Been looking for a 2012-2013 Fit Sport as a second car. Like you mentioned, I scratch my head why they discontinued this car. It’s almost magical in its efficiency and packaging. Who wants a giant SUV when you don’t need one?
Uh yeah the crossover design is competely counter intuitive to gas milage packaging, and handling. Its a shame that trends are killing the perfect design for a street commuter vehical.
I sold my Fit to get a newer hybrid, and I gotta say, going from a 2010 fit to a 2020 Ioniq seems like a huge downgrade. The Fit FEELS fast, even if its not. It gets nearly 40mpg driving conservatively, and the engine and chassis are rock solid. I highly regret purchasing the newer vehicle to be completely honest.
you should trade in the ioniq while prices are still high and then get a fit, and use all the money you saved to put a huge wing on the back and paint some flames on the side
trade it back, the biggest mistake isnt losing the fit for something you don’t enjoy as much, but it will be not getting it back after knowing the truth
its a nice car, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the engine bay being a bit small, also, need a little bit of bigger interior... but still a very solid car.
I purchased a 2009 Fit used with 6k miles that same year. Gave the car to my son in 2017 because he needed a car. Fast forward to 2021 and a hit and run driver crashed into him one evening. Car was totaled and 180K miles at that point. Lucky he was not seriously injured and all front and side air bags deployed. That car was one of the most reliable cars that I have owned in fifty years of driving. Appreciate your review.
I regret buying a Honda Jazz ! Faulty fuel pump. £1200 bill because its 4 years old. Even though their was a recall on a real lot of Hondas around the age of my one for faulty fuel pumps. Honda UK claim my one isn't affected. When it obviously is. So Honda UK are being really useless. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy another Honda car or motorcycle EVER EVER EVER again. Things go wrong sometimes, but Honda UKs abysmal response to me has meant I can never ever trust Honda again.
I had an '08 Fit for a couple years but lost it to a distracted driver who blew a red light. 😭 Even as an older, used car the Fit was a fun vehicle. I loved the paddle shifters on my Sport model!
In my humble opinion, apart from the paddle shifters, it's the most non pretentious car ever made. Magic seats are magical, and the people who consider reliability a luxury will truly appreciate this little gem of a car. I've moved houses with this car, and I doubt if I'll ever like a car better than how much I like this one. I named her Scarlett. I'll drive her to the junkyard.

I drive a 2015 Fit and it KILLS me that they killed them off in the states. It's a dream car in the city, incredibly easy to park and compared to any other car even close to it's size, it's got way more room on the inside.

We bought a 2019 at end of that year. Many great features and perks on a $20,000. car. Love it!! Being retired we have 16,000. Miles on it. Should last long time 😊
I totally agree! Currently driving a 2007 Sport Fit with about 223,000 miles. Had it for over 10 years now. It’s single handedly been the most reliable and functional car I’ve ever owned! It still fascinates me to this day.
This video had such an early 2000s feel and I loved it. Also, 100% agree with your assessment on the Fit. I never owned one but my sister did, and I envied her. I was happy in my Accord but I think I'm going to get a manual Fit from that gen once used car prices come down to better levels.
Bought a 2008 5spd Honda Fit Sport for 2K a few months ago so I could Uber/Lyft (I'm in between jobs). I thought I could just sell it when my new job starts... I think I'm going to keep it. One of the best cars I've owned (I'm in my late 40's and have owned over 20 different vehicles). Fit fits my life.
My wife bought this car... '08 5Spd about the same time my mom bought a prius. Both are still on the road - going strong and the Fit still gets better mpg than the Prius typically about 37-40 mpg. (That's odometer to gas pumped in calcs.)
Dude the flyby with the bike was the funniest visual gag I think I've ever seen in a car video, made me laugh so hard. This vid was awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was dope.
We bought our son a 2013 Fit Sport six years ago when he was in high school. He still drives the car and loves it for all the reasons mentioned in the video.
I wish Honda still made cars like this, the cargo capacity with the seats down isn't far off from smaller suvs (crv, rav4, cx5 etc) I've hauled everything from a generator, to hunting gear / deer, lumber, 10+ 5 gallon jugs of driveway sealant. its simple, insanely practical, fun to drive and "feels quick" for the price, it can't be beat. I run mine pretty hard and consistently get 30-33mpg. love filling up for less than $30 when fuel is expensive.
Just bought a 2014 Honda Jazz here in the UK. Near mint condition, one previous owner, a church going old lady, full dealer service, passed all MOTs..exceptional condition for its age - and what a joy it is to own and drive. The design of this version still looks fresh compared to the "boxer bent nose" front on the latest version.
Bought 2009 Honda fit sport new when it came out. Never broke down after driving cross country 5 times. I gave the car to my dad 3 years ago when I moved to Hawaii. Till this day the car drives strong and nothing major. The car has close to 700,000 miles.
I had a 2nd generation Honda Fit for just shy of ten years. It was a great car! I drove mine nearly 200,000 miles and across the United States several times. It was quite comfortable on long trips despite its small size and there was never an issue getting stuff into it. Heck, I have a bigger car now and I swear the trunk space in the Fit was still better. I consider the Fit to be peak Honda design. A small car on the outside with tons of room on the inside. It is really too bad people aren't interested in this kind of car anymore.
Agreed in every regard. Many wonderful stories about my 14 year old Fit but my favorite is driving from Taos New Mexico to Colorado Springs during a surprise blizzard through the mountains. I was sweating bullets and cars and many trucks were going off the road into the gutters and down the embankments left and right. I put my car in first gear and just puttered with white knuckles safely all the way to my destination, very late but very safe and it never lost its footing. I’ve moved myself cross country more times than I can count and slept many nights in the spacious cargo area to stay safe. Greatest vehicle of all time!
A friend of mine has a first gen Fit, and we round-tripped it from Eastern CT to Buffalo, NY, and back. Honestly, it performed pretty awesome, but those seats are not built for long trips. 20 hours in them will make you cry. I've done that same trip in a Del Sol and a CRV, and it's definitely not just the trip length, it's the Fit seats.
I recently just bought my first car which is a 2011 Fit. I got curious and looked up videos about it. Seeing people talk highly about it makes me feel glad to have bought the Fit and ecstatic to get it on the road :)
I have always been a Toyota fan, but bought a 2014 fit brand new, with the automatic and it has never had a mechanical issue. Almost 320,000 M. On the original automatic transmission! It truly is an amazing vehicle. Perfect for camping, traveling carrying pets or long distance trips. I love that little car
100%. I own a 2012 model and hands down the best car I've owned. The only reason I need to get a new car now is because we're expecting twins. So, definitely need something bigger. However, I've got to do my research proper. I've moved my entire house in this car. My couch, my double bed mattress and base on top of the roof, a bar fridge upright with the magic seats up or even in the boot. The only thing I wouldn't carry is my normal sized fridge. It would fit, but only if it's laying flat and I wouldn't want to risk damaging that. This car is as this man explains. Top! And 355000km on the clock.
Honda Fit is a non-rusting and modular Fiesta. It is a great car, reliable and economic. The best thing about those cars is that they handle so well with little suspension mods (torsion bar, lowering springs, wider tires, tinner sidewalls). Nice video!
I totally agree. They never got the support they needed. Absolute love this car and had three of them. I put roughly 70k on each one through all weather doing my service job.
Hi! I can confirm the statement of this video 100%. I am a Student in Germany and got the Honda Fit (in Germany it's called "Jazz") from my parents, as they got a new car. Since then I drove nearly 80'000km with it (now it has 160'000km on the clock) and it never failed me. Its engine just runs perfectly fine, though I always warm it up before floring it and I give it regular maintenance. But even in hot summer, driving on the Autobahn with 180 km/h for half an hour the engine works great and the seats are great too! The only thing to deal with is the loud engine and wind noise above 110km/h. Sure, there are some things like some lighting in the back and one window regulator broke, but other than that everything seems to be intact. The cargo space is astonishing. I now and then have to help transporting lots of or big stuff around and e.g. a freezer of 100x90x80 cm fits into it. All in all I am sure to drive this thing for many more kilometers and can highly recommend to get it, if you need a budget car that will be reliable and practical throughout time.
Fun fact... The body of the Honda Fit is what 80s/90s Honda Civics were. As Honda Civics got bigger and bigger throughout the years, the Fit was created to fill that gap for ppl that like the small hot hatchbacks. These got discontinued just like the Honda Element... Makes you think wtf was Honda thinking?
I'm currently on my 2nd Fit. 1st was maybe a 2013 model & the current one I have is the 2018 model. Loved the cupholders more in the 2013, but I love the lane watch camera on the passenger-side mirror more. Even before I had my license, I knew I wanted a Honda Fit. Love how compact it is. The year they announced hybrid models for the UK, while also announcing they were discontinuing the Fit in the US, I was very disappointed. It is by far the best car, imo. Great on gas. Great storage. Doesn't look that bad, in terms of style. The interior is cheap, but not terrible.
I've taken my fit down 4x4 roads (slowly lol) and driven it 100,000 miles in six years, all over the country. It has been such an amazing and reliable car. I can fit so much in this thing.
On man, I need to go check my rear seats for that slot! I've never noticed them. It really is a great car and it's been my favorite car to own due to its reliability, storage and unobstructed view from the drivers seat. My WRX was obnoxiously fast and my RX-8 was obnoxiously loud but the Honda Fit was the car that won my heart. Nearly 300,000 km and I hope it's around for another 200,000!
I adore my 2016 Fit. 229,000 miles, nary a problem. Yeah, mostly cruise control highway commuting miles with lots of on time maintenance. But what a fun ride!
Great video and I agree. I had the 2008 Fit and loved it so much I bought the 2015 Fit. I gave the 2008 to my son who is still driving it. No car is perfect but the Fit comes close.
I just bought my 2008 Honda Fit automatic this summer. I paid $3000 with 198,000 miles. This thing has awesome power and gets 36 mpg during summer and 26-30 mpg during the winter. I put snow tires on the front and get around in 4" of snow just fine and it handles the icy roads great at 70mph! I also hauled a 20 ton hydraulic shop press in it. This thing is like a pickup truck!
I just gotta say the way the intro of the music and the drop lines up with the visuals and Luke talking is actually really emotional lmao like it really feels like he loves this car
I’ve been driving one for 12 years now, and it’s been an awesome car. The only downside is the small battery, which tends to die quickly in cold winters.
My GD3 is amazing. Love how versatile the engine is for how big it is, definitely keep it natural aspirated meaning keeping it stock but if you mess with the fuel mixtures and depending on your area and treat it like a motorcycle engine. She roars if you have the SPORT automatic or manual definitely recommend changing tranny fluid every 60-80 thousand miles. Definitely a tank of a car. Like owning a mini truck when it comes to space a well
This video was in my feed. I clicked because of the artistic shot of the car in the thumbnail. So I know this video is making fun of the car, but I honestly have to mention the production quality on the video. The lighting, the angles, the backgrounds, and of coarse the comedy. Top notch videography ! Regarding the car, my relatives have this exact same car. They also have a Prius, and the Fit is constantly just below the Prius in MPG numbers ( avg 47 on Prius, to 41 - 44 on the Fit. ) This is in hot Texas heat with the A/C on full blast and driven normslly. Automatic too. I had no idea about the seats folding UP like that, so I'll be sure to mention it to them.
It's unfortunate that Honda decided to cancel the Fit in the United States due to slow sales. As a result, the new 2022 Fit in Japan is not coming to the United States
Great little review on the Honda Fit! My grandpa owns one, (2010 Auto Sport) and he's willing to hand it down to me as my first car in the next year or too, the thing has 0 issues and garaged 25% of the time, looks as if it was just bought from the dealer!
My wife bought a brand new Fit 2017. She really cares about it, she doesn't miss any maintenance. I've always taken care or the paint so now with 7 years and 70k miles on it, it's still like it just came out of the dealership, nice and shiny. That's a great and reliable city car.
Bought my 2010 late in 2009 and have driven it 'all over the place', that being mostly the US Southwest and Alaska (it's been up and down the Alcan several times) and it keeps running. Never had any service done to it. I do my own oil & filter changes and the air filters. So far 174,000 trouble free miles. I'm aiming for 300k miles.
I had a 2011 for 7 years. Had to wait a few months to get a manual 5speed, but it was worth it. Honda makes great transmissions. I bought a second set of wheels with Nokian Hakkapellitta snow tires and it turned into a Honda snowmobile. The times I did sporty driving I found it comes alive above 90 mph, the engine is just sweet! But most of the time I drove for fuel efficiency, and my accumulated 7-year average was 43.7 mpg. You can do that if you pay attention. Inside, I folded the seats down and put a piece of plywood with quick release mounts so I could carry two bikes upright, easy and secure. Loved it, loved it, loved it. My only regret is not taking it to a track or autocross.
I totally agree. I've had my 09 Honda fit sport for a couple years and I've drove across country a few times already. Cruise control is your best friend. It's not great too sleep out of but that's what camping is for
I agree. 40-year Honda loyalist here. I had a 2011 Fit Sport (manual). One of my previous Hondas was a 88 CRX Si, and my Fit felt like the second coming of that wonderful car: small, light-ish (500 lbs heavier than the Si but the slightly better torque+HP made the diff). And it packed a heaping gob of stuff in the rear end or behind the seats. I regularly traveled with it packed. I'm in an Integra now, and I miss my old short front end, narrow body, and most of all, the rear Magic Seats. And the Integra only has 25% of the cupholders my Fit did!
2018 Fit Sport in grey. I pay it off in April 2023 and to celebrate I’m getting it detailed and am going to upgrade the wheels a little. I love this car every day!
Bought my Jazz Vibe S 1,5 L Auto, brand new from 2012. It's not a sports hatch but handles like one, 11 years gone by and it's still in good shape and very reliable. From Sydney...
I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the Fit. I have a 2008 Honda Fit 5 speed, which I've owned from new and absolutely love it. It's loads of fun to drive, very fuel efficient, (avg 38 MPG), and can carry impressive amounts of stuff. During a recent kitchen remodel, I was able to load my FIt with 3 full sized kitchen cabinets in the back and still close the hatch. I've put nearly trouble-free
Half way through the video, I realized the parking garage and other locations looked familiar! Watch out for deer on that mountain road at night and enjoy the new dining hall if you're still a student!
I have a 2007 manual transmission. Honda Fit Sport. I've never taken any really long trips in it, and I live in a small town where everything is close by, so I have only about 122,000 miles on it. I've never had to have anything repaired other than routine service on the brakes, new spark plugs a couple of years ago, etc. A couple of days ago, I noticed that, after fifteen years, the air conditioning isn't blowing cold air--the first time I've needed to get anything repaired. At age 75, I'm thinking about getting an EV, but, for the time being, I'm holding on to my Fit--best car I've every owned.
I have one, owned it for 3 years. Honestly no complaints. Its a dream to drive and absolutely bulletproof. The low profile tyres on the 16 inch rims do become a bit of a problem when it comes to potholes in the road. Unfortunate thats just the roads of South Africa. But, i do love my Jazz to bits
Just bought my first 2011 Fit Manual and my god it is a quality Daily. VERY happy with my purchase. Like you said I also recommend this car, everything is easy to do with the Fit.
I test drove one in 2014. The metal was beer can grade, the road noise was very noticeable, rough ride. The 2014 kia soul for driving was night and day far more refined.
tf i watch a video made by a guy with less than 1k subs and it feels like i'm watching something that should be in top of youtube, wow, great work in this video
I use to have a 1986 honda city turbo 2, it had all of this and more. The rear seats did the same but we're also quick release so you could take them out. it had a drinks can fridge in the dash and it also had a factory 50cc trunk scooter on the rear.
this video is not a joke as described in the description as it has eased many average income families who are in need of a transport car throughout the world. greetings from singapore.
I bought a brand new Jazz Sport in the UK back at the end of 2018. All was well for just over 4 years. It was an okay drive. Nothing special . Bit noisy at 70 MPH (112kmh). Infotainment system was just about passable. Fuel economy was okay, and it's party trick is that it's quite spacious, with the magic seats. But at just over 4 years old, then my low pressure fuel pump went wrong. In the USA they had a recall for I'm pretty sure the same model as my one . However Honda UK seems to apparently think that my car was not affected by the major batch of faulty Denso fuel pumps. So I've got a £1200 bill spread over a few garage visits whilst the fault was trying to be found. It's really easy to find that there was a massive recall of 700,000 Honda vehicles around the age of my one about Denso low pressure fuel pump failures, but somehow I magically never got one of those, but my fuel pump has gone wrong. Honda UK are being really useless. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy another Honda car or motorcycle EVER EVER EVER again. Things go wrong sometimes, but Honda UKs abysmal response to me has meant I can never ever trust Honda again.

We bought our son a 2013 Fit Sport six years ago when he was in high school. He still drives the car and loves it for all the reasons mentioned in the video.
My 2012 Fit has 163,000+ miles and is still running strong 💪
I wish Honda still made cars like this, the cargo capacity with the seats down isn't far off from smaller suvs (crv, rav4, cx5 etc) I've hauled everything from a generator, to hunting gear / deer, lumber, 10+ 5 gallon jugs of driveway sealant. its simple, insanely practical, fun to drive and "feels quick" for the price, it can't be beat. I run mine pretty hard and consistently get 30-33mpg. love filling up for less than $30 when fuel is expensive.
damm you must drive pretty fast hahah at least fuel in america is cheaper than in europe hah
Unfortunately I live in CA, where a tank of 11.4 gallons costs about $60 to refill 💀
Just bought a 2014 Honda Jazz here in the UK. Near mint condition, one previous owner, a church going old lady, full dealer service, passed all MOTs..exceptional condition for its age - and what a joy it is to own and drive. The design of this version still looks fresh compared to the "boxer bent nose" front on the latest version.
Bought 2009 Honda fit sport new when it came out. Never broke down after driving cross country 5 times. I gave the car to my dad 3 years ago when I moved to Hawaii. Till this day the car drives strong and nothing major. The car has close to 700,000 miles.
700k!! what a trooper
I had a 2nd generation Honda Fit for just shy of ten years. It was a great car! I drove mine nearly 200,000 miles and across the United States several times. It was quite comfortable on long trips despite its small size and there was never an issue getting stuff into it. Heck, I have a bigger car now and I swear the trunk space in the Fit was still better. I consider the Fit to be peak Honda design. A small car on the outside with tons of room on the inside. It is really too bad people aren't interested in this kind of car anymore.
Agreed in every regard. Many wonderful stories about my 14 year old Fit but my favorite is driving from Taos New Mexico to Colorado Springs during a surprise blizzard through the mountains. I was sweating bullets and cars and many trucks were going off the road into the gutters and down the embankments left and right. I put my car in first gear and just puttered with white knuckles safely all the way to my destination, very late but very safe and it never lost its footing. I’ve moved myself cross country more times than I can count and slept many nights in the spacious cargo area to stay safe. Greatest vehicle of all time!
Proper power to weight ratio. Decent interior, functional, easy to load stuff, good aerodynamic, budget price car.
A friend of mine has a first gen Fit, and we round-tripped it from Eastern CT to Buffalo, NY, and back. Honestly, it performed pretty awesome, but those seats are not built for long trips. 20 hours in them will make you cry.
I've done that same trip in a Del Sol and a CRV, and it's definitely not just the trip length, it's the Fit seats.
yep its a petty small vehicl made for he city after all
@@marvin2678Small definitely doesn't have to mean uncomfortable, it's just up to how the manufacturer designed the vehicle.
I recently just bought my first car which is a 2011 Fit. I got curious and looked up videos about it. Seeing people talk highly about it makes me feel glad to have bought the Fit and ecstatic to get it on the road :)
I have always been a Toyota fan, but bought a 2014 fit brand new, with the automatic and it has never had a mechanical issue. Almost 320,000 M. On the original automatic transmission! It truly is an amazing vehicle. Perfect for camping, traveling carrying pets or long distance trips. I love that little car
same here, 320K miles, all original
320K thats INSANE😳
Just got a '10 with 127k on it, and was worried it may be too high mileage lol
I bought my fit based on a meme page on Instagram and I've never regretted it. Love the car.
i just bought it because of the honda fit music (by kay flow)
I love your style and demand *more*
Very well-made!
Keep in mind it is unlawful to film a video while driving where you live.
this is, by far, the best car commercial I've ever seen. Commenting for the algorithm, please make more videos!
100%. I own a 2012 model and hands down the best car I've owned. The only reason I need to get a new car now is because we're expecting twins. So, definitely need something bigger. However, I've got to do my research proper. I've moved my entire house in this car. My couch, my double bed mattress and base on top of the roof, a bar fridge upright with the magic seats up or even in the boot. The only thing I wouldn't carry is my normal sized fridge. It would fit, but only if it's laying flat and I wouldn't want to risk damaging that. This car is as this man explains. Top! And 355000km on the clock.
Honda Fit is a non-rusting and modular Fiesta. It is a great car, reliable and economic. The best thing about those cars is that they handle so well with little suspension mods (torsion bar, lowering springs, wider tires, tinner sidewalls). Nice video!
Actually Honda is quite rusty. And fit no exceptions. Almost all fits 2003+ in Russia are quite rusty with a lot of body repair. Otherwise great car😊
Not in Canada lol
@@scdu Dude I live in Canada.
The Honda Fit is truly the greatest car ever made
There we go! I agree with you...
I totally agree. They never got the support they needed. Absolute love this car and had three of them. I put roughly 70k on each one through all weather doing my service job.
Hi!
I can confirm the statement of this video 100%.
I am a Student in Germany and got the Honda Fit (in Germany it's called "Jazz") from my parents, as they got a new car.
Since then I drove nearly 80'000km with it (now it has 160'000km on the clock) and it never failed me.
Its engine just runs perfectly fine, though I always warm it up before floring it and I give it regular maintenance.
But even in hot summer, driving on the Autobahn with 180 km/h for half an hour the engine works great and the seats are great too!
The only thing to deal with is the loud engine and wind noise above 110km/h.
Sure, there are some things like some lighting in the back and one window regulator broke, but other than that everything seems to be intact.
The cargo space is astonishing. I now and then have to help transporting lots of or big stuff around and e.g. a freezer of 100x90x80 cm fits into it.
All in all I am sure to drive this thing for many more kilometers and can highly recommend to get it, if you need a budget car that will be reliable and practical throughout time.
Fun fact... The body of the Honda Fit is what 80s/90s Honda Civics were. As Honda Civics got bigger and bigger throughout the years, the Fit was created to fill that gap for ppl that like the small hot hatchbacks. These got discontinued just like the Honda Element... Makes you think wtf was Honda thinking?
I have a 2012 fit. I’ve had her for 2 years, I have a 2 hour commute and she has done me so good. I love that car.
I'm currently on my 2nd Fit. 1st was maybe a 2013 model & the current one I have is the 2018 model. Loved the cupholders more in the 2013, but I love the lane watch camera on the passenger-side mirror more. Even before I had my license, I knew I wanted a Honda Fit. Love how compact it is. The year they announced hybrid models for the UK, while also announcing they were discontinuing the Fit in the US, I was very disappointed. It is by far the best car, imo. Great on gas. Great storage. Doesn't look that bad, in terms of style. The interior is cheap, but not terrible.
You better buy rollroyce not that bad for the price😮
@@jofinger3877 I do plan to sell my Fit once the Aptera comes out.
the title fight background music goes so hard. I subscribed the second I heard it.
“It’s gets you from point A to point B and that’s more than you can ask for with most cars” bro what 😂😂😂
That secret storage spot under the rear seat is a great feature when you have something you don't want other people to find!
I love my 2009 second gen Fit. On the freeway in light traffic I can set the cruise at 80 and it's smooth, quick, and a blast to drive.
I've taken my fit down 4x4 roads (slowly lol) and driven it 100,000 miles in six years, all over the country. It has been such an amazing and reliable car. I can fit so much in this thing.
On man, I need to go check my rear seats for that slot! I've never noticed them. It really is a great car and it's been my favorite car to own due to its reliability, storage and unobstructed view from the drivers seat. My WRX was obnoxiously fast and my RX-8 was obnoxiously loud but the Honda Fit was the car that won my heart. Nearly 300,000 km and I hope it's around for another 200,000!
wow thats quite some kilometres
Why does this feels like a school project video
I learned to drive on my dads 2014 fit sport, loved that car to pieces. Broke my heart when the lease ended and he gave it back
I adore my 2016 Fit. 229,000 miles, nary a problem. Yeah, mostly cruise control highway commuting miles with lots of on time maintenance. But what a fun ride!
God damn you drive a lot
Great video and I agree. I had the 2008 Fit and loved it so much I bought the 2015 Fit. I gave the 2008 to my son who is still driving it. No car is perfect but the Fit comes close.
FIT GANG STAND UP! Have an 08 GD3 and is has been dope with the reliability, 34 mpg, and able to fit my whole bike without removing the wheel.
I just bought my 2008 Honda Fit automatic this summer. I paid $3000 with 198,000 miles. This thing has awesome power and gets 36 mpg during summer and 26-30 mpg during the winter. I put snow tires on the front and get around in 4" of snow just fine and it handles the icy roads great at 70mph! I also hauled a 20 ton hydraulic shop press in it. This thing is like a pickup truck!
BRING IT BACK TO THE US HONDA! 😡
I just gotta say the way the intro of the music and the drop lines up with the visuals and Luke talking is actually really emotional lmao like it really feels like he loves this car
Glad to see another Fit/Jazz fan ^^
And yeah, love how its engine sound, sounds very "Honda" despite being a city car
I love how out of all the sick cars you’ve posted, this one has done the best on TH-cam haha!
Great video👍🏽😁
As an original GE8 owner I was excited to watch. TitleFight starts playing, BLISS!
I love the vibes of this video, very well edited. The timing of that motorbike at 2:23 haha-
In Indonesia, it's called Honda Jazz and it actually released since 2004
2010 with 321k miles with original clutch. Engine is so quiet and still going strong. Absolute best car I’ve ever owned.
title fight and a honda fit review is not something I'd imagine coming across, a welcome surprise tho
Paid $4400 cash 5 years ago for 150k miles. Same Fit, 300k miles today, KBB says sell for $4500. 😂 God bless Honda.
I’ve been driving one for 12 years now, and it’s been an awesome car. The only downside is the small battery, which tends to die quickly in cold winters.
My GD3 is amazing. Love how versatile the engine is for how big it is, definitely keep it natural aspirated meaning keeping it stock but if you mess with the fuel mixtures and depending on your area and treat it like a motorcycle engine. She roars
if you have the SPORT automatic or manual definitely recommend changing tranny fluid every 60-80 thousand miles. Definitely a tank of a car. Like owning a mini truck when it comes to space a well
I love my GD3 too..👌
This video was in my feed. I clicked because of the artistic shot of the car in the thumbnail.
So I know this video is making fun of the car, but I honestly have to mention the production quality on the video.
The lighting, the angles, the backgrounds, and of coarse the comedy.
Top notch videography !
Regarding the car, my relatives have this exact same car. They also have a Prius, and the Fit is constantly just below the Prius in MPG numbers ( avg 47 on Prius, to 41 - 44 on the Fit. )
This is in hot Texas heat with the A/C on full blast and driven normslly.
Automatic too.
I had no idea about the seats folding UP like that, so I'll be sure to mention it to them.
It's unfortunate that Honda decided to cancel the Fit in the United States due to slow sales. As a result, the new 2022 Fit in Japan is not coming to the United States
The new 2021 one is very different but I'ts beyond everything I experienced.
I love how the algorithm just clocked me as a honda fit owner
Great little review on the Honda Fit! My grandpa owns one, (2010 Auto Sport) and he's willing to hand it down to me as my first car in the next year or too, the thing has 0 issues and garaged 25% of the time, looks as if it was just bought from the dealer!
My wife bought a brand new Fit 2017. She really cares about it, she doesn't miss any maintenance.
I've always taken care or the paint so now with 7 years and 70k miles on it, it's still like it just came out of the dealership, nice and shiny.
That's a great and reliable city car.
Really was not expecting to hear title fight when I clicked on this lol
I like the part where the FIT disappears and then a motorcycle appears. Let’s not forget, the sound as it’s happening.
It still looks good today.
Bought my 2010 late in 2009 and have driven it 'all over the place', that being mostly the US Southwest and Alaska (it's been up and down the Alcan several times) and it keeps running. Never had any service done to it. I do my own oil & filter changes and the air filters. So far 174,000 trouble free miles. I'm aiming for 300k miles.
I had a 2011 for 7 years. Had to wait a few months to get a manual 5speed, but it was worth it. Honda makes great transmissions. I bought a second set of wheels with Nokian Hakkapellitta snow tires and it turned into a Honda snowmobile. The times I did sporty driving I found it comes alive above 90 mph, the engine is just sweet! But most of the time I drove for fuel efficiency, and my accumulated 7-year average was 43.7 mpg. You can do that if you pay attention.
Inside, I folded the seats down and put a piece of plywood with quick release mounts so I could carry two bikes upright, easy and secure.
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
My only regret is not taking it to a track or autocross.
oh my god the bike clip was impeccable
I totally agree. I've had my 09 Honda fit sport for a couple years and I've drove across country a few times already. Cruise control is your best friend. It's not great too sleep out of but that's what camping is for
I agree. 40-year Honda loyalist here. I had a 2011 Fit Sport (manual). One of my previous Hondas was a 88 CRX Si, and my Fit felt like the second coming of that wonderful car: small, light-ish (500 lbs heavier than the Si but the slightly better torque+HP made the diff). And it packed a heaping gob of stuff in the rear end or behind the seats. I regularly traveled with it packed. I'm in an Integra now, and I miss my old short front end, narrow body, and most of all, the rear Magic Seats. And the Integra only has 25% of the cupholders my Fit did!
My first car was a 2009 fit, honestly loved that thing. Wasn't super fast or anything but it was zippy and nice for a first car
The title fight intro is insane
HONDA FIT OWNERS UNITE! I LOVE MY 2011 HONDA FIT! LONG LIVE JUDE! As a sobering side note, I have fit everything I own into my car.
2018 Fit Sport in grey. I pay it off in April 2023 and to celebrate I’m getting it detailed and am going to upgrade the wheels a little. I love this car every day!
Bought my Jazz Vibe S 1,5 L Auto, brand new from 2012. It's not a sports hatch but handles like one, 11 years gone by and it's still in good shape and very reliable. From Sydney...
Background music and chapter cards looks very late 2000's / early 2010's
Very fitting for a Honda Fit
the sound clip really had me right until the end
I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the Fit. I have a 2008 Honda Fit 5 speed, which I've owned from new and absolutely love it. It's loads of fun to drive, very fuel efficient, (avg 38 MPG), and can carry impressive amounts of stuff. During a recent kitchen remodel, I was able to load my FIt with 3 full sized kitchen cabinets in the back and still close the hatch. I've put nearly trouble-free
It's funny until you get to daily drive one then you know. 😎
The Honda Fit has the magic seats in the back which can fold up or flat into the floor
I just bought a 3013 Honda fit for 8k..what a great car..and great video..I learned a few things..thanks 😊
Half way through the video, I realized the parking garage and other locations looked familiar! Watch out for deer on that mountain road at night and enjoy the new dining hall if you're still a student!
Not me running outside at 10:30 at night to check under the backseat of my fit
I have a 2007 manual transmission. Honda Fit Sport. I've never taken any really long trips in it, and I live in a small town where everything is close by, so I have only about 122,000 miles on it. I've never had to have anything repaired other than routine service on the brakes, new spark plugs a couple of years ago, etc. A couple of days ago, I noticed that, after fifteen years, the air conditioning isn't blowing cold air--the first time I've needed to get anything repaired. At age 75, I'm thinking about getting an EV, but, for the time being, I'm holding on to my Fit--best car I've every owned.
I have one, owned it for 3 years. Honestly no complaints. Its a dream to drive and absolutely bulletproof. The low profile tyres on the 16 inch rims do become a bit of a problem when it comes to potholes in the road. Unfortunate thats just the roads of South Africa. But, i do love my Jazz to bits
Just bought my first 2011 Fit Manual and my god it is a quality Daily. VERY happy with my purchase. Like you said I also recommend this car, everything is easy to do with the Fit.
I test drove one in 2014. The metal was beer can grade, the road noise was very noticeable, rough ride. The 2014 kia soul for driving was night and day far more refined.
tf i watch a video made by a guy with less than 1k subs and it feels like i'm watching something that should be in top of youtube, wow, great work in this video
this video felt like an acid trip
honestly havent heard title fight in a youtube video in ages. great music choice!
I use to have a 1986 honda city turbo 2, it had all of this and more. The rear seats did the same but we're also quick release so you could take them out. it had a drinks can fridge in the dash and it also had a factory 50cc trunk scooter on the rear.
A 2013 can get as much as $15k nowadays. Shocking to say the least.
Seriously? 974 subs? Sooo underappreciated channel!
The title fight threw me off lol I thought my playlist was still playing for some reason. Fantastic taste
this video is not a joke as described in the description as it has eased many average income families who are in need of a transport car throughout the world. greetings from singapore.
I bought a brand new Jazz Sport in the UK back at the end of 2018. All was well for just over 4 years.
It was an okay drive. Nothing special . Bit noisy at 70 MPH (112kmh). Infotainment system was just about passable. Fuel economy was okay, and it's party trick is that it's quite spacious, with the magic seats.
But at just over 4 years old, then my low pressure fuel pump went wrong.
In the USA they had a recall for I'm pretty sure the same model as my one . However Honda UK seems to apparently think that my car was not affected by the major batch of faulty Denso fuel pumps. So I've got a £1200 bill spread over a few garage visits whilst the fault was trying to be found.
It's really easy to find that there was a massive recall of 700,000 Honda vehicles around the age of my one about Denso low pressure fuel pump failures, but somehow I magically never got one of those, but my fuel pump has gone wrong.
Honda UK are being really useless.
I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy another Honda car or motorcycle EVER EVER EVER again.
Things go wrong sometimes, but Honda UKs abysmal response to me has meant I can never ever trust Honda again.
