I'm surprised to see so many people hating the styling. I think it looks great!

Remember the old uptight KBB reviews? Now look at them become hip and cool these guys.

This was a really good video. I felt very comfortable listening and watching. Not a lot of industry jargon, either. Just honest, straightforward exposition of a new car. Thanks for your no-nonsense, yet friendly delivery!

I just got my first car yesterday and it was a 2016 Honda Fit! I love it so much it has all I need

The honda fit i got is the best car Ive gotten in all these years.

KBB's reviews are always amazingly entertaining and very informative, thanks in no small part to Micah and Zach. Keep it up guys!

These guys work really well together. Well written/delivery and great camera action. Good job!

I bought a red 2017 LX yesterday. So far I just love it. The storage space is incredible. I just don't think you can do any better at the price point. Its a fine ride.

I'm not a fan of sub-compacts with sub-compact 4-cylinder engines, but I recently test drove a new Fit with the CVT and I was pleasantly surprised. It feels sporty, the paddle shifters actually respond very well, it's comfortable, and just generally fun to drive. Not too shabby, Honda!!

There's 2 car review channels that I always look for when needing someone's opinions on cars, SUVs and trucks. Alex on Autos and KBB reviews. They are both very professionally done, great videography and easy to digest and comprehend. I like watching certain "amateur" reviewers but watching their obviously amateurish videos gets boring and tiring....but they do have their place in the KZfaq universe. Keep it up, Alex, Micah and company!

I bought mine in 2016 December. It's March 2020 and I have had ZERO issues. I have ex manual 6 speed. It's a zippy car and mega reliable and efficient

I really don't understand the complaint of the touchscreen volume control. When you can easily change it on the steering wheel where its easily accessible without letting go of it. Which is safer. Looks like every other car reviewer mentions this just so they can have more to write or make their videos longer.

I love my Fit so much, it's an awesome car!

The best car reviews on KZfaq, keep up folks. Proud to be a subscriber!

Good review. I just leased one. $124.00 a month, great commuter car and fantastic fuel economy.

Why do all the reviewers complain about no radio dials when you have controls on the steering wheel which means you don't even have to take your hands off the wheel to work the radio.For years complaints were why don't they put control's on the steering and now that they are,you want the knobs back.

The Honda Fit saved my life when I got hit by a Ford Tundra. This car has never let me down!

Great review! Good info on the negative. It's like a mini-minivan, or even a small MPV!

The pricing in Canada, specifically Alberta, is so bad. The Fit LX with a CVT costs $21,500, while the Civic LX with a CVT costs a hair over $20,000. Like, seriously?

To bad about the door arm rests and the center arm rest. Great Review Micah!

2:18 I've been watching KBB since 08' and I remember why I like Micah so much. 😍

And somewhere right around 2:20 I let out the single loudest *HA!* ever uttered by man. Love you, Micah

The new 2018 Honda Fit has a tuning knob on the radio and is supposed to be quieter with improved driving dynamics over the 2017 model. The Fit is one of the few Honda vehicles that actually looks good to me style wise. People complain that the Fit only has 130 horse power, but the base 1995 Toyota Camry had only 125 HP, and the 1990 Camry had just 115 HP. Horse power keeps going up, but people keep complaining that cars do not have enough. You can get a speeding ticket driving any car sold in the USA. They all will go 80 MPH or faster, even the tiny Mitsubishi models. The Fit is certainly an efficient, well designed vehicle all around.

2017 Honda Fit - Review and Road Test Published on Aug 11, 2014 ???

People don't realize that it looks small on the outside but it is incredibly spacious with lots of storage space on the inside.

I agree test drove one. I will be buying the 2016 EX model for my college student

Really enjoyed this review. I love how he pointed out the low arm rest and touch screen lacking knobs for volume controls. I love everything about the car but for me I get worried about safety especially when I want my family to drive this car. Lack of rear brakes worry me.

It looks like the rear seat doesn't fold as flat as my on my 2009 fit. It seems to leave quite a big hump. No more sleeping in the back on long road trips.

Too bad finding a Fit (or any other small car) with the manual is so hard. Every dealer in my area only carries either an automatic or a CVT.

Used to sell Honda cars and the fit (2015 and up) was always my favorite to sell.

Well put together. One question: previous reviews of earlier models indicate 4k rpm's at 80 mph, results in a LOT of noise. Does this model still need 4,000 rpm at 80 mph?

I want this to be my first vehicle, but I want the EX-L trim with navigation. In either the color black or passion berry with all black interior. I really love this vehicle. :) :) :) :)

Micah- You could please stop being so dam handsome!

I love my Honda Fit! Best car I've ever owned. It sure beats that junky cheap Jeep Grand Cherokee I had previous.

After 16 months with my EX 6MT I'm very pleased. My only real complaint is with the stock tires. The Firestone FR740s are disappointing. They are reasonably predictable, and grip levels are OK for an A rated tire, but tread life is pathetic. Average seems to be about 14 months for most reviewers. I got 16 months. (Yes, I kept them properly inflated and rotate them regularly.) But even with these uninspiring tires, it is still a nimble, well balanced fwd car. I just ordered a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2s in 205/50R16 (same rolling circumference as the stock 185/55R16 and still fits the rim width).

Gave some friends a ride to lunch in my '17 Fit and they were impressed that it was so roomy inside for a small car....smiling, I told them that the Honda Fit is only little on the outside.

I like Micah's reviews. I think he and Mat Watson are my fave car reviewers. PS: Nice farmers tan Micah. :)

I looked at a Honda Fit & a Nissan Versa Note & a Kia Soul. I bought the 2016 Kia Soul because the quality blew the other two out of the water. The soul cost less, has a beautiful interior & better quality larger more comfortable seats. We love that the Soul sits higher & is easier to get in & out of. Kia is owned by Hyundai now so it gets the 10 Year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I got the Caribbean Blue, love it!

Thanks for the review. We are in the market for a compact hatch. Would you recommend a fit, an impreza or another?

I just bought one of these used with low miles and I love it

Bought the Honda fit EX-L, Took the stock radio out and swapped for a different one cause of the volume "knob"

In "a dynamic car environment" wouldn't you just use the physical volume button just inches away from your left thumb on the steering wheel?

Thanks for not being biased and reviewing real cars.

How was the 2017 model review posted in August 2014..?

and i also have to add that this was the best car review ive seen out of so many ive watched literally because he didnt feel the need to drive a 100mph wich every other car tester seems to find the need to do so wich i find no need for at all best car review and test drive hands down....

there is a volume right on the steering wheel lol

Probably the best subcompact money can buy in North America. However given the engine, I can only dream what a Fit Si can do if Honda fitted it with the Civic Sport 1.5L turbo with 180hp.

Maybe after hearing enough from KBB and other outlets, Honda will update armrest and side door cushioning as they did with the Civic. Or bolt on side armrest like on previous generation Fit.

Thank you for not reviewing the top of line model. You give us the basics and let those with extra dollars go surprise and delight themselves on their own time.

I bought one saturday a weeka ago today ;-) suspension and driving is awesome ....

please make a review of 2015 nissan rogue select S.. thankyou

Thank you for the review been helpful

good review!!

Do you think the Fit can withstand Canadian winters with winter tires?

Does this still have the compartment beneath the rear seats?

the manual fit is much faster than the cvt equipped one. the cvt model is very slow.

I really want this car, but one thing that turned me off about it was the engine noise that was made when I would accelerate during my test drive. I love this car a lot for its features, price, and fuel efficiency. I knew that this car was expected to have road noise due to its class, but the engine noise was loud!. My kia soul does better in terms of engine noise in the cabin. Any thoughts anyone?

i want one with auto . how much? do i need to choose the high trim for cvt?

i never knew a car review could be a bit PG lol

Are the seats comfortable? Surprised your review didn't try to answer that question.

I hope they add a turbo so it can compete with the Fiesta ST, and Golf GTI. They could call it the FIT SI.

Lets have an update. Serious Quality control issues. I find, that the driver seat heating coils in the heated seats primary heat my BACK in the driver side seat, with very little heat down low. While the passenger seat Primary heats my BUM. with very little heat on my back. I have found flipping the head rest greatly improves the comfort of the car, however I am unsure of the effect on safety.

it looks better in person. saw one last week. red color. very nice. I hope they will bring the hybrid version from Japan.

Interior noise has been an issue all along. It would seem to be still be a cause for concern. Pushing $20K well equipped, it's hard to ignore this. Having to make the radio louder once up to speed gets annoying after a while.

Are those paddler shifters on the steering wheel?

isn't there volume controls on the steering wheel?

do you have time machine i mean this video is uploades 2014 and you saying this is 2017?

Very Informative! :)

I just wrecked my truck. My wife wants to buy this car because it's small and cute. I think it actually has decent cargo hold so I think we might actually get this one in yellow. Also looking at gas mileage. My old F150 was a chugger.

How much is it sold in US 4S store?

how will i open the radio

How are the girls suppose to mount me in this car. There is no head room.

How was this posted in 2014 yet it is a 2017 Honda fit?? And who else is here watching this in 2020

Does it offer good ground clearance?

You forgot to mention which model you are driving and personally commenting on (ie the comment of the volume control you made doesn't apply to all three models) nor does the sunroof come with the base (LX) model which would then give you more Head Room (that you pointed out as a vice you see intergrated sunroofs will reduce your standard head room area). The Fit's CVT transmission is one of those areas that one should also talk about, Normal hwy driving RPMs are greatly reduce from Manual option and from earlier designed CVT which is one of my favorite features. Oh, and all Model Fits have a seat height adjustment (at least for the driver), It will adjust quite low for a-tall-in-the-seat driver, above the LX model, larger tires and wheels improve the ride and tracking by seemingly 50%, at the expense of a couple miles per gallon. The Base model has 150w, 4 speaker stereo, vs the 160w, 6 speaker with the high models.

Hey everyone, I am considering this car as it's much more affordable than what I'm driving now. I'm changing careers so wanna play it safe and cut as many expenses as possible. Just a few key (to me) questions that I would appreciate anyone's feedback on: I'm 6 ft, 190 lbs... will I be comfortable in here? The reviewer mentioned the low middle armrest... is it that low that it is hard to rest your right elbow/forearm on? Is the hard material on the left armrest really that uncomfortable? I'm expecting resale to be quite strong on the Fit... Is the car assembled well (squeeks, rattles, etc)? How is the brake pedal feel? Firm? Or spongy with lots of pedal travel? Noise? Comfort on long-ish drives? Thanks again everyone.

I like how you finally criticize cars instead of posting only standards and options.

These guys do the best reviews....

A Honda Fit Type R with the 1.5L turbo motor would be amazing!

0:39 shout out to the crew for this cool shot

I found the center console with armrest new on e-bay for the Honda Fit for $44. "Rotatable Storage Box Armrest Center Console For Honda Fit Jazz 2009-2013 12 11" Brand: XUKEY. Made in California.

Slow as hell, but was great on gas, 7.8 gallons full tank every time I went to get gas and about $18 bucks on 87 octane. 43 mpg was the best i did on highways. Beats paying 40k for a Lexus hatch hybrid. But moved on to a 2017 wrx limited and don't miss this lil guy.

Just bought mine and I already want to trade it. Civic/Camry both get almost as good MPG, yet is have larger more powerful engines and are far more comfortable on hwy. The gearing on the manual is weird as well - 1-4 seem normal, then 5 and 6 are more like 4.1 and 4.2...it's at like 3.5k RPM at 75 mph - who only drives 60 on the hwy? When I test drove mine, i only got it to ~60mph and really wish I took it to freeway speeds because I would NOT have bought it. They seemed to have designed shifter and arm rests for someone who has 5' arms. They must've hired interns to design and code their 7' display - it doesn't work and is confusing and challenging to use. Loads of craftsmanship and usability issues, which I imagine are a result of engineering cost out exercises. They better hope this thing is reliable af because that's about the only thing going for it imo. I'm hoping to trade mine and not lose too much money. Buy a civic or a camry.

*****, what did you think of the CVT? The car sounded rather buzzy under hard acceleration in your video. ;-)

w.. what's the different between Fit and Jazz? The look the same

They need to make a type r version to compete with the fiesta st. Maybe throw the new 1.5 turbo engine from the civic in it. That would be a fun car I would buy for 20k.

i owned one, GK5 model. Cons: Useless arm rest (too low) Touch screen less responsive Noisy engine when accelerating 7 cup holders (do u need that much?) stock tire could be better Pro: Good FC Well placed cupholder (the one on the driver side at the aircon vent) Spacious rear legroom Completely flat rear seat when folding Magic seat / Ultra seat/ utility mode

Can anyone spot the Chevy volt at the 3:15 Mark?

"2017 Honda Fit" and the video was uploaded in Aug 2014? Typo?

Ah yes, reviewing a 2017 car in 2014? How was this video posted in 2014 yet the 2017 Honda fit came in in 2017?

When the new generation Honda Fit came out I really didn't like the exterior styling at all-- It has since however grown on me. I would purchase the vehicle. I'm glad it comes with a manual transmission. I will NEVER in my life buy a CVT transmission car. My Mom had a Nissan Versa-- Absolutely terrible. CVT's are simply depressing to those whom love driving. The new generation Civic looks amazing too and I'm glad it is also available in manual transmission. Now only if hybrids could be made with manual transmission without around the same miles per gallon I would actually think of buying one. Great review though, Kelley Blue Book.

Great review! good jokes too, made me laugh :))

How can a 2017 car review be posted in 2014?

Is the motor loud? Like the Ford Fiesta's is ridiculously loud. Also, I'm 5' 3" with a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees. Think they'll fit?

How was this published in 2014?...

Why did you not mention the right turn camera and two reverse cameras?

About the touchscreen volume...I drive a Fit and there's a real convenient big button on the steering wheel that lets you change the volume and channel. I never even use the touchscreen for volume. Buuuut, then again it's not the base model.

My '15 Fit quietly shutters me from point A to point B without any fanfare or hoopla. Its very low on the police radar, and with a name like Fit along with that computer mouse of a profile, it is low on the fellow driver's incitement meter as well. Plus, it can swallow up my full suspension 29'er - with both wheels attached. No more folding bike racks or Yakima roof racks.

It's a reliable, ultra practical no nonsense car. Awesome!

How can a 2017 review be published in 2014???
