If Honda would have made a Fit SI with a K20 motor, six speed manual transmission, decent suspension and weight reduction and then priced it under $20K. I truly believe it would've been one of the best affordable sports off all time.

I can fit 8 foot long 2x4s (lumber) in the car with the front seat folded back and the rear seat folded down, wheel well to hatch back. This car has more usable room inside than many full sized suv. I once pulled up to a store where my wife had just bought a carpet. A random guy was laughing to himself, that I thought that carpet roll was going to fit in my car. We throw it in and drove away. It's like the old clown car thing where 12 clowns pile out of a tiny car!

I got a 2007 5-speed base model here in Canada, she's hit 250,000km and runs like a champ (or 155,000 miles if you are from the US) I recently threw an upper strut tower bar in here and I gotta admit, its probably one of the best things I did to that car, it helped tighten her front end cornering stability a bit, less wobble feel. She may be a beater by this point with the rust and rougher shape of her paint, but she's one hell of a trooper!

I am original owner of an '08 Fit Sport with manual transmission. Solved the armrest problem as soon as I bought the car with an aftermarket one from eBay, which is still in the car. I have 135,000 mi, and changed the clutch at 125,000. I left the car stock, and beat the hell out of it. It's bulletproof mechanically, but the plastic parts are cheap, and break. I'm waiting for a Mazda MX5 RF 100 year anniversary 6 speed manual to arrive from Japan, but I'm keeping my Fit. It owes me nothing, and will go way past 300,000 mi. It's still a blast to drive. Yeah, slow car fast; just got to know how to squeeze the most out of that 7200 rpm red line.

I have an 07 Honda fit works great haven’t had too many issues with it it’s coming up to 400,000 kms now. The only major repairs new struts and shocks new AC compressor because the clutch went so I changed the unit out. Ignition coils. Ignition cylinder finally wore out. Just took it out and remove the tumblers and the springs.Works great that way you can remove the key and lock the doors and leave it run. There’s still a chip in the key so nobody can start it with a screwdriver so it works for me. I think I’m on my third set of front brake pads just change the calipers out on the front and the rear brakes are original. Thank God for rear drum brakes no disk for me on the back too many issues. And I change the intermediate pipe recently because it finally rotted out. One battery one alternator starter still works great.Unusual tires and oil changes. i follow the maintenance minder hasn’t let me down yet. I guess I’ve done a fair bit of work to it but it’s also got 400,000 km on it how many cars last that long.

@JamesFWClark 3 года назад

I have a 2007 Honda Fit Sport that I purchased with 22K miles. I now have 117K miles and the only thing I have had major repair on was the AC unit ($1500). The clutches on these vehicles last a long time if they are properly adjusted and you use them properly. With the 2007, leaks develop in the rear where the hatchback hinge swivels, allowing rain water to drain of all places in the spare tire well and slosh into the back seat floor. There is at least one RU-vid video on how to fix this problem but it is to simply to apply fresh silicone seal near the hinges where the roof meets the side panels. Beforre this car, I had a 1990 Honda Civic wagon with the same power train (1500 cc engine and 5 speed manual) . I purchased the car in Chicago with 204K miles on it and I drove it until I sold it to my friend's son with 280K miles. The power train never needed any work but the body did rust out due to the salt use in Chicago. My current Fit is located in Tampa FL and rust is not a problem here.

@richardhulton8894 9 месяцев назад

the rear hatch is known to leak around the hinges, the sealer they used at the factory (under the paint) cracks and it leaks. get a tube of clear silicon and glob it on around any cracks you can find near the rear hatch hinges. this fix will be invisible when the hatch is closed and it will cost you less than twenty bucks. I did mine ten years ago and my spare tire area is still dry. good luck!

@brotherbax4083 2 года назад

I bought a 2nd gen (2013) manual base model brand new and had the armrest/console installed. Thought it would be for my kids to drive (and learn stick). Changed jobs and it became my commuter. 114K miles later and I still love it. No mods at all, but Like you said, “it’s slow car fast.” Short wheelbase whips around like a go cart and I drive it like I stole it every day. Had a warranty service on a pilot bearing at 30K, but I think I’m still on the original clutch. Rev match downshifts, heel toe corners, and neutral at the red lights and it has lasted forever. Best little car ever!

@thelastsaiyan9036 3 года назад

I got mine last March used from the dealer. It's the sport edition so I already had to replace the clutch plate and flywheel. Also had a replace the front stabilizers. But that's all I've done. It's around 125,000 miles and seems like it's going to be going a lot more. It is kind of hard to find the parts for it at times such as the air filter or any body replacement parts but hauling a 75 in Samsung in the back as well as my old lady stove, really sold me on a hatchback. And holy s***, I can see everything from any angle. I cannot drive other cars as well now because I feel like I'm stifled with the small ass back windows. The car gets me some flack from people who don't know but I wouldn't give up this space for anything

@richsweeney1115 2 года назад

Yours was beaten. We have an orange 09 fit 5spd sport. 200k and it has the original clutch. I've never heard of the clutch going at low milage...this one has barely needed anything but maintenance, and runs excellent. My wife works for GrubHub some nights,and she does a lot of stop and go with deliveries, the car has paid for itself in the last 2 years she's done grub with it, we love it.. parts aren't hard to find, I got an air filter for ours at AutoZone. I did tie rod ends, stabilizer links, but that was at like 186k , and it was because our roads suck. Also did pads and rotors and calipers, didn't have a problem finding parts . Anyone who makes fun of the fit is ignorant

@myducks911 3 года назад

The first gens had their fair share of problems. I have a second gen (13) and it is my first car. The biggest (and only) problem I’ve had so far is the right front caliper seized up and dug a groove in the rotor. I was already planning on replacing the rotors and pads anyway so I already had the replacements. Honda put them on with a new caliper, cost around $350. Though that can happen to any vehicle, the caliper retained too much fluid. It’s a very reliable car, I mean, it is a Honda of course 😉

Some of the things I'd keep ina center console, I leave in the glove box in my Fit, like my sunglasses, extra pair of headphones, maintenance record notebook, etc. That maybe enough for you. I also have a shoebox-sized plastic bin directly behind the passenger seat that holds kleenex, a trash bag, some reusable grocery bags, and other things that are too big for the glove box but I want them to be handy. I leave the backseats folded down all the time because I rarely have passengers and I sit back there on my breaks at work, so the bin just sits directly behind the passenger seat in arm's reach. The lid is velcro-d to the back of the seat so it doesn't move around a lot. That may not work for you, but it's what I do.

@christopherjohnston6343 2 года назад

When I met my girlfriend 5 years ago she had a Honda Fit. It was a CVT, had a reedy little 1.3L engine and looked kind of dumpy like a van. I wrote it off then. 5 years and two kids later I'm finally looking to get a 1.5 Sport for myself. I like the way small cars drive and realistically there's nothing more practical than a Honda Fit with the way the magic seats can be configured. They are also set up firm enough from the factory that they are basically a wheel and tyre swap away from having extremely nimble handling. Their servicing is a little bit more expensive but we have had zero unexpected fixes over 100,000kms. Fuel economy is a 6.8L/100km average for the 1.5 my parents now run and the 1.3 struggles to go above 6.5L/100kms even in Town. This little car won me over in a big way.

I saw a 2009 manual with 99k on it a year ago before prices skyrocketed. My mazda 3 was totalled insurance gave me 3,700. I traveled 200 miles to NJ seeing car for sale for $3600. My wife called where are u? NJ....she said WTF? BOUGHT IT ON THE SPOT for $3600 full asking. Took train from Boston next day to NJ and seller picked me up at train station and I drove it home. 1yr later NO problems other than A/C clutch failure (known common) which I replaced. Its my Work car and Get this! I avg 45mpg. Love this car!

Got a call from a sheriff outside minneapolis about an old guy in a small blue honda. Pulled him over on suspicion of dwi. It was my 91 yr old father in law who will no longer be driving. He's safe at his home now although he doesnt know it. Point is i suddenly find myself driving this Honda Fit after dark, guage on "E", no station for many miles, windows and headlights caked with road salt, and i needed to get it home. Did i mention im 6'4"? It was a blast to drive other than my white nuckles to find a pump. Wife and i had planned to shop Subarus. But i had plenty of leg room in the Fit and the guage read 40.1mpg. Why not!

I’m driving my third Honda Fit (2008, 2013 and 2018. I view my Honda Fit a little differently. I’m not looking for power and speed, I’m looking for better gas mileage. In my fits I’ve (with my dog) driven to Gettysburg down the east to Louisiana. We’ve driven to The Little Big Horn, The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone. We’ve driven the West Coast 16 times. There are other trips. We are able to do this because with a little hypermileing we can average 43 to 45 mpg. Oh... it doesn’t hurt that I can sleep in the back (diagonally) while my dog sleeps in the drivers seat. Our road trips are great.

I have a first gen 2007 Honda Fit with a manual transmission and am the original owner. It currently has 138,000 kms. It's been a great car but have had a couple of issues. Clutch crapped out at 80,000 kms and original battery didn't last that long. I'm very surprised that not many people have mentioned about how bad the 2007 & 2008's leak!! Vapor barriers in both back doors fail and the two back footwells are always wet. Also, the spare tire wheel well fills up with water, which enters from the roof after the sealant goes bad. Other than that, I love the car and will drive it into the ground!!

@coreyang08 2 года назад

Same year Fit as yours, automatic and when it rains... the next day you could hear water splashing around in the spare tire wheel well. I believe it was improperly welded at the seam from the get-go for the 07 models and since it's not really considered a safety issue, Honda never bothered doing a recall on it. I use clear sealant to seal up the visible crack lines and let it cure overnight and that kept rain water out since two yrs ago.

I have a 2008 base model. Love it! But...have any of you experienced a metallic squeal on a cold start. Mine has been doing this for a long, long time. Taken it to many, many mechanics and no one can find a cause. It starts fine. Just wanting to know if any of you fit owners have experienced this. Thanks!

@LaplacianFourier 3 года назад

I have a 2010 sport and it did that last winter for a while after I got some recall fixes. I gave the dealers a hard time about it. It seems to have gone away so I attribute it to cold weather. It did it only at the first start up of the day.

@gandalf0987 3 года назад

I bought a used 2008 fit last week. Sometimes I get the squeal but only after the vehicle has been off for a while (like in the morning for example). it does this most times, but not always. I have not looked into it yet, so I'm not sure how serious it is.

@BlueChrysalis 3 года назад

Mine started out just in cold weather but now it does it year round. But again only it it sit for several hours. Odd.

Bought a 2007 Fit sport two years ago with 78K miles and it has the same squeal you are talking about, lasts for a second or two and goes away. I believe it has something to do with the starter and I might just look into it and either replace the worn part inside the starter or just replace with a new one and get it done and over with. Other than that.. it's a great reliable little compact car and extremely good on gas!

I loved my 2008 Honda Fit Sport so much ( except color, I hated the color) that I just traded it in for 2013 White ( which I love) basic model which so far, I really like. It was fast fun to drive good on gas and as every one points out, it had tons of cargo space and high ceilings. Besides the color, all was good except for the five years I owned it, the catlytic converter engine code was so off and on I never knew what my strtegy was going to be to pass smog. After research, one time, I bought 4 ignition coils and paid some guy to put them in in my driveway which fast. Code was there when he started, it was not there after he was done. I drove around hard and fast for about 30 minutes and passed smog. I think there was another problem beside the CAT but could never figure it out. I loved to drive it..I loved the cargo room in it and the gas milage which is why when I seen the white one, I new I had to get it. And Ford's gave me 1200 for a trade in and I swear, I would never been able to sale it for that.

You can always sell it for more than a trade in . What color was it

@papi-champoo6033 3 года назад

Some fits do come with a center console, aftermarket parts are not huge to choose from for this model of Fit. They only really sell just axel back exhaust for this not the entire catback exhaust, I only seen one company that makes an entire exhaust system for this model. Coilovers are almost non existent and lowering springs are slim pickings. They are nice just the way they are and you can also upgrade your battery to a 51R which would be a tight fit (no pun intended). It is very roomy for its size and a decent car to own.
