Regular Car Reviews: 2007 Honda Fit

This is RCR's car. The first-generation Honda Fit was produced when Honda was coasting though senior year because he earned three A's in the first semester. Now it's March and he's getting lots of C's. So what if the car leaks rainwater? I'm HONDA! I'm terrific! The guidance councilor pulled Honda aside and told him "you better get your rear in gear (guidance councilor's say this IRL) or you can say goodbye to Bucknell University!"

The second generation Fits are better. They don't leak. Honda never officially admitted that the first gen-fits have horrible leakage. Dealerships have paper trails of service records showing new 1st-gen fits coming back with rainwater leakage problems caused by poor silent and in-door plastic rain barriers coming loose. Honda remains silent on this issue.

I hope my $7.77 went into one of those fog lights.

Fun fact: for whatever reason, the Fit is called the Jazz in Europe.

The fit is fun to drive. since the front wheels are so close to you, it feels like you're driving a go-kart. and the gas milage is awesome!

[PeachcsS]

Honda Jazz sounds better, the other name just doesn't fit ..

I put 100, 000 miles on a brand new Honda Fit between 2007 and 2009. Best, most reliable car I ever owned.

I towed one behind my RV for a while and used it for errands. I looked back one day and it wasn't there. I realized I left it in a Walmart parking lot in Texas but I was in Arizona. I guess it is still there.

Yeah but, does your Fit have the sport mode auto-manual flippity flappity gear shifters to make you feel like no, didn't think so, but mine does... mine does...

Honda Fit: The Official Car of Regular Car Reviews

[whatevers]

Its amazing that while RCR has drove some of the most saught-after, fast, powerful, cool looking cars, they still just drive around in an old leaky Honda Fit. That takes a lot of self confidence.

[ebinecksdee]

"you wanna leak?" fuckin lost it.

[samuelskillern]

I'd love if Honda made a CR-Z that's non hybrid, has 2 doors, 4 seats, had a SI trim, and was renamed CRX.

[BS-qrwc]

This review had me in tears from the commentary.

[benhonda]

you nailed a key problem...Honda's refusal to sell a bare bones car.  The EF and EG are so loved because they are light and simple.  There was nothing on a EF you didn't want or need.  Today, they don't think they can sell a car that is stripped down, even tho a small 4d car SHOULD be a stripped down car.  If I wanted a upmarket or luxury type car I would buy a fat midsized car.  the purpose of small cars is econo, cheap cost, simplicity, ect.  If you take away the simplicity...add weight then you screw up the formula that makes a good hatchback!  Sadly, just about every car maker has done the same damn thing.  The current civic weighs MORE than the 1989 Honda accord did!

still have my 2007 fit and the longer i have it, the more i appreciate it.

Laughed my ass off with this, I felt like I was watching/hearing myself think.

this car holds a soft spot in my heart. my uncle bought a 2nd hand neon orange colored 2002 Fit around 2010 ish and that's what was used to haul my and my 3 cousins' asses to school constantly. from sixth grade to college, and even until now, it's still on the road and immaculately maintained by the family. at 22 years old, it's been driven by my uncle, my aunt, my eldest cousin, and will most def be passed down to her youngest sister when she eventually starts driving. got a shit load of issues now, but it still. runs. and that's all that matters.

this car singlehandedly makes me want to buy a honda for my first car.

[LazerLord]

3rd gen review when. It's discontinuation puts the death knell in the subcompat market for the us.

[TheBzg]

I beg to differ, the fit is fun the drive. the understeer in rain is so legendary and managable.

[bonenoble]

I bet your honda can float in the water with all the silicon :D

[Henkovich]

This is the car that was supposed to be called "Fitta", until someone told Honda that it means cunt in swedish.
