Honda Fit (2009 - 2014) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought a 2009 Honda Fit Sport to replace a 2013 Honda Fit, which I regretted selling. Since 2009 was the year Honda increased the number of cup holders to 10, I am at a loss to identify any real differences between the two interiors. The only thing missing is a spare key, which apparently was misplaced along the way. In summary, from personal experience I find the 2009 Fit an ideal fit for someone looking for an affordable, big on the inside small car.Oct 03, 2021

Our 2009 Honda Fit has been a fun reliable companion since we bought it new. Our Fit has been a commuter car, pet transporter, cargo hauler, RV TOAD, and weekend getaway enabler. Honda did a wonderful job designing the "magic" rear seats. With the seats in their upright position you can "fit" two actual adults in the back of the car without the front seat passengers having to eat the super long dash. With the rear seats fully collapsed into the floor, the "fit" transforms into a wonderfully roomy cargo/pet hauler with a flat floor. Sure our little four cylinder automatic Fit could use a bit more power and it does get a bit buzzy on the highway, but it's hard to beat our experience of 36mpg average with a mix of city and highway driving. Handling is decent, although feedback is a bit numb, and braking is respectable, if a bit spongy at times. One feature in the automatic sport is the ability to "sport shift" the automatic using F1 style steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. This feature can be slightly amusing but at the end of the day is a bit of a waste of time since the shifting isn't especially crisp when using the paddle shifters and the little four banger, while providing admirable fuel economy, is a bit buzzy and under-powered. At the end of the day we love our little Honda Fit. For us it simply "Fit"s our lifestyle and needs.Sep 27, 2012

I have the Manual Transmission in mine and i think it responds a whole lot better then the Auto Transmission...I test drove both and I was happy with what I got. I love the very versitile way you can configure the interior to Fit almost what ever you need. I get about 38 MPG avg but I also like to get on the gas.. but you can easily get 40+ MPG out of this car. Aug 18, 2011

Snappy little car once you get the rpm's up and the paddle shifters make it a blast in the turns will still maintaining the around town driveability. The intereior is fun and has the essentials plus some extra's. Stereo is rockin! Car handles really well for stock and with little mods it will handle amazing. Intake, exhaust and stiff stuff and this car would be wicked fun. Goood value for the price. Sep 04, 2010

The Honda Fit is a great little car. It handles well, accelerates well for a 4v engine and brakes great. It's pure Honda quality. Although it's a compact, there is a lot of leg room and is very comfortable for a family of 4. The rear seats fold down so the cargo space is comparable to the Element but seats 5 instead of 4, is less $ and great on gas.Dec 04, 2009

I'm 6'2" and 290 pounds. Getting in and out of most subcompacts is a torture for me. Not so with the Fit. I can easily enter and exit this little car. after getting in it is a dream to drive. Very peppy and not nearly as much road noise as I was led to believe. The voice control for the audio and Navigation system is sweet. Much better than I'd hoped for. Country roads love this car as it carves curves like a good sport motorcycle without the lean. The seats surprised me with their comfort on extended trips. At my size they are still quite good. Not a lot of saddle sores afterward. I have the Sport and the suspension is a little bumpier than a full sized auto but since I traded in a 3/4 ton pickup for this, the ride to me is quite smooth. All around I love it. Oh...did I mention the 38 MPG it's giving me when driving it to and from work? Apr 02, 2009
