2015 Honda Fit Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I don't recommend the 'pearl' colour as after a few years the paint chips very badly. Even though it's a reliable and comfortable car. And while Honda extended it's warranty just for that reason....the chipping didn't start on mine until after that extended warranty had already ended. And Honda refused to do anything about it...except to charge me 2300 dollars to repaint it. And to decline their 'goodwill' offer to extend the warranty further. They wrote me: "We always encourage customers to get their vehicle examined and fully repaired regardless if goodwill is extended. Once goodwill has been declined, there is nothing further that Honda Canada can do offer financial assistance".

Great overall little commuter hatchback. We got ours a few years old with low mileage due to the options we wanted. The other reviews are kind of silly on here, complaining about a car due to lack of options selected by the buyer. Yes it wont have heated seats if you dont get the heated seat models lol. Our model is the EX, it has a sunroof, blind mirror indicator, heated seats, and a manual 6 speed transmission. Basically all features any high end model could use, I dont like leather seats due to the degradation long term. Just make sure you avoid the CVT transmission. Our area would not offer manual 6 speed on the high end trim so we had to travel out of state to get ours. Few mods added to the car to make it even better: - bi-led projector retrofit on headlights - led bulbs all around, plates, interior. - auto dim rear view mirror (easy wire in) - front facing dash cam - sirius satellite radio - winter aluminum rims (instead of steelies), summer has factory 17" aluminum black/silver combo - towing hitch (bike carrier) -- vehicle rated at 2000 lbs Overall its been very reliable, super practical with the folding seats. It gets excellent fuel efficiency and fits everywhere. Power wise, its very snappy given with a manual transmission you can control it a lot better than the sloppy CVT. The manual does 0-60mph in 8 seconds or less, which is very fast for a little car. Its not a tesla or a GTR with 130hp but its plenty for its 36-40 mpg. One issue ours had was the starter went out really early, but it was an easy change out, its a known issue. The seats are not very comfortable for long trips but thats because they are so small and its a commuter car. The cam gear also can get noisy on these at start up, so they will rattle but has no impact to performance. We have just over 100k miles on ours and its a very strong little car, will be getting another one of the final production year as this one gets higher in mileage. Again get the manual 6, you will not regret it, honda manual cars are semi automatic, the clutch is like a feather vs. a subaru for example. Totally worth it.

This car is on the slow side, but can be peppy if the buyer is willing to consider a manual transmission. Having a second Cam, and weighing less than the previous generation is a boon to it's performance. While the Car is certainly comfortable, it's lacking heated seats is a tad unfortunate. The handling is great with maybe a lighter steering feel, but on wider tires that goes away. The Fit feels equally at home carving mountain passes as it does on city streets. As for the styling, there are fake vents on the rear of the car that are somewhat distracting to me, but those have been slimmed down with models more recent than the 2015 I bought. The magic seats are an awesome space saving solution and the rear seats have much more space than the car is given credit for. All in all, it is an excellent car with good feel, and great value.

Great for a subcompact car! Pros: very fuel efficient, more room than I thought, smooth ride considering the size, does well in snow and sub zero temps despite the size and smaller battery, easy to work on, comfortable and reliable Cons: windshield scratches easily, had to get the starter replaced when it was only at 36,000 miles, smaller battery with only 370 CCA, stock lights aren't very good, tire size is harder to find so more pricey, most universal fit products will not fit the car.

The good: it is economical on gas, lots of cargo space, decent driving on the highways, I find the seats comfortable. The one bad thing that stands out, and this may be a larger Honda issue, is that the windshield glass is so cheap that the wipers have etched and pitted the windshield of a car that's under 10 years. This causes a visual hazard when driving at night.

This car was perfect size for me. It has comfort, style, is a great color, runs very smooth. New Orleans is full of potholes and it handles very well. It is also a quiet car.

Car is great for pleasure driving, Great for retirees. Drives nice, handles well. I have owned many cars, its one of my favorites. It would also be great for a young adult or college student.

This vehicle saved me a lot of money on gas. The seats are comfortable, there's an insane amount of room in the front and back, and the trunk space is amazing.

This car has excellent fuel efficiency, excellent power for a 1.5, and excellent features for an entry level vehicle. People complaining about infotainment on an entry level car are spoiled. The folding seats are awesome, and the interior in general is great. However, THIS IS THE LEAST RELIABLE CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I've noticed most of the reviews on here are from when the car was new. Well, mine has 99,000 miles and already needs a $2200 fuel injector repair. Honda has not yet figured out direct injection as well as toyota has, and the engines get caked in carbon buildup and can cause an unbelievable amount of problems. As someone with one of the oldest Gen 3 Fits in the country, stay away. Buy a yaris. The handy gimmicks of the Fit do not outweigh the mechanical issues.

I have owned two Honda Fits in my lifetime. Both cars performed tremendously. I would highly recommend anyone purchase a Honda Fit. After my last Honda Fit, I purchased a small SUV. From that experience, I have learned that my small SUV (Kia Soul) does not hold any more cargo than the Honda Fit did. In fact, I think the Honda Fit could hold more.
