I have owned this car for three years and have never had an issue mechanically. The interior has held up well through the early stages of my child's life and through having three puppies transported in it. While the MPG is a little lacking compared to other options in this price range, I felt like it was a good decision for my needs outside of commuting. For instance, the back seats are able to not only fold down, but to swing up. I've often avoided requiring a truck to haul larger items because I can maneuver them into this car easily. I have often been amazed at what can fit in this compact car. The only negative I would give this specific make is that it comes with paddle shifters that can be used in "Sport Mode". I hardly use this feature since it is more of a novelty, and I would have had better fuel economy going with the standard edition. Otherwise, this is a very affordable, reliable vehicle. I intend to continue using this car for the next 10 years minimum.

I have a 2009 Honda Fit Sport, with the manual transmission. I bought the car not knowing how to drive stick, and while I think it is a good car, I also don't recommend it to learn stick with. While it is peppy and gets great gas mileage, I find that the pedals are in awkward positions for me and don't have a ton of feel. It is fun to drive though, the shifter feels nice, and the magic seat in the back is awesome. I could probably sleep back there if I wanted. Styling isn't for everyone, but it has grown on me.
