2012 honda fit sport manual transmission

"I bought this car new from the honda dealer in june 2012 with just 4 miles on it. I get an average of 33MPG and around 320 miles to the tank. I am astonished of all the safety features that this car has, the obvious ones and the others that you learn about the car as you drive it. Love the versatility of the rear magic seat, no other car in it's class have the same feature, back doors open wider than other cars. I'm hoping to have this car for as long as I can, since I payed cash for it, I am going to get every penny worth."

"I traded a 2010 Fit Sport for the 2012 Fit. My only regret is that I didn't get the sport this go round. 2014 will be the Sport again. Love the stereo, I have 53 Albums stored in a thumb drive that's tucked out of the way in the glove box (it can hold lots more)"

Great little car!

By Armygirl (TX) on Thursday, February 07, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 11,111

Pros: "Great price, reliable car, fun to drive"

"I love my Fit! It has a surprising amount of cargo room. We purchased a tall dresser from Ikea and had no problem fitting the box in the back with one of the seats laid down. I've flipped the seat up to carry a stack of yard tiles. Groceries are easy with this car. Keep in mind all this was also with my four year old in his booster seat on the smaller side of the rear seats. The Fit is a lot of fun to drive, has a lot of cup holders and I've had very little maintenance to worry about in the 11000 miles/1.5 years we've owned it. I really don't have any complaints with this car. Shortly I will be trying to figure out how to manage two kiddos in car seats in this car one forward Facing and one rear facing so I might end up with a slight change of heart, but we'll see."

Fantastic car

By chelie (WI) on Wednesday, February 06, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 73,000

Pros: "Fun to drive, great mileage and hauling ability"

Cons: "Angle of head rests, spring actuated gas cap cover"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"The second best car I've owned - right behind my Honda CRX. Fun to drive with the manual transmission, and extremely versatile cargo hauler. I've moved a lot of things a sedan, or even an SUV, couldn't handle. Average 38 to 40 mpg without much effort, though I live in a flat world. Drives well in snow too, although snow tends to build up behind front wheels. Downside is spring actuated gas cap cover (hasn't worn out yet, but...) and angle of headrests can be annoying."

great value!

By rich (NJ) on Saturday, February 02, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 55,000

Pros: "economy, economy, economy!"

Cons: "cabin road noise at highway speeds"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"i bought this car for one reason, economic value. it has turned out to be a great choice. i opt-ed for the basic package, as this was the most economical, it made the most sense, because you can't justify the alloy wheels and rear spoiler adding to the economic operation of the vehicle. the fuel economy is listed as 25/33 mpg. for the manual transmission, but i have been driving with fuel economy in mind, for over 50,000 miles, and i am averaging 46.7 mpg. (according to the average mpg. gauge on the dash, as well as my own calculations.) the amount of space afforded by the magic seating system, is amazing to say the least. i have moved a full sized stove, for a friend with no problem. cabin road noise would be the most likely "con" i would point out to potential buyers, although, it is better than i noticed in both the nissan versa, and chevy aveo that i test drove before this purchase. i waited to review this until now, because i was sure something would lessen my enthusiasm, but, to date, my over all satisfaction is growing."
