2007 Honda Fit Sport review from North America
"Great car for college kids -- super reliable looks good :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My brother and I each have a Fit Sport with A/T. His has water leaking in through the antenna in the back. Honda hasn't been willing to fix.
The screws in which the plastic body kits attach to the rest of the cars are cheap. Both of our front left fenders constantly "pop out" and need to push the pieces back into place by hand.
Gas mileage has gone down in the past year, not sure why... annoying, but still not that bad.
The seats are not easy to clean... Have a muddy Foxhound that jumps in the car with me... wish the cargo area was plastic or something more durable...
General comments?
The car is very peppy. Seriously lacking in HP... can't get up a hill without flooring it. The car is light and gets caught in crosswinds very easily.
Though fun to drive on highway with paddle shifters, it runs a little too high in rpms when set to drive manually with paddle shifts.
Long drives very uncomfortable... I feel like a t-rex b/c the steering wheel is too far away.
Center console is needed... arm rest? Somewhere to put miscellaneous things?
Great Leg Room! only 5'7 but whole family is 6ft+ and they have no problem getting in.
Sound system is very good for the price, and the keyless entry/ anti-theft is quality too.
Like I said, quite peppy for zipping around the burbs, but not meant for long hauls nor hilly areas.
