I bought this a white version of this car in 2009 with navigation and a 3 years later sold it to a friend. It is almost 2021 and my friend got a new car and was only going to get $800 for it as a trade in. I gave them $3000 which was the high blue book value and very happy to have it back again. It drives like it did back in 2009.
@@marvin2678 Yeah, swapped out the Nav Computer with a cheap Apple CarPlay unit. 183K miles and get over 40 mpg on the freeway. CarPlay gave it new life for me.
@@junior17medval Thanks. Only 200K miles and my repairs are still low annually. Still working great in 2024. I think I might get a new paint job and re-tint the back window later this year.
Still loving my 09 Fit. 240k miles on it. Original clutch. 10 cupholders. Gobs of cargo space and versatility. Small exterior, big interior. Same windshield, original working stereo and speakers. Lots more to live than hate. In fact I am having trouble letting go. Lol
I bought one for my 15 y/o son for his 1st car to learn to drive in. He loves it. I do wish his was a manual. The auto is super slow. But it's good enough power for him. And it's a really good 1st car.
6:34 its not a base model, its the sport :D, the sport model came with a body kit, fog lights, the nicer aluminum wheels, a spoiler, exhaust tip, plus other miscellaneous things and on the auto, you get paddle shifters, my favorite part of the maual mode is it will let YOU shift, it will never shift for you unless you are slowing down and needs to, to not stall, but you can bang limiter all you want in any gear
I hadn't driven one of these until I bought a used one for my son's 16th birthday gift recently. Ours has 112k miles on it and still feels well built and solid. A couple of comments. First, I think the car you drove has the wrong shift knob on it. Ours is the same year and trim and has a cool leather knob with blue stitching to match the trim on the seats. It looks to me like someone swapped it out for the plastic knob from a base car. The other big thing you missed is the incredible cargo space in the car. The real innovation is that his little subcompact actually has much cargo space as many SUVs. There is great space behind the rear seats and the "magic seats" in the second row fold down completely flat and very very low. They can also have the bottom cushions folded up to rear, so that one can load tall items right on the floor boards of the car. The car is much more fun around town than I expected it to be. It's geared a bit short and is noisy at freeway speeds, but that also comes with the territory. The ride is also a bit choppy, but to me it almost feels like an early Rabbit GTI in terms of handling. Oh, and the visibility out of the car with the huge windows is really great, especially for a beginning driver.
YES!!!! I bought a Honda Sport Fit on Friday. My uncle inspected this car for mechanical soundness before I bought it! I love the city and highway m.p.g.
My DD for years, fantastic car! It's taken us on many adventures. The shifter and trans are excellent, but it's probably loosened up a bit with 93k miles.
the cupholders on the dash are so your vents can cool or heat your drinks Japanese market fit and some euro market Jazz have digital climate controls , center screen, and a rearview camera
Not going to lie. I definitely hate not having a coolant temp guage. But the cup holders are amazing. I wish the gk had both but works for me. Not so much my wife. haha. Great little car. Got about 170k on mine. Stage 2+ will pull thirds all day. 😉
I bought an automatic fit sport 09 with the paddle shifters 2 months ago. I hate not being able to see the coolant temp. The AC is pretty weak but the cargo and passenger room is on point. Had to change the CV axle yesterday because it snapped in 2! The car is from up north and it tends to corode in the middle of the axle at the dampener
By the way I have an 09 fit sport with navigation which got me VSA which is amazing in the snow. I never get loose in the rain and never spin out in the snow even when I'm really trying.
4:29 bruuh why you hating for no reason?? It's actually pretty amazing, you can freeze/heat your drinks with AC! every other reviewer is pointing that out but you are just hating. nice review though.

@@dbloyd2i’ve seen these reach 300k miles, so plenty of life still on the fit.

@@jayislander he was wanting a stick shift car. So we sold the Honda and bought him a BMW Z3 5spd.
@@teslamx4lifeunedited887 oh okay I’m thinking of getting a Honda fit auto

I wish more cars came in cool colors again. My 1970 vw Squareback is orange.

dude this is an amazing review, have this guy make more ! (if this channel isn't owned by him) , cheers from Canada
I love honda fits for some reason.
Btw first
you're good in doing reviews! keep it up!
wish you could have opened the hatchback so we could see the shape/size of the rear space

Dad got replacement axles under warranty for his 2011
Ac is actually really strong in mine. Might want to get that looked at. The ac did have a tendency to have issues but once fixed it was solid
The paddle shifters are awesome. I use them all the time to control which gear I'm in. It's super useful for hills.

nice review though.
lol are you high
These cars do have a few mechanical issues you need to watch out for. And the starters get noisy which is super annoying.
Lovely review 👍
You should drive my 2010 Fit Sport 5MT. I can relate with the stock shifter feel. Swapped stock one for a Buddy Club Racing short shifter.
What did you think of the buddy club? Does it feel much better than the stock shifter?
This is the EXACT car that my husband drives, lol.
Hell yeah!
Dude I just bought that car yesterday and I hoping is a fun car to drive. V tech, manual, what else do I want
4:10 I had an ex-girlfriend who said this steering wheel looks like a uterus, and now I can't unsee it.
I like this car
