@@shujahchaudhary2329 So are the sport models. They just don't have all that extra styling and I don't believe they have the upgraded suspension either. Not upgraded in the same way as the SI at least. The sport 1.5t is a good option if you want the 5 door hatch since the SI doesn't come in that body.

Alright, I actually put my money where my mouth is and bought a 2018 fit EX. It passes the visor test, has sat radio (which I never use), and the full compliment of sensors that do lane keep assist and automatic collision avoidance, all with a fun and easy to use 6-speed manual. All of your points are valid, and for the US market, I think this was the last of the era of good economy cars offered here before the era of electrification.

and the HRV is hideous and more expensive. It is a pointless car trying to capitalize on the cross-over craze. What a waste of R&D resources. They should have put that resource into making a Fit Type-R or SI, way more people will buy a $25-30k performance Fit than an HRV.

I regularly drive a Fit EX and a HR-V EX and the HR-V is like a more refined Fit. It is quieter in every aspect and rides smoother, there is definitely a place for it! I also had access to a 2017 Civic EX and it reminded me a lot of the HR-V, it's like having the comfort and refinement of a civic with the practicality of a Fit. On paper it seems silly but you have to experience both sides to truly understand why such a car exists!

Straight Pipes has turned this 62-year-old dude into a kid again. Even changed my avatar to the 69 GOAT I used to roll in. And I wasn't offended by you young whippersnappers in your last video when you talked about old man with knee replacement regarding the clutch, even though I had a left knee replacement and can't clutch anymore (also got both hips replaced, so there's something else I'm limited at as well ;-)) Oh, regarding "manual vs stickshift", Jakub's right. My 69 GTO was a 4-speed manual - nobody EVER would call it a "stick shift". "Stick Shift" is what my late Dad would call the "Three on the tree" (or Column Shifter) on his Chevy Biscayne. Keep up the great work!!

My wife demanded we buy a Fit Sport back in 2008. 200k miles later I agree it was a good decision. With a handful of modifications, it's been a really fun and insanely reliable car. Motor still purrs and the manual still has a great feel. Problem is that we have outgrown under powered cars. When it came time to buy another fun hatch we went elsewhere (VW). Honda, if you're listening, I beg you to give us a Fit Si. Make it and we'll buy one tomorrow! Until then, we'll have our '08 Fit as our back up car, but will be daily driving our much faster, better handling VW. Sad for us because we'd rather be in a Honda.

Matthew Emrick Holy cow. Same here. 08 Fit. Wanted the new Fit. Was hoping for a little more power and a 6th gear that was taller then the old 5spd. Neither of those happened so ended up with a Golf. More power (especially with an APR tune), more comfort, better mpg. Kind of miss the amazing cargo room of the Fit sometimes though.

I personally think the 88kw is enough. What it needs is better gear ratios (closer from 1-3, taller for 4-6), shorter throw and more notchyness on the shifter, a better flywheel and clutch (MUCH lighter flywheel, that thing is so heavy), with suspension and brakes to match. 88kw is plenty, you just gotta get used to redlining it all day every day... Like I do in my DC2.

Hah I also drive a 2008 Fit Sport. Been looking at the current gen Golf quite a lot, but just realized the 2019 Corolla Hatchback is a thing. Went to a dealership today to take a closer look and was offered a test drive, so why not? I absolutely loved it, the shifter feels awesome and idk about the US version but all Canadian ones have standard rev-matching. Only thing is, the cargo floor is super high and so it won't haul anywhere near as much as a Fit, but it definitely looks like a great economical hatch that's fun to drive and looks great too.

My honda is a euro spec, so not the exact same one, Had it for a few months now. I have the CVT 1.3 L (102HP) version. Do NOT get the CVT. It is slow and dumb, and makes the engine feel completely gutless unless you are flooring it all the time. My car doesn't have leather stitching anywhere, but does have lane keep assist and forward collision warning, both work excellent and do not intrude too much. Beware though that the cameras take up space on the windscreen. The car is very practical and sips fuel. I can easily get over 600 km on 35 liters of fuel. It is also very practical, quite comfortable and spacious for what it is. Insurance on these is super low, so that is also a plus. It also has a huge trunk, which is a definite plus.

I traded my ‘06 element for it, although I wish I could have kept the element forever due to the simplicity and storage space, I just needed something that was economy friendly. I wish they added an overdrive gear for road trips to save even more on gas! All-in-all, it’s an amazing car!!

I have this exact model (2018 Honda fit sport, six speed manual, and it is a legitimate moving van with the magic seats folded down. I’ve even done the unthinkable and have towed a loaded 4x6 trailer a few times. …even with that *aside*, this is the *BEST* car I’d ever owned (I’ve owned many), and I intend to grow old and die with it. I bought mine new in December 2017, and have 90,000 miles on it so far. Oh, and it’s a JOY to drive. I will ALWAYS rave about it. So lucky to have it, and it’s been a SERIOUS life upgrade. If you’re thinking about getting one, you will, never, ever, ever regret it. Cheers all! 😊

But as a recent college grad, not able to finance, and commuting 110 miles a day, this little car is actually great! I have the base model, so no touch screen or fancy infotainment, and a manual transmission, just the way I like. My only concern is when winter rolls around how it'll handle the snow, but until then, I'm happy with my purchase. You get a lot for the price, and you also save on gas. I easily get 40mpg on the highway and 35 combined, even though it's rated lower.

In Mexico the Kia Rio is the most safe option in the market, because the Honda Fit only haves two airbags in the base, and the Kia Rio have six airbags in all the versions. Good video guys and greetings from Mexico. 👋😉

I like that Type R version you mocked up, but the shape is a little bit too weird for my taste. It looks like a "mini-minivan" to me because of the way the front hood is sloped. But I appreciate the simplicity and practicality of it and it will probably last a long time.

Love the video guys, but as I'm Scottish, bear in mind that here, the Honda Fit is known as the Honda Jazz. The reason is that in Scotland "Fit" means "What". Example:- What's that? - Translated "Fits that". So, if I bought the Jazz and renamed it "Fit" I would be asked numerous times "Fit is that your driving?" Reply - "Fit" Response - Sorry, I'll say that again, Fit are you driving?"... you can imagine how that would go down. Keep up the good work.

I purchased an 09 new.....it ran perfect for 8 years in NYC and until I was involved in a wreck at 185k miles....a very usable car that was reliable and easy to work on yourself. Loved the utility of 8 cup holders and being able to stick wine bottles or large bottles anywhere.....fit multiple flat screen in the back and with the seats up, very rarely had to pop the hatch for groceries....also car handles like it was on rails with only lowering springs and better tires. I wish this had 170-180hp and 170-180 tq and it would be perfect....highway merges in Georgia was when I realized the limitations of the car.

I have one of these in Helios Yellow. I have amazed people with what I haul in it: furniture, equipment, inflatable boats, hay…. I haul a 14 ft kayak on it. And I get up to 45 mpg freeway if I baby it. 42 mpg if I don’t. I didn’t want a Honda. Hondas were something to park a Jeep on. I traded my dying Mini Cooper (130 hp) in for this little Haul Anything car.

I own a 2018 Honda Fit Sport which is like a cheddar yellow color with black wheels. It's now 6 years old and has right at 40k miles. Never had a single issue. It's quite actually the only Fit Sport in its color with the wheels that it has in my entire county. The only one. And I absolutely love that. I live in a smallish southern town and I keep my Fit absolutely spotless, inside and out. People turn and look or just stare at the car trying to figure out what it is. I've had many locals ask me if it was a new type of car. Lol!

The Honda Fit to me is by far the best subcompact and has pretty much always been. What the Rio can't match is the Fit's reliability and resale value, I've also heard that repairing the Fit is cheaper than repairing a Rio, but that may just be heresay. The two cars probably cost about as much to insure as well. Also, you can get some cool Mugen stuff to outfit a Fit Sport. I like it as a great, first new car.

I test drove a Fit back in April 2006 when they first came to Canada. I loved it. The stick shift felt perfect, where the Civic of the day felt terrible. But I ended buying an Elantra because the Fit was too new and none of the dealers could get a base model quick enough to replace my 323 that was on it's last legs.

Thanks for reviewing a car that a non rich person can buy! You might already know this but the EX or higher WILL pass the visor test. Sport and lower trims don't have extending visors. Also, in EX trim (in US), you can get honda sensing features on a manual, but you lose the leather wrapped steering wheel. You guys in Canada are lucky in that Honda gives you heated seats even in the sport. In the US, you can only get heated seats in the highest EX-L trim which only comes in a CVT. :(
