Used Honda Fit for Sale in New York, NY

I leased the Fit for my school-age daughter her senior year, but ended up driving it myself when she went away for a summer internship and then college. This was the fourth Honda I owned ('82 Civic, 2002 Odyssey van, and 2012 Pilot), so obviously I am a fan of their cars, though this may have been my least favorite. Under the hood, I never had any problems with the engine; runs like a top. But I will say that it is seriously underpowered. This was not a big concern for my new-diver daughter who picked the car and I suppose underpowered is better than overpowered for a kid (though I am of the school that minimum power is actually safer) but it was pretty underwhelming to drive. There also is a notecable pause when you first hit the accelerator, which is probably related to some sort of fuel economy feature. Handling is reasonably tight. The interior is functional and quiet, though not terribly beautiful. Fuel economy was very good, but my single biggest complaint is the range. The thing has a REALLY small fuel tank so, notwithstanding the good mileage, it seemed like I was always stopping for gas. Not fun! There also was an issue with the trim on the hatch. It may have been because it was a very cold day, but I was trying to open the hatch and my hand slipped from the (tiny) lever on the back and struck the flimsy plastic cowling that covered the handle and it snapped. Poor design and quality, and I am sure I will get dinged for it when I hand the lease in.

I have been driving this car for a little over ten years as my daily driver. I have had it in high school, until now with two children. This car couldn't have been any better to me. I have had very few problems with it, mostly just normal Honda issues. First thing I had to do was change the spark plugs because a bad neighbor at the time had peed in my gas tank. The coils also had to be replaced a couple of times due to the bad plugs. We also had to change the catalytic converter and head gasket. Good thing this car is easy to work on and parts are cheap! The drivers side axle also had to be replaced...but did I mention that this thing has 168,000 ,miles on it? Not too many repairs for that many miles! Does well with tires and brakes if you're a gentle driver. Fuel mileage is excellent but the ride could be better. The car is incredibly roomy for being so small, and tall people can sit comfortably. The seats are very firm, but the material is awesomely plush and easy to clean. Car seats are tough to fit in comfortably. Can only put two car seats in the back seat...max! Overall I would buy another 2007 Honda Fit in a heartbeat.
