It's called the Jazz in Australia and I currently drive a 2004 version. My brother said, "maybe you can sell this car and buy something better" and my answer to him was, "Dude, what could be better?".
I sold my Fit to get a newer hybrid, and I gotta say, going from a 2010 fit to a 2020 Ioniq seems like a huge downgrade. The Fit FEELS fast, even if its not. It gets nearly 40mpg driving conservatively, and the engine and chassis are rock solid. I highly regret purchasing the newer vehicle to be completely honest.
you should trade in the ioniq while prices are still high and then get a fit, and use all the money you saved to put a huge wing on the back and paint some flames on the side
trade it back, the biggest mistake isnt losing the fit for something you don’t enjoy as much, but it will be not getting it back after knowing the truth
its a nice car, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the engine bay being a bit small, also, need a little bit of bigger interior... but still a very solid car.
Been looking for a 2012-2013 Fit Sport as a second car. Like you mentioned, I scratch my head why they discontinued this car. It’s almost magical in its efficiency and packaging. Who wants a giant SUV when you don’t need one?
Uh yeah the crossover design is competely counter intuitive to gas milage packaging, and handling. Its a shame that trends are killing the perfect design for a street commuter vehical.
I purchased a 2009 Fit used with 6k miles that same year. Gave the car to my son in 2017 because he needed a car. Fast forward to 2021 and a hit and run driver crashed into him one evening. Car was totaled and 180K miles at that point. Lucky he was not seriously injured and all front and side air bags deployed. That car was one of the most reliable cars that I have owned in fifty years of driving. Appreciate your review.
I regret buying a Honda Jazz ! Faulty fuel pump. £1200 bill because its 4 years old. Even though their was a recall on a real lot of Hondas around the age of my one for faulty fuel pumps. Honda UK claim my one isn't affected. When it obviously is. So Honda UK are being really useless. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy another Honda car or motorcycle EVER EVER EVER again. Things go wrong sometimes, but Honda UKs abysmal response to me has meant I can never ever trust Honda again.
I had an '08 Fit for a couple years but lost it to a distracted driver who blew a red light. 😭 Even as an older, used car the Fit was a fun vehicle. I loved the paddle shifters on my Sport model!
In my humble opinion, apart from the paddle shifters, it's the most non pretentious car ever made. Magic seats are magical, and the people who consider reliability a luxury will truly appreciate this little gem of a car. I've moved houses with this car, and I doubt if I'll ever like a car better than how much I like this one. I named her Scarlett. I'll drive her to the junkyard.

I bought my 2018 in 2017. It's a manual/standard. Loved it then and still love it. I enjoy looking at the newer cars and what's yet to come out, but in the end I'm happy to stay with the winner I've got.
When you say 240.... Was at a track day being shuttled in a van with a race instructor. Was talking to a friend when I saw a Volvo 240 wagon. I say, "hey, a 240" the instructor hit brakes, asking WHERE? ha ha!

I drive a 2015 Fit and it KILLS me that they killed them off in the states. It's a dream car in the city, incredibly easy to park and compared to any other car even close to it's size, it's got way more room on the inside. They're really popular here in NYC, tons of them everywhere. Unfortunately most of the US doesn't care about parallel parking. Also keeping drinks cool is a dream.

This video had such an early 2000s feel and I loved it. Also, 100% agree with your assessment on the Fit. I never owned one but my sister did, and I envied her. I was happy in my Accord but I think I'm going to get a manual Fit from that gen once used car prices come down to better levels.
Bought a 2008 5spd Honda Fit Sport for 2K a few months ago so I could Uber/Lyft (I'm in between jobs). I thought I could just sell it when my new job starts... I think I'm going to keep it. One of the best cars I've owned (I'm in my late 40's and have owned over 20 different vehicles). Fit fits my life.
I totally agree! Currently driving a 2007 Sport Fit with about 223,000 miles. Had it for over 10 years now. It’s single handedly been the most reliable and functional car I’ve ever owned! It still fascinates me to this day.
Dude the flyby with the bike was the funniest visual gag I think I've ever seen in a car video, made me laugh so hard. This vid was awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was dope.
Just bought a 2014 Honda Jazz here in the UK. Near mint condition, one previous owner, a church going old lady, full dealer service, passed all MOTs..exceptional condition for its age - and what a joy it is to own and drive. The design of this version still looks fresh compared to the "boxer bent nose" front on the latest version.
Bought 2009 Honda fit sport new when it came out. Never broke down after driving cross country 5 times. I gave the car to my dad 3 years ago when I moved to Hawaii. Till this day the car drives strong and nothing major. The car has close to 700,000 miles.
We bought our son a 2013 Fit Sport six years ago when he was in high school. He still drives the car and loves it for all the reasons mentioned in the video.
I wish Honda still made cars like this, the cargo capacity with the seats down isn't far off from smaller suvs (crv, rav4, cx5 etc) I've hauled everything from a generator, to hunting gear / deer, lumber, 10+ 5 gallon jugs of driveway sealant. its simple, insanely practical, fun to drive and "feels quick" for the price, it can't be beat. I run mine pretty hard and consistently get 30-33mpg. love filling up for less than $30 when fuel is expensive.
I had a 2nd generation Honda Fit for just shy of ten years. It was a great car! I drove mine nearly 200,000 miles and across the United States several times. It was quite comfortable on long trips despite its small size and there was never an issue getting stuff into it. Heck, I have a bigger car now and I swear the trunk space in the Fit was still better. I consider the Fit to be peak Honda design. A small car on the outside with tons of room on the inside. It is really too bad people aren't interested in this kind of car anymore.
I totally agree. They never got the support they needed. Absolute love this car and had three of them. I put roughly 70k on each one through all weather doing my service job.
I totally agree. I've had my 09 Honda fit sport for a couple years and I've drove across country a few times already. Cruise control is your best friend. It's not great too sleep out of but that's what camping is for
I just gotta say the way the intro of the music and the drop lines up with the visuals and Luke talking is actually really emotional lmao like it really feels like he loves this car
I recently just bought my first car which is a 2011 Fit. I got curious and looked up videos about it. Seeing people talk highly about it makes me feel glad to have bought the Fit and ecstatic to get it on the road :)
Hi! I can confirm the statement of this video 100%. I am a Student in Germany and got the Honda Fit (in Germany it's called "Jazz") from my parents, as they got a new car. Since then I drove nearly 80'000km with it (now it has 160'000km on the clock) and it never failed me. Its engine just runs perfectly fine, though I always warm it up before floring it and I give it regular maintenance. But even in hot summer, driving on the Autobahn with 180 km/h for half an hour the engine works great and the seats are great too! The only thing to deal with is the loud engine and wind noise above 110km/h. Sure, there are some things like some lighting in the back and one window regulator broke, but other than that everything seems to be intact. The cargo space is astonishing. I now and then have to help transporting lots of or big stuff around and e.g. a freezer of 100x90x80 cm fits into it. All in all I am sure to drive this thing for many more kilometers and can highly recommend to get it, if you need a budget car that will be reliable and practical throughout time.
This video was in my feed. I clicked because of the artistic shot of the car in the thumbnail. So I know this video is making fun of the car, but I honestly have to mention the production quality on the video. The lighting, the angles, the backgrounds, and of coarse the comedy. Top notch videography ! Regarding the car, my relatives have this exact same car. They also have a Prius, and the Fit is constantly just below the Prius in MPG numbers ( avg 47 on Prius, to 41 - 44 on the Fit. ) This is in hot Texas heat with the A/C on full blast and driven normslly. Automatic too. I had no idea about the seats folding UP like that, so I'll be sure to mention it to them.
Great little review on the Honda Fit! My grandpa owns one, (2010 Auto Sport) and he's willing to hand it down to me as my first car in the next year or too, the thing has 0 issues and garaged 25% of the time, looks as if it was just bought from the dealer!
A friend of mine has a first gen Fit, and we round-tripped it from Eastern CT to Buffalo, NY, and back. Honestly, it performed pretty awesome, but those seats are not built for long trips. 20 hours in them will make you cry. I've done that same trip in a Del Sol and a CRV, and it's definitely not just the trip length, it's the Fit seats.
My GD3 is amazing. Love how versatile the engine is for how big it is, definitely keep it natural aspirated meaning keeping it stock but if you mess with the fuel mixtures and depending on your area and treat it like a motorcycle engine. She roars if you have the SPORT automatic or manual definitely recommend changing tranny fluid every 60-80 thousand miles. Definitely a tank of a car. Like owning a mini truck when it comes to space a well
I use to have a 1986 honda city turbo 2, it had all of this and more. The rear seats did the same but we're also quick release so you could take them out. it had a drinks can fridge in the dash and it also had a factory 50cc trunk scooter on the rear.
On man, I need to go check my rear seats for that slot! I've never noticed them. It really is a great car and it's been my favorite car to own due to its reliability, storage and unobstructed view from the drivers seat. My WRX was obnoxiously fast and my RX-8 was obnoxiously loud but the Honda Fit was the car that won my heart. Nearly 300,000 km and I hope it's around for another 200,000!
I'm currently on my 2nd Fit. 1st was maybe a 2013 model & the current one I have is the 2018 model. Loved the cupholders more in the 2013, but I love the lane watch camera on the passenger-side mirror more. Even before I had my license, I knew I wanted a Honda Fit. Love how compact it is. The year they announced hybrid models for the UK, while also announcing they were discontinuing the Fit in the US, I was very disappointed. It is by far the best car, imo. Great on gas. Great storage. Doesn't look that bad, in terms of style. The interior is cheap, but not terrible.
I agree. 40-year Honda loyalist here. I had a 2011 Fit Sport (manual). One of my previous Hondas was a 88 CRX Si, and my Fit felt like the second coming of that wonderful car: small, light-ish (500 lbs heavier than the Si but the slightly better torque+HP made the diff). And it packed a heaping gob of stuff in the rear end or behind the seats. I regularly traveled with it packed. I'm in an Integra now, and I miss my old short front end, narrow body, and most of all, the rear Magic Seats. And the Integra only has 25% of the cupholders my Fit did!
Agreed in every regard. Many wonderful stories about my 14 year old Fit but my favorite is driving from Taos New Mexico to Colorado Springs during a surprise blizzard through the mountains. I was sweating bullets and cars and many trucks were going off the road into the gutters and down the embankments left and right. I put my car in first gear and just puttered with white knuckles safely all the way to my destination, very late but very safe and it never lost its footing. I’ve moved myself cross country more times than I can count and slept many nights in the spacious cargo area to stay safe. Greatest vehicle of all time!
Bought my Jazz Vibe S 1,5 L Auto, brand new from 2012. It's not a sports hatch but handles like one, 11 years gone by and it's still in good shape and very reliable. From Sydney...
I've my owned my 2012 Fit Sport since new. Same white and wheels as yours. With the manual transmission, it's blast to drive! Like it's been said before, it's way more practical fun to drive a slow car fast as a daily driver than a fast car slow.
Honda Fit is a non-rusting and modular Fiesta. It is a great car, reliable and economic. The best thing about those cars is that they handle so well with little suspension mods (torsion bar, lowering springs, wider tires, tinner sidewalls). Nice video!
Love my Gk5 - 2019 Fit Sport 6m - I have it down to 2439lbs and is getting 46mpg highway and 40mpg in-town. Great car for hauling stuff and fun handling for what it is.
2018 Fit Sport in grey. I pay it off in April 2023 and to celebrate I’m getting it detailed and am going to upgrade the wheels a little. I love this car every day!
I just bought my 2008 Honda Fit automatic this summer. I paid $3000 with 198,000 miles. This thing has awesome power and gets 36 mpg during summer and 26-30 mpg during the winter. I put snow tires on the front and get around in 4" of snow just fine and it handles the icy roads great at 70mph! I also hauled a 20 ton hydraulic shop press in it. This thing is like a pickup truck!
Great video and I agree. I had the 2008 Fit and loved it so much I bought the 2015 Fit. I gave the 2008 to my son who is still driving it. No car is perfect but the Fit comes close.
You look like the camera guy from Gears and Gasoline, but you look better. Great video. I like your straight forward approach. You are not trying to win approval but being honest and giving openion based on experience of Honda fit. Nice work.
I have one, owned it for 3 years. Honestly no complaints. Its a dream to drive and absolutely bulletproof. The low profile tyres on the 16 inch rims do become a bit of a problem when it comes to potholes in the road. Unfortunate thats just the roads of South Africa. But, i do love my Jazz to bits
I have always been a Toyota fan, but bought a 2014 fit brand new, with the automatic and it has never had a mechanical issue. Almost 320,000 M. On the original automatic transmission! It truly is an amazing vehicle. Perfect for camping, traveling carrying pets or long distance trips. I love that little car
Great Video Dude. I've been driving a 2010 Fit Sport since new. It's awesome. It's helped safely propel our family around the Toronto area for years. It's also been on multiple East Coast Canada trips multiple times. I cannot believe how well it purr's like a kitten even at 265K. Get one of these folks if you are looking. Epic car.
I adore my 2016 Fit. 229,000 miles, nary a problem. Yeah, mostly cruise control highway commuting miles with lots of on time maintenance. But what a fun ride!
I had a 2011 for 7 years. Had to wait a few months to get a manual 5speed, but it was worth it. Honda makes great transmissions. I bought a second set of wheels with Nokian Hakkapellitta snow tires and it turned into a Honda snowmobile. The times I did sporty driving I found it comes alive above 90 mph, the engine is just sweet! But most of the time I drove for fuel efficiency, and my accumulated 7-year average was 43.7 mpg. You can do that if you pay attention. Inside, I folded the seats down and put a piece of plywood with quick release mounts so I could carry two bikes upright, easy and secure. Loved it, loved it, loved it. My only regret is not taking it to a track or autocross.
I loved my fit. Drove through tons of Minnesota blizzards. Drifted across ice patches. Crammed a surprising amount of stuff in the trunk/ fold down backseat. 7/7
I own a 2015 manual LX fit bought in late 2014. Would not sell or trade for anything. Love it, carries up to five people, lots of crap as well "fits", snowblower, lawnmower, heaps of shopping bags/boxes - but gets great mileage, never broke down, and is fun to drive. Love my fit.
I’ve always had trucks, cause I’ve always needed to pull a trailer, but now I want to play around with food delivery this seems like the best option out of all the cars plus I like the way it looks
I had a 07 Honda Fit. I put 350,000 miles on it before I sold it. I loved it. Thank you for making the best and the greatest Honda Fit video ever created in the history of videos. :)
My wife had a 2010 2nd gen Fit and now drives a 2016 3rd gen Fit. The best part about this car you didn't mention is that with the back seats folded down, it measures 39" from loading floor to roof. This is WAY MORE than most, if not all, SUVs (I measured ten vehicles, mostly SUVs, at the local auto show in 2016). It's the perfect car for one or two people and a medium to large dog in the back because of this height. Two drawbacks: 1, being an entry level car, the front seats are uncomfortable for us after 30-45 minutes (we are both retired now). 2, the seats don't go back far enough for me to drive comfortably.
I’ve been driving a red ‘05 Jazz (Aus) for about 3 years which I only bought bc it was cute and cheap even at the height of covid and I’ve never regretted it. Even with parts wearing out and needing to be replaced now which I can’t fault it for at like 19 years old, I love it to death and will 100% only upgrade to a newer Jazz when the time comes to part with it 🥹 Glad the love for the Jazz/Fit is universal 😂 also this video is immaculate just what an absolute vibe
My 3rd gen manual tranny FIT does almost everything I want/need. Put on some Megan sway bars and it handles & corners VERY well, sporty, balance, neutral and flat but still a comfortable ride unlike springs while still having factory ride height. Roof rack on top for kayak or cargo box for travel/camping. Hitch rack for mtb, or trailer. Trailer carries a moto (32mpg) or a little boat (35mpg) while still getting decent gas mileage. Put in AirLift bags in the rear to maintain ride height with trailer and/or car fully loaded and it made a huge difference in ride/drive quality. Never have to worry about sagging rear and associated problems.
Agree - a super functional, wonderful little car. My only two issues with it are driving position (6'2") and the seat doesn't really go back far enough and the ergo has me stretched out forward more than what is comfortable, and second, they really, really, really should have made an Si version with the 1.5 turbo, 6 speed, upgraded brake/suspension package. Other than that, it really is one of the best, well thought out vehicles in recent history.

jazz/fit is pretty quick for a small car with a little NA engine
it also did really well in moose test

I totally agree. I've had my 09 Honda fit sport for a couple years and I've drove across country a few times already. Cruise control is your best friend. It's not great too sleep out of but that's what camping is for
I learned to drive on my dads 2014 fit sport, loved that car to pieces. Broke my heart when the lease ended and he gave it back
this is, by far, the best car commercial I've ever seen. Commenting for the algorithm, please make more videos!
I have a 2012 fit. I’ve had her for 2 years, I have a 2 hour commute and she has done me so good. I love that car.
I love how out of all the sick cars you’ve posted, this one has done the best on RUclips haha!
Great video👍🏽😁
I just gotta say the way the intro of the music and the drop lines up with the visuals and Luke talking is actually really emotional lmao like it really feels like he loves this car
I love your style and demand *more*
Very well-made!
Keep in mind it is unlawful to film a video while driving where you live.
Proper power to weight ratio. Decent interior, functional, easy to load stuff, good aerodynamic, budget price car.
I recently just bought my first car which is a 2011 Fit. I got curious and looked up videos about it. Seeing people talk highly about it makes me feel glad to have bought the Fit and ecstatic to get it on the road :)
I love my 2009 second gen Fit. On the freeway in light traffic I can set the cruise at 80 and it's smooth, quick, and a blast to drive.
honestly havent heard title fight in a youtube video in ages. great music choice!
Hi!
I can confirm the statement of this video 100%.
I am a Student in Germany and got the Honda Fit (in Germany it's called "Jazz") from my parents, as they got a new car.
Since then I drove nearly 80'000km with it (now it has 160'000km on the clock) and it never failed me.
Its engine just runs perfectly fine, though I always warm it up before floring it and I give it regular maintenance.
But even in hot summer, driving on the Autobahn with 180 km/h for half an hour the engine works great and the seats are great too!
The only thing to deal with is the loud engine and wind noise above 110km/h.
Sure, there are some things like some lighting in the back and one window regulator broke, but other than that everything seems to be intact.
The cargo space is astonishing. I now and then have to help transporting lots of or big stuff around and e.g. a freezer of 100x90x80 cm fits into it.
All in all I am sure to drive this thing for many more kilometers and can highly recommend to get it, if you need a budget car that will be reliable and practical throughout time.
the title fight background music goes so hard. I subscribed the second I heard it.
This video was in my feed. I clicked because of the artistic shot of the car in the thumbnail.
So I know this video is making fun of the car, but I honestly have to mention the production quality on the video.
The lighting, the angles, the backgrounds, and of coarse the comedy.
Top notch videography !
Regarding the car, my relatives have this exact same car. They also have a Prius, and the Fit is constantly just below the Prius in MPG numbers ( avg 47 on Prius, to 41 - 44 on the Fit. )
This is in hot Texas heat with the A/C on full blast and driven normslly.
Automatic too.
I had no idea about the seats folding UP like that, so I'll be sure to mention it to them.
Great little review on the Honda Fit! My grandpa owns one, (2010 Auto Sport) and he's willing to hand it down to me as my first car in the next year or too, the thing has 0 issues and garaged 25% of the time, looks as if it was just bought from the dealer!
A friend of mine has a first gen Fit, and we round-tripped it from Eastern CT to Buffalo, NY, and back. Honestly, it performed pretty awesome, but those seats are not built for long trips. 20 hours in them will make you cry.
I've done that same trip in a Del Sol and a CRV, and it's definitely not just the trip length, it's the Fit seats.
yep its a petty small vehicl made for he city after all
@@marvin2678Small definitely doesn't have to mean uncomfortable, it's just up to how the manufacturer designed the vehicle.
My GD3 is amazing. Love how versatile the engine is for how big it is, definitely keep it natural aspirated meaning keeping it stock but if you mess with the fuel mixtures and depending on your area and treat it like a motorcycle engine. She roars
if you have the SPORT automatic or manual definitely recommend changing tranny fluid every 60-80 thousand miles. Definitely a tank of a car. Like owning a mini truck when it comes to space a well
I love my GD3 too..👌
perfect video< perfect choice of music, perfect car.
i adore your videos Luke. keep making videos like these, and with this kind of music.
Glad to see another Fit/Jazz fan ^^
And yeah, love how its engine sound, sounds very "Honda" despite being a city car
I love the vibes of this video, very well edited. The timing of that motorbike at 2:23 haha-
This video is such a vibe ... I drive 2016 honda fit and I love this car even when it has got some disadvantages ... love this video
I use to have a 1986 honda city turbo 2, it had all of this and more. The rear seats did the same but we're also quick release so you could take them out. it had a drinks can fridge in the dash and it also had a factory 50cc trunk scooter on the rear.
I really like my 08 sport MT! I got it waiting on a new truck to come in and i'll be keeping it! Super practical and fun to drive.
Agreed! I've always been a fan of the Magic Seat, wishing more compact hatches from other brands used that set up.
The title fight threw me off lol I thought my playlist was still playing for some reason. Fantastic taste
You had me at the intro song 😁It really is an amazing car!
“It’s gets you from point A to point B and that’s more than you can ask for with most cars” bro what 😂😂😂
On man, I need to go check my rear seats for that slot! I've never noticed them. It really is a great car and it's been my favorite car to own due to its reliability, storage and unobstructed view from the drivers seat. My WRX was obnoxiously fast and my RX-8 was obnoxiously loud but the Honda Fit was the car that won my heart. Nearly 300,000 km and I hope it's around for another 200,000!
wow thats quite some kilometres
I'm currently on my 2nd Fit. 1st was maybe a 2013 model & the current one I have is the 2018 model. Loved the cupholders more in the 2013, but I love the lane watch camera on the passenger-side mirror more. Even before I had my license, I knew I wanted a Honda Fit. Love how compact it is. The year they announced hybrid models for the UK, while also announcing they were discontinuing the Fit in the US, I was very disappointed. It is by far the best car, imo. Great on gas. Great storage. Doesn't look that bad, in terms of style. The interior is cheap, but not terrible.
You better buy rollroyce not that bad for the price😮
@@jofinger3877 I do plan to sell my Fit once the Aptera comes out.
I agree. 40-year Honda loyalist here. I had a 2011 Fit Sport (manual). One of my previous Hondas was a 88 CRX Si, and my Fit felt like the second coming of that wonderful car: small, light-ish (500 lbs heavier than the Si but the slightly better torque+HP made the diff). And it packed a heaping gob of stuff in the rear end or behind the seats. I regularly traveled with it packed. I'm in an Integra now, and I miss my old short front end, narrow body, and most of all, the rear Magic Seats. And the Integra only has 25% of the cupholders my Fit did!
That secret storage spot under the rear seat is a great feature when you have something you don't want other people to find!
Agreed in every regard. Many wonderful stories about my 14 year old Fit but my favorite is driving from Taos New Mexico to Colorado Springs during a surprise blizzard through the mountains. I was sweating bullets and cars and many trucks were going off the road into the gutters and down the embankments left and right. I put my car in first gear and just puttered with white knuckles safely all the way to my destination, very late but very safe and it never lost its footing. I’ve moved myself cross country more times than I can count and slept many nights in the spacious cargo area to stay safe. Greatest vehicle of all time!
My first car was a 2009 fit, honestly loved that thing. Wasn't super fast or anything but it was zippy and nice for a first car
The Honda Fit is truly the greatest car ever made
There we go! I agree with you...
Bought my Jazz Vibe S 1,5 L Auto, brand new from 2012. It's not a sports hatch but handles like one, 11 years gone by and it's still in good shape and very reliable. From Sydney...
I've my owned my 2012 Fit Sport since new. Same white and wheels as yours. With the manual transmission, it's blast to drive! Like it's been said before, it's way more practical fun to drive a slow car fast as a daily driver than a fast car slow.
I loved the banter. Keep it coming
I agree! White 2015 Honda fit with bike rack, dark tint and stick. I love it!
Honda Fit is a non-rusting and modular Fiesta. It is a great car, reliable and economic. The best thing about those cars is that they handle so well with little suspension mods (torsion bar, lowering springs, wider tires, tinner sidewalls). Nice video!
Actually Honda is quite rusty. And fit no exceptions. Almost all fits 2003+ in Russia are quite rusty with a lot of body repair. Otherwise great car😊
Not in Canada lol
@@scdu Dude I live in Canada.
Love my Gk5 - 2019 Fit Sport 6m - I have it down to 2439lbs and is getting 46mpg highway and 40mpg in-town. Great car for hauling stuff and fun handling for what it is.
i get about 45 during the warmer seasons.. only getting 39 now with it being cold
2018 Fit Sport in grey. I pay it off in April 2023 and to celebrate I’m getting it detailed and am going to upgrade the wheels a little. I love this car every day!
oh my god the bike clip was impeccable
Paid $4400 cash 5 years ago for 150k miles. Same Fit, 300k miles today, KBB says sell for $4500. 😂 God bless Honda.
I just bought my 2008 Honda Fit automatic this summer. I paid $3000 with 198,000 miles. This thing has awesome power and gets 36 mpg during summer and 26-30 mpg during the winter. I put snow tires on the front and get around in 4" of snow just fine and it handles the icy roads great at 70mph! I also hauled a 20 ton hydraulic shop press in it. This thing is like a pickup truck!
Great video and I agree. I had the 2008 Fit and loved it so much I bought the 2015 Fit. I gave the 2008 to my son who is still driving it. No car is perfect but the Fit comes close.
you had me at title fight.
You look like the camera guy from Gears and Gasoline, but you look better. Great video. I like your straight forward approach. You are not trying to win approval but being honest and giving openion based on experience of Honda fit. Nice work.
I have a first generation Honda fit (jazz) since 2005, it's an i-dsi 1.4L 86hp manual transmission with 65000 km and it's still running perfectly
bro this video was amazing. i need more.
my friend’s Fit was t-boned a few years back…I drove the same year civic (2007)…I miss driving side by side with the Fit…my one true pair
I have one, owned it for 3 years. Honestly no complaints. Its a dream to drive and absolutely bulletproof. The low profile tyres on the 16 inch rims do become a bit of a problem when it comes to potholes in the road. Unfortunate thats just the roads of South Africa. But, i do love my Jazz to bits
I have always been a Toyota fan, but bought a 2014 fit brand new, with the automatic and it has never had a mechanical issue. Almost 320,000 M. On the original automatic transmission! It truly is an amazing vehicle. Perfect for camping, traveling carrying pets or long distance trips. I love that little car
same here, 320K miles, all original
320K thats INSANE😳
Just got a '10 with 127k on it, and was worried it may be too high mileage lol
Great Video Dude. I've been driving a 2010 Fit Sport since new. It's awesome. It's helped safely propel our family around the Toronto area for years. It's also been on multiple East Coast Canada trips multiple times. I cannot believe how well it purr's like a kitten even at 265K. Get one of these folks if you are looking. Epic car.
I adore my 2016 Fit. 229,000 miles, nary a problem. Yeah, mostly cruise control highway commuting miles with lots of on time maintenance. But what a fun ride!
God damn you drive a lot
I totally agree, this car is really amazing. I used this car during 2011 - 2013…
I had a 2011 for 7 years. Had to wait a few months to get a manual 5speed, but it was worth it. Honda makes great transmissions. I bought a second set of wheels with Nokian Hakkapellitta snow tires and it turned into a Honda snowmobile. The times I did sporty driving I found it comes alive above 90 mph, the engine is just sweet! But most of the time I drove for fuel efficiency, and my accumulated 7-year average was 43.7 mpg. You can do that if you pay attention.
Inside, I folded the seats down and put a piece of plywood with quick release mounts so I could carry two bikes upright, easy and secure.
Loved it, loved it, loved it.
My only regret is not taking it to a track or autocross.
The title fight intro is insane
I loved my fit. Drove through tons of Minnesota blizzards. Drifted across ice patches. Crammed a surprising amount of stuff in the trunk/ fold down backseat. 7/7
I own a 2015 manual LX fit bought in late 2014. Would not sell or trade for anything. Love it, carries up to five people, lots of crap as well "fits", snowblower, lawnmower, heaps of shopping bags/boxes - but gets great mileage, never broke down, and is fun to drive. Love my fit.
I’ve always had trucks, cause I’ve always needed to pull a trailer, but now I want to play around with food delivery this seems like the best option out of all the cars plus I like the way it looks
love the music! A man of taste not only in cars!
the sound clip really had me right until the end
I had a 07 Honda Fit. I put 350,000 miles on it before I sold it. I loved it. Thank you for making the best and the greatest Honda Fit video ever created in the history of videos. :)
Fit 2010 was my first car and it never let me down. The practicality, predictability and value for money it offers is unparallel.
Why does this feels like a school project video
My wife had a 2010 2nd gen Fit and now drives a 2016 3rd gen Fit. The best part about this car you didn't mention is that with the back seats folded down, it measures 39" from loading floor to roof. This is WAY MORE than most, if not all, SUVs (I measured ten vehicles, mostly SUVs, at the local auto show in 2016). It's the perfect car for one or two people and a medium to large dog in the back because of this height. Two drawbacks: 1, being an entry level car, the front seats are uncomfortable for us after 30-45 minutes (we are both retired now). 2, the seats don't go back far enough for me to drive comfortably.
I bought my fit based on a meme page on Instagram and I've never regretted it. Love the car.
i just bought it because of the honda fit music (by kay flow)
I’ve been driving a red ‘05 Jazz (Aus) for about 3 years which I only bought bc it was cute and cheap even at the height of covid and I’ve never regretted it. Even with parts wearing out and needing to be replaced now which I can’t fault it for at like 19 years old, I love it to death and will 100% only upgrade to a newer Jazz when the time comes to part with it 🥹
Glad the love for the Jazz/Fit is universal 😂 also this video is immaculate just what an absolute vibe
FIT GANG STAND UP! Have an 08 GD3 and is has been dope with the reliability, 34 mpg, and able to fit my whole bike without removing the wheel.
My 3rd gen manual tranny FIT does almost everything I want/need. Put on some Megan sway bars and it handles & corners VERY well, sporty, balance, neutral and flat but still a comfortable ride unlike springs while still having factory ride height. Roof rack on top for kayak or cargo box for travel/camping. Hitch rack for mtb, or trailer. Trailer carries a moto (32mpg) or a little boat (35mpg) while still getting decent gas mileage. Put in AirLift bags in the rear to maintain ride height with trailer and/or car fully loaded and it made a huge difference in ride/drive quality. Never have to worry about sagging rear and associated problems.
That sound clip was top notch.
Agree - a super functional, wonderful little car. My only two issues with it are driving position (6'2") and the seat doesn't really go back far enough and the ergo has me stretched out forward more than what is comfortable, and second, they really, really, really should have made an Si version with the 1.5 turbo, 6 speed, upgraded brake/suspension package. Other than that, it really is one of the best, well thought out vehicles in recent history.
You need bigger car. Theres nothing wrong with the seat, is a compact car
@@jofinger3877the seat could stand to go back further though
Yo. It’s cool to see you outside of the G&GCU. I hope everyone gets this joke. Lol
shout out to title fight.
Tight video dude
Really was not expecting to hear title fight when I clicked on this lol
The fact that you played crescent shaped depression for the intro let's me know you know exactly talking about
I totally agree, my 2018 Fit Sport fits me like a glove. 😎
