I love this car! If you are in the market for a Fit, you are probably getting it for the gas mileage, and this thing delivers! Mine is a manual, and I really try to push the efficiency by taking advantage of the transmission. I get about 40mpg combined driving for my commute. On long trips I can push well above 45mpg and approach 50mpg if I really work at it. It's also surprisingly roomy. I had an early 90s Camry before this, and the interior room feels a bit bigger in the Fit. I definitely have more head room at least. The back seat is also really configurable. The seats go down for extra storage in the trunk, and they also go up to put tall things in the back seat. Ride is smooth and quiet, and my family of 4 sits very comfortably. I've carried 5 as well, but I wouldn't do it for long distances. Reliability is supposed to be good, but I haven't had the car long enough to really know personally. The only things I don't really like about it is the seating capacity and some confusion about the stereo system. You really can't sit more than 4 adults comfortably. 3 Kids in the back works fine, but don't try 3 adults. Also, the stereo has an AUX button, but at my trim level, it doesn't work. No big deal, but the estimate to get it working is pretty high. I wish the button was blank as it makes me sad to look at it every day. Pretty small issues, though.

Everything has gone well, I have never had it break down on me, and dealing with Honda has been great also.
