2007 Honda Fit Sport AT from North America - Comments

Nothing has really gone wrong with the car. It's running perfectly. The dealer (Excel Honda) somehow "waxed" the outside plastic on the back doors on the rear window frame and the sun brought out the waxy white. I will talk to the dealer as it is the only "mark" on this otherwise perfect car.

The FIT is fantastic! I still have a Pontiac Aztek and it's a perfect complement to our family fleet!

We now have two modern "wagons" and the Fit is our favorite to drive! I recently took it to Toronto from Montreal and it was a great drive both ways. The only issue is the rather firm seats that made our bottom's a little sore from the 5 hour plus ride.

The stereo is quite impressive and the AUX connector is much appreciated for my iPod, laptop and portable DVD.

We are a family of four and still this little mini-marvel can handle most of our daily needs. We had first seen it in Barbados, where friends of ours have had one for a few years. We couldn't believe how all their gear and kids could be so well served and knew that if it came to North America that we would consider one.

I am a little disapointed with the gas mileage though. I was hoping for a more efficient engine from Honda. With the current climate of raising fuel costs, any improvement would be welcome. If Honda made a hybrid version or a Diesel, I would trade up to that in the FIT body for sure! If a super sport version (aka Tuner car) would be offered from Honda, it would certainly be a hit!

Thank you Honda for finally having the right car at the right time for us!

You mentioned that the gas mileage could be better. I wish as part of that comment that you would have told me what gas mileage you were getting.

A good seat cushion will solve the problem with the seats on a long road trip. I am using a cushion designed for a patio chair.

Isn't 1300km (700 miles or so) a bit early to do a review on a car?. You should live with it for 20,000 miles (35,000km) before you can properly evaluate it. Try breaking your engine in for 10,000km before you complain about the fuel economy.
