    One of the most satisfying to drive cars ive ever had. Fun, functional, efficient and Nostalgic. More fun than my 2002 GTI and 2003 GLI, better sound than my 2012 Mazda 3, and more character than all of them. I think these (especially the 6 speed) will become sought after down the road

Today it was ready to hit the road and drove it for a 2 hour trip....I loved it. I'm keeping it for a while or maybe a keeper. Sad to hear 2020 was the last year. This car is amazing.

    Great video and bang on the money with your comments and observations! I have just bought a low mileage 2nd hand Honda Jazz Sport (yes it's red just like the one you reviewed) and I love this little car! It's super-light on gas, and is incredibly versatile with it's clever seats! Mine is not the 6 speed manual, but rather the "auto" (CVT gearbox) which I thought I'd hate, but it's actually very good to drive, provided you're not in a big hurry! It can drone a bit under heavy acceleration, but settles down once up to highway speeds. Round town and in traffic, it's perfect! Thanks again for your review and warm greetings from South Africa! 👍😉

Great fuel mileage and 5 drink holders. 🤣 They mentioned that to me when I purchased it. The audio system in the sport is also an upgrade and standard transmission is stock so cost is low but totally fun! 🤗 They called me zippy.. it's quick and gets you going!

    I hired a Fit in Japan, same model, and I liked it more than I thought, despite it being a CVT (🤮). I wished they had manuals, but, being new to hiring cars in general, and driving in Japan, I didn't mind it as much. The one I had had radar cruise, and it was wonderful, until you hit 20km/h, whereupon it would disengage. The dash layout is clean for a city car, and that cupholder in front of the airvent thing is genius.

    3rd Gen (GP5)Honda fit Hybrid has really cool looking gauge cluster... This one feels average as compared to one in Hybrid. Plus Fit hybrid is most powerful 138hp and fastest for all 3rd Gen Fit's. It also has ZF 7-speed dual clutch that shifts really quick and sharp. I absolutely love Fit hybrid... Interior quality is bit flimsy and will start rattling if driven in areas with bad roads. And the interior plastic is very prone to scratching and can break easily while removing parts.

    I have had my 2018 Fit for a while. I watched all kins of reviews for it. But I am slowly starting to regret my decision. I am so worried about the reliability. Or lack of. I was told th engine was loud. But I swear its making noises it shouldn't. It can make all the noises it wants as long as its reliable. I am trying to see if other Fits sound the way mine does but struggling to have anyone have the engine play only.

    He didn't show you the magic seat. The back seats FOLD BACK, sometimes called stadium seats. so cargo space goes from roof to floor. what they were talking about when they said you can fit a bicycle in the back seat. My guess is they stopped making Fits as they are 3rd in fatalities. I bought a 2005 Prius, and the big butt was not for my lousy driving and I hated the soft metal. I then bought the 2011 Fit. The horsepower was terrible and I'd never heard a worse sound system. I totaled it and got a fantastic price on a 2015 Fit. Honda did what Honda does, and now the sound system is great and has much more horsepower. I am so used to it I don't have complaints, just like this guy says. One guy I met commuted and mileage got to 260,000. I would have liked to know if the commute was level, as it gets noisy at 70mpg. I bought tire insurance and so glad I did. I will travel to get a low mileage when mine gets to 260,000 or more. I am at 167,000 now. Clutch, brakes, and all the parts of the starter have been replaced, and one part of the starter is on the extended warranty. Not many small cute things and nothing small has gone wrong. The hot and cold cupholder is really cool.
