The cupholder next to the steering wheel. This little design feature says everything about the Honda Fit. You can tell that this little car was created by a group of designers, engineers and marketing pros who understood their goal. From the styling, to the engine, to the transmission, to the chassis, to the suspension, to the cabin space, to the storage space, to the A/C controls, to the steering wheel cupholder. Everything works and makes sense. This is a "No B.S." car that is possibly the greatest compact car ever built.

[@justinvillarreal9457]

My 2011 came with 10 cup holders. So that 5 peeps can be double fisted. 😂

[@janebozinovski5005]

The cupholder is also in front of the A/C vent, so you can keep your drink cool/warm. Genius.

[@pawkyweasel]

You just wrote a poem about my new car. ✊🏽

[@austincouto4652]

The Fit isn't just a car, it's a living space. I just drove mine across Canada and didn't miss a beat. The GOAT of the subcompacts. Lol I work at a Honda Dealer and so many of us have Fits because we know.

[@AmongUs-mb4qx]

Should I say it's one size that *fits* all?

[@lunde28]

Had one for 11 years. In several stats it has shown to be one of the most reliable cost effective cars ever

[@ojinchung]

Had a 2009 until Jan of this year! I drove it for 9 years and only had to really switch tires and do oil changes. Dad drove it for another 6 years until he was rear ended. Did multiple cross country trips in that thing packing it with like 7-800 pounds of stuff. Great fuel efficiency even when loaded down. Also had a great time on twisty roads

[@davidevans4089]

Impossible to disagree with your comment.

[@DaytonaRoadster]

mine had 399,949 miles on it when i traded it in, DAMN good car

[@Psythik]

Damn shame it's so slow, though. I once raced a Fit in a Ford C-Max -- a *hybrid,* mind you -- and it wasn't even a competition. The Fit was left in the dust. For anyone reading this and considering a Fit: If you want a fun, cheap, *fast* car, consider getting a Genesis Coupe 3.8 instead. Independent rear suspension with limited slip, available in a 6-speed manual, cheap as hell to maintain, and literally *twice* as much horsepower, all for under $10K.

haha I guess so. I have an 08 fit. If I got in a wreck and they gave me 10k for it, I don't think I would pickup another fit. Its reliable and small, just like soooo many other cars.

[@imnitguy]

2007 base, auto, paint sucks (light blue) but I quit caring what other people think about me a long time ago. It has 75k miles and it runs and drives perfectly. I did have to charge the AC but otherwise no issues. And it wasn't leaking it was just low because the thing is 15 years old. Paid $6k two years ago. Haul pinball machines with it. Might buy a newer one when my daughter getr her license in a year or two.

[@ethanwasme4307]

got another 200k in it bro

[@tedium37]

My elderly dad had a 2012 5 speed to tow behind the RV. I drove it several times and it had the sweetest, lightest shifting manual stick ever. Made the Subaru I had at the time feel like a tractor by comparison.

[@nope1918]

A Subaru pretty much is a tractor by comparison. There are definitely benefits to having a small engine and FWD, but there's also benefits to having a large(r) engine and AWD. Depends on what you want/need. I actually got my first Subaru a few years ago mostly because I was tired of having FWD in the winter. If I had the space/money I'd probably get a Fit or something similar for summer driving though.

[@GoofysBandit]

Hondas manual transmissions are ridiculously smooth along with their clutches. On well taken care of vehicles, you literally cannot get them to stall. You can practically just drop the clutch with no gas, and it will catch anyways and start pulling you along in 1st gear like nothing happened. Lol

[@glypnir]

I think my gen 2 Fit is the best engineered car I’ve ever owned. I think it’s harder to do a cost effective compact car than a super car. Putting the gas tank under the front seat has big benefits for load space. I like Honda’s emphasis on handling, even for utilitarian vehicles like this one. The engine is remarkably responsive and flexible. Overall it’s a real pleasure to drive. I find myself wishing for a higher gear at high speeds, but I tell myself it’s a Honda, I likes to rev.

[@chzcake44s]

Having the tank there also makes it very, very easy to replace to fuel pump (speaking from experience)

[@jasonv5790]

I absolutely LOVE my 2018 Fit Sport (manual). Everything about the car just makes sense. Styling is good, gas mileage is great, power is just enough, practicality is on point. Plus there are no quirky little flaws that you usually find on other cars. The Honda FIt is a "no B.S." compact car. I drive mine with pride - even when all of my peers in the office drive high end german cars, lifted off roaders and expensive electric cars.

[@imnitguy]

I know right? I have a 2007 base with a horrible paint job at this point. I paid $6k for it and it was a one owner grandma car with 68k miles. I use it to pick up pinball machines - yeah full sized commercial pinball machines. I might drive 500 miles round trip. I just did this a couple weeks ago. It cost me $56 in gas. Oh and it is water proof, unlike my Tacoma pickup which was my other option. It would have cost me 2-3x as much and then there are the elements..

[@JackMfutureproof]

Great video, although the Fit has always had a torsion beam rear axle. Low floors and lots of cargo space would make it difficult to use anything else

[@cobywilliams7332]

@Liam Tomlin lol old civics and integras have torsion beam rear and torsion bar front... for handling its terrible, but I find the driving dynamics to be really fun!

[@SI0AX]

@@cobywilliams7332 Not the 90's era Civics and Integras. Those have Independent frond and rear suspension. It's the 2000's era that got McPherson strut front but rear was still IRS. Not sure when the changed the rear to torsion bean but McPherson front is still a down grade.

[@chasetryon3870]

We have two Honda Fit, my wife´s 2019 and my 2009. After many years owning and driving different cars, from VW Golfs and Fiat Unos to Ford Mondeos and Honda Accords, I have to say that Fit is the perfect car: spacious, reliable, great mileage, comfortable and full of clever solutions. Maybe one of the best cars I´ve ever had.

I live in Wollongong, Australia. I bought my trusty Honda Jazz (Fit) in 2006. I have always updated my cars every 10 years. Not my Jazz. After test driving several small cars at that time, I decided to stick with my Jazz. Even though it is now over 15 years old, it is still comfortable, reliable, cheap to run. I have it serviced twice a year and, and, apart from tire and battery changes when necessary, it has never given me any trouble. I would recommend it to anyone. It now has over 180,000km on it and it still runs beautifully. Thanks for your video on what makes it so great. I totally agree.

[@jasonbw3581]

Hello from another in the 'Gong. We bought our Jazz (Fit) second hand as the small safe fun car for our daughter. Its been perfect! It's a Honda so it's 85,000ks means it's 'just' run in. :) First post put it perfectly, the little cup holder beside the kerb view glass just screams smart design to me.

Well said Lyn. We're in Tassie daily-driving our 2006 GD Jazz. It has the red dot over the J, so it's the 1.3 engine with two spark plugs per cylinder. I didn't want this version, but the market was tight when looking to buy last year. It's a fun little gadget on our roads, and will tide us over until the CRX is restored!

An amazing automobile. Went to Home Depot with my son’s car to pick up a washer and a dryer. When two of the staff rolled out the merchandise and asked which is my car I simply replied ‘ it’s the black one’, just so happened I was parked next to a black SUV. When they erroneously placed the items by the hatch of the Suburban I casually strolled over to the Fit raising the hatch door, ‘ sorry gentlemen, it’s the other black one’. They both looked at each, smiled and politely burst into laughter. ‘ I don’t think it’s going to work, Sir’, ‘Well, why don’t we give it a shot’ I uttered with utmost confidence. They weren’t laughing or smiling few minutes later with the cargo loaded and the hatch fully closed without any assist from bungee cords or rope. They were floored into the very same spot where they loaded the Fit as I was pulling away after of course tipping them and waved back with a smile and a chuckle.

My 2017 EX-L is my dream car, and I've owned many sporty and higher end cars. Those expenses came to a halt. "Enough" power, refined CVT, 40 mpg, tons of room, fits like a glove, all the amenities, very reliable and feels incredible at both high and low speed or just parallel parking. Progress sway bar and the best tires I could find absolutely rip the corners, and the steering feel is like from an S2000 or civic si. Hard to describe why it feels so "right" and convenient, because it's lots of little things that come together that make it so satisfying for the price.

[@BrandonRauser]

The Fit really is amazing. Drove a 3rd gen for 3ish years and its handling was amazing. The steering is tight and direct and it'll go exactly where you tell it to. The biggest weakness in terms of handling comes when there's a large crosswind, in icy conditions it means you'll have to be doing a lot of counter-steering if you catch a gust of wind. However that tight handling means I never once ditched the thing even in the worst winter storms. Its really a shame Honda never made an entry into the World Rally Championship with one of these, because the base platform is so amazing. Someday I'll buy a manual fit and turn it into a rally car, but that might be tough because most people who bought them want to hang onto them.

Wouldn't be a bad investment to try to make a rally car out of one. In the video they mentioned a Honda Fit won the 2WD class in the 2012 Australian Rally Championship with a GE8 model Fit. Also with a K24 swap these cars can run 0-60 in less than 6 seconds on the naturally aspirated motor around 220HP. That's really impressive considering the Type R Civic gets there in just under 5 seconds with a turbocharged motor and LSD. These cars make excellent track cars for a budget, feels like the EG Civic platform since these car bodies are readily available and more affordable than some of the 90s Civic chassis which are disappearing into junkyards.

My brother bought a Honda Fit a year ago as his daily and after seeing the way it drives I became interested in these cars. I love the hatch style, the interior, the exterior, and the way it handles. As an 8th gen Civic Owner it made me feel right at home and both of those cars remind me why I love Honda so much ^_^

[@BehindTheMustche]

I’ve owned two Fits. 2009 and 2013. I’ve driven cars in between some luxury and race worthy between my ownerships, like a Mustang, Corvette, Mailibu, Jeep (Compass and Wrangler), Ultimata, Golf GTIs, and minor encounters of Kias and Cadillac (idk the specific models); but everytime I’ve driven anything other than a Fit, I end up missing the Fit in anyway shape or form. In terms of practicality and everyday use it’s the most fun to drive. The Fits I’ve driven have incredible handling and fun residential speeding. It legit makes driving around suburbs feel like a Mario Kart track. There’s something fun and special about that. It takes something mundane into excitement. Other cars really lack that. Either it’s too luxury to be fun or too quick to enjoy residential driving. The only car that’s fun, besides the Fit, is the Golf. Since it has some similar qualities when driving, but the engineering is so overthought and not straightforward and takes time to adjust. BUT REALLY the Fit is the best because it feels like a go kart and is more affordable/luxurious than it’s counterparts. It’s the perfect fit between practical, luxury, and speed. I’d recommend to anyone

I once took a 1996 Hyundai Accent GT on a road trip and the thing was zippy, handled like a go cart and got 50MPG going 75 with the AC cranked. I didn't believe the result so I made the same calculation with the next tank...49MPG.

It was an amazing thing: impeccably designed, incredibly reliable, fun despite all of its shortcomings, and did everything I asked of it.

I remember the first time the Honda Fit (Jazz here in europe) hit the market. It was a huge success and was bought by the masses. Now there have been many cars which initially had big sales numbers but after 20+ years or so I barely seen them on the road anymore, either because of unreliability, high maintenance costs, rust, etc. The Fit is a completely different story though. I still see many 1st gen Fits driving around all the time, and despite their age they are extremely reliable and people are super happy with them.

Great video, I drive a GE8 Sport 5MT and its a great drive indeed, and with insane space to booth (fun fact the GE8 in at least the US spec has 10 cupholders for 5 occupants) some points to mention though: ALL generations of Fit have torsion beams (even the newest one, its how they get the floor so low+ cost effective for subcompact cars) the USDM GD and GE have different front and rear ends vs JDM because of a Canadian 5mph bumper law sticking until 2009. this means the USDM cars of those two gens are much longer and cannot be easily converted to JDM without much effort there exists a version of the GE8 in Japan with a 6 speed manual+hybrid 1.5l taken right from the CRZ (also built on fit bones) but also 200 lbs lighter than a regular CRZ. it is the GE8 Mugen RS hybrid the 4th gen Fit/jazz is no longer offered with a manual, but to alleviate it, honda offers the city hatchback in place of the fit in certain ASEAN markets, with a carryover L15B from the GK, and a 6 speed manual option honda sold and still sells Fits with AWD albeit cvt only

[@NGRosales]

Not many people expect a sub compact car to be able to accelerate, and handle like these do but it's all props to honda, a manufacture built on making it's customers happy. If we weren't happy we wouldn't keep buying the same brand, and trust me I've owned just about every basic daily brand out there, Nissan hated it 2015 went through 3 transmissions in 2 months... pontiac was okay brake system was shit, kia known for being killed in action blowing the motor, VW I loved my jetta only reason I sold it was due to medical issue keeping me from using my left leg to push down so couldn't press clutch.
