Overview

The 2019 Honda Fit literally fits almost anywhere in the urban jungle due to its subcompact design but can also swallow more cargo than you’d expect. It can also seat four adult occupants including the driver with utmost comfort while squeezing in one extra passenger won’t make the fifth one feel claustrophobic. The 2019 model year of the Fit gets no notable upgrades, barring the new optional automatic headlamp feature. 

Apart from scoring big on space, the compact city car also impresses on the safety department by offering automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning with assist right from the base LX trim in its automatic transmission guise. Under the hood of this vehicle lies a standard 1.5-liter naturally aspirated I-4 DOHC i-VTEC motor that generates 130 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. The performance and handling feel adequate for both city and highway usage while the exceptional refinement of that i-VTEC is noticeable out on the freeways. In the segment, the Fit competes with the Nissan Versa Note, the Chevrolet Spark, and the Kia Rio hatchback.

Buying Advice

The extensive list of features on the Honda Fit makes it appealing right from the base LX trim itself. Since the hatchback is offered with the same powertrain throughout the lineup, you can choose your trim according to your needs. We would recommend the EX trim since it gets almost all the necessary gizmos on a budget.

              My best Honda ever!!!!

              Pros - ["The single best feature of my Honda Fit EXL is that it will easily hold 4 adults 6 foot tall very comfortably", "The two way folding rear seats create amazing space for loading and moving stuff from here to there and it is done quite efficiently as my total average MPG is almost 33 for over 33k miles.", "My Fit drives well and is the go to car for trips when we dont pack much and as always it is super easy to find parking for it."]

              Cons - ["This is a known issue on all Hondas - visors have a design defect that cause them to lean down after a year or two of use. However, there is a solution one can find on you tube to fix it that is quite cheap.", "We have had one AC issue before it was a year old. My wife was riding with me on date night and commented that the AC was not cold enough. I had scheduled maintenance the next week and told them about this issue and sure enough there was vey tiny leak in a pipe. The replaced it under warranty and refilled the coolant and it has worked great since then", "This Fit was purchased in the state of Washington and driven back home to FL. Once we started taking to the local dealership in Fort Lauderdale they always said to keep an eye on the tires as they were just so so. Now we live in Austin TX and the dealership here says they will need to be replaced this year. Only 33k miles on these tires so that is disappointing"]

              Since I graduated from college in 1980 I have always owned and driven a Honda product ( I bought a Acura Integra that I loved and traded it in for an Accord after the birth of our first daughter). My very first was an Accord Hatchback that retired with 187K miles on it. After that it was a pair of 4 door Accords due to the birth of my two daughters and both of them got close to 200k miles before ...
