 118k miles on it, just swapped out the factory brake pads last week. No problems at all with her. Definitely my favorite car I've ever owned. Subcompacts just don't get the credit they deserve here in the U.S.

[@baronvonjo1929]

I think we don't like them because one room. We spend a lot of time in our cars. I sat in the back of a Ford Fiesta. It is very impractical. Also safety. Good luck convincing a lot of people to get into a small car like that. Hitting a Camry sounds like a death sentence. And then style. Now this is subjective. But so many subcompacts really look like they were designed for other markets. They just don't seem like they would have mass appeal. I feel like American normally prefer well muscular looking cars compared to the cute blobs that dominate the segment. But that's just my opinion. And you can also get a used car with more space, better build quality, more bells and whistle for the price of a new subcompact.

[@blakestrother5122]

I've owned 2 Honda fits and driven 3. The two I owned were 2010 and now I have a 2016. I believe the fit has had 3 major generations. My 2010 fit within the 2nd gen and my 2016 is a 3rd gen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this car! TONS of SPACE in every iteration and great visibility. The 2nd Gen fits did have some issues and I would say unless your really trying to save money I would nab a gen 3. The primary issue with my 2010 was the AC unit. It wasn't broken but on long road trips after about 90 minutes the system would presumably freeze over and spit out non-cool air. If I stopped for a break to eat and went back on the road it was great. I looked it up back then and it was a pretty common issue for these cars and at the time I was roadtripping at lease once a month to see my folks. My 2016 has never had the issue and it seems like something honda intentionally fixed on Gen 3. I also had the entire instrument cluster on my 2010 fail on me. Luckily for me I had a good Honda auto shop at the time that could hook me up with a used cluster and I had a tag on my door to describe the odometer difference. The only reason I upgraded to a 2016 is because my 2010 was eventually stolen and found by the police stripped of a lot of parts. Going back to a Fit was an easy decision. It's way cheaper to maintain then a compact hybrid like a prius. 40mpg in best conditions and a normal car battery, easy decision. Only thing I wish I coulda found at the time was a 2017 Fit, which is when they added Carplay, but when I was searching for one back in 2018, Fits were really hard to come by. Everyone had caught on and was driving them into the ground. I'll likely move into an EV after this but if the Fit is my last ICE car, I think I picked well!

I bought a 2015 Fit two months ago with 135k miles. I absolutely love it. Versatile cargo area, roomy back seats (for a small hatchback), 38mpg on the highway. The CVT makes the driving experience boring though.

[@iamonline3221]

lol. don't care about excitement in driving CVT, does it last ?

[@WillieRayPR]

@@iamonline3221 The CVT is the weakest point but the Fit is generally one of the most reliable cars out there. I would have preferred to get a 6MT. If you get a CVT make sure to stay on top of your CVT fluid maintenance

[@iamonline3221]

@@WillieRayPR I'll see if I can get one in a decent shape, 2018-2019 , reliability buys me.

These are great cars. When I lived in the UK I bought a brand new 2004 Jazz model. Unbelievably roomy, versatile, reliable and economical. It was a manual transmission.

[@r-kellyspeesheets908]

A guy I work had one of these from new and he drove it to 130000 without doing any engine work to it. It finally started to rot out and he got rid of it last year and replaced it with a Volkswagen jetta. I told him that I can almost guarantee he won't have even close to the same reliability with that jetta.

[@DannimusPrime]

Bought an 08 Fit sport 5 spd for $300 best $300 car i could have ever asked for. Yeah it needed work but nothing a enthusiast couldn't handle. Had almost 200k miles on it before a deer took it out. Miss that car so much. Once my finances are better I'm buying a newer one.

The Honda's used to be the same way when they are made in Ohio when the Japanese ran the plants but now they have Americans run the plants and the quality has gone down a little.

Japanese made is definitely the best to this day. My 2020 Civic Sport Sedan 6MT was built in Ontario Canada, & is far better quality than my friends 2018 Civic (same generation) which was built in Ohio. Japan is still tops though 👍🏻

[@chrisboling2852]

I bought a 2009 Honda Fit Sport with 92,000 miles from the original owner for my daughter for her first car. I’ve had 3 of the 3rd generation fit and this was the first time in a second generation and I loved it! My daughter is so excited to finish her drivers Ed and get her license next week! A teenager really desires independence and a super reliable car is the biggest step towards independence thus far in their life.

[@sinanocalan4959]

I believe that leader of car of B segment is Jazz. 300.000 km in city and no fault in CVT gearbox. Engine is absulately robust. Car is 20 year old and no performance falling. Seats are soft and has long life. Safety equipments are full in car. Second hand part costs is nearly good. In the feature I will sell my jazz and purchase a new one. 2012 1.4 engine CVT model or 2015 1.3 engine CVT model is waiting for me. This car should being manufacture continuously.

[@canardeur8390]

As someone who hates CVTs, I must admit I was really positively surprised as I recently jumped in a Honda taxi with CVT. Here in Bangkok, where I live, most taxis are Toyota Corolla sedans with CVT. And when the taxi driver gives power, you hear the engine yelling like hell while the car is gaining speed. But recently, I had a 10-year-old Honda City taxi, a less-than-4.19-meter sedan, as they are popular here, with a CVT. You could hardly hear the engine. With my broken Thai language, I talked about the car with the driver: he told me that within 10 years driving it, he never had any issue with it. Of course, my preference goes for the Mazda2 sedan with a classical 6-speed automatic transmission, but if I had to buy a second hand car, then Honda, even with CVT, could gain my favor.

[@MaduraAnushanga]

Your hate is well placed! I bought a CVT Jazz and it started shuddering after a week from the day I bought it. The issue was in the transmission and it is quite common in that model...long story short I sold it dirt cheap and vowed to not buy CVT cars ...specially used ones!

[@JhustineProvido]

Honda Fits are very reliable and economical. Also the rear can store lots of stuff if you remove the rear seats. Also, in Japan they sell hybrid Fits (or Jazz) and also AWD Fits (Jazz)

[@billinglot4670]

Try buying a used FIT from the last two model years used in 2022 and you will pay the original sticker or more. Its a crime they are selling the new FIT everywhere in the world but the US .

[@richsweeney1115]

So just buy an older one...my wife has an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport w 202k and it runs like new and has barely needed anything but maintenance.....you don't need new. You can find the.w 80k miles fairly cheap. And you'll still get another 200k miles or more before it needs any major work

[@islanddolphin6878]

I bought my 13 fit sport last year with 42k miles on it for $14,500 and love it. Scotty did a video on how bad the fits made in the last couple years were because of the "dream" something technology and cheaper parts. There's been all kinds of problems with them including stopping while on the freeway. If I were you I would buy an older honda fit. I think scotty did a video on good years for buying fits and save yourself the money buying an inferior new product.

I have an '09 Fit Sport with 5 speed manual. I am not exactly a small guy, but honestly it is easier to get into and out of than my wife's Accord. And it gets in the high 30s to over 40 mpg. And you can into any parking spot.
