Not upgraded in the same way as the SI at least. The sport 1.5t is a good option if you want the 5 door hatch since the SI doesn't come in that body.

    Alright, I actually put my money where my mouth is and bought a 2018 fit EX. It passes the visor test, has sat radio (which I never use), and the full compliment of sensors that do lane keep assist and automatic collision avoidance, all with a fun and easy to use 6-speed manual. All of your points are valid, and for the US market, I think this was the last of the era of good economy cars offered here before the era of electrification.

      and the HRV is hideous and more expensive. It is a pointless car trying to capitalize on the cross-over craze. What a waste of R&D resources. They should have put that resource into making a Fit Type-R or SI, way more people will buy a $25-30k performance Fit than an HRV.

    • @namdude0373
      @namdude0373 6 ปีที่แล้ว +67

      I regularly drive a Fit EX and a HR-V EX and the HR-V is like a more refined Fit. It is quieter in every aspect and rides smoother, there is definitely a place for it! I also had access to a 2017 Civic EX and it reminded me a lot of the HR-V, it's like having the comfort and refinement of a civic with the practicality of a Fit. On paper it seems silly but you have to experience both sides to truly understand why such a car exists!

    Steats, storage, good handling, 40+ mpg. It's my daily and I really like it. I rent a lot of cars because I travel for work and the Fit has one of the most comfortable spaces for an economy car. Getting back into this car after being in almost anything else in it's class just feels good.

    Straight Pipes has turned this 62-year-old dude into a kid again. Even changed my avatar to the 69 GOAT I used to roll in. And I wasn't offended by you young whippersnappers in your last video when you talked about old man with knee replacement regarding the clutch, even though I had a left knee replacement and can't clutch anymore (also got both hips replaced, so there's something else I'm limited at as well ;-)) Oh, regarding "manual vs stickshift", Jakub's right. My 69 GTO was a 4-speed manual - nobody EVER would call it a "stick shift". "Stick Shift" is what my late Dad would call the "Three on the tree" (or Column Shifter) on his Chevy Biscayne. Keep up the great work!!

    My wife demanded we buy a Fit Sport back in 2008. 200k miles later I agree it was a good decision. With a handful of modifications, it's been a really fun and insanely reliable car. Motor still purrs and the manual still has a great feel. Problem is that we have outgrown under powered cars. When it came time to buy another fun hatch we went elsewhere (VW).
    Honda, if you're listening, I beg you to give us a Fit Si. Make it and we'll buy one tomorrow! Until then, we'll have our '08 Fit as our back up car, but will be daily driving our much faster, better handling VW. Sad for us because we'd rather be in a Honda.

      @MonkeyMD3 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Matthew Emrick Holy cow. Same here. 08 Fit. Wanted the new Fit. Was hoping for a little more power and a 6th gear that was taller then the old 5spd. Neither of those happened so ended up with a Golf. More power (especially with an APR tune), more comfort, better mpg. Kind of miss the amazing cargo room of the Fit sometimes though.

      @shraka 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I personally think the 88kw is enough. What it needs is better gear ratios (closer from 1-3, taller for 4-6), shorter throw and more notchyness on the shifter, a better flywheel and clutch (MUCH lighter flywheel, that thing is so heavy), with suspension and brakes to match.
      88kw is plenty, you just gotta get used to redlining it all day every day... Like I do in my DC2.

      Hah I also drive a 2008 Fit Sport. Been looking at the current gen Golf quite a lot, but just realized the 2019 Corolla Hatchback is a thing. Went to a dealership today to take a closer look and was offered a test drive, so why not? I absolutely loved it, the shifter feels awesome and idk about the US version but all Canadian ones have standard rev-matching. Only thing is, the cargo floor is super high and so it won't haul anywhere near as much as a Fit, but it definitely looks like a great economical hatch that's fun to drive and looks great too.

      My honda is a euro spec, so not the exact same one, Had it for a few months now.
      I have the CVT 1.3 L (102HP) version. Do NOT get the CVT. It is slow and dumb, and makes the engine feel completely gutless unless you are flooring it all the time.
      My car doesn't have leather stitching anywhere, but does have lane keep assist and forward collision warning, both work excellent and do not intrude too much. Beware though that the cameras take up space on the windscreen.
      The car is very practical and sips fuel. I can easily get over 600 km on 35 liters of fuel.
      It is also very practical, quite comfortable and spacious for what it is. Insurance on these is super low, so that is also a plus.
      It also has a huge trunk, which is a definite plus.

I have this exact model (2018 Honda fit sport, six speed manual, and it is a legitimate moving van with the magic seats folded down. I’ve even done the unthinkable and have towed a loaded 4x6 trailer a few times.
    …even with that *aside*, this is the *BEST* car I’d ever owned (I’ve owned many), and I intend to grow old and die with it. I bought mine new in December 2017, and have 90,000 miles on it so far.
    Oh, and it’s a JOY to drive.
    I will ALWAYS rave about it. So lucky to have it, and it’s been a SERIOUS life upgrade. If you’re thinking about getting one, you will, never, ever, ever regret it.
    Cheers all!

    Great review as usual, gents. The Fit is pretty much impossible to beat for its combination of practicality and driving enjoyment. If you crossed a Miata with a minivan, you'd have this: a car that's way more fun than you expect and capable of hauling way more stuff than you'd believe.

I have great confidence in knowing a Honda is likely to have a life expectancy of over 200,000 miles! I have never been disappointed in a Honda purchase and love, love the Fits!!!

Loved the utility of 8 cup holders and being able to stick wine bottles or large bottles anywhere.....fit multiple flat screen in the back and with the seats up, very rarely had to pop the hatch for groceries....also car handles like it was on rails with only lowering springs and better tires. I wish this had 170-180hp and 170-180 tq and it would be perfect....highway merges in Georgia was when I realized the limitations of the car.

I can't think of a better daily commuter car for those looking for something that sips fuel and won't cost anything in repairs.

It's quite actually the only Fit Sport in its color with the wheels that it has in my entire county. The only one. And I absolutely love that.

    I just purchased a 2015 Fit about a month ago! I was told "No one sets out to buy a Honda Fit. They just end up with one." Completely true for me. But as a recent college grad, not able to finance, and commuting 110 miles a day, this little car is actually great! I have the base model, so no touch screen or fancy infotainment, and a manual transmission, just the way I like. My only concern is when winter rolls around how it'll handle the snow, but until then, I'm happy with my purchase. You get a lot for the price, and you also save on gas. I easily get 40mpg on the highway and 35 combined, even though it's rated lower.

    The Honda Fit to me is by far the best subcompact and has pretty much always been. What the Rio can't match is the Fit's reliability and resale value, I've also heard that repairing the Fit is cheaper than repairing a Rio, but that may just be heresay. The two cars probably cost about as much to insure as well. Also, you can get some cool Mugen stuff to outfit a Fit Sport. I like it as a great, first new car.
