What Owners Say
"plastic inserts fell out while driving"
Anonymous, FL (2009 Honda Fit Sport 1.5-L 4 Cyl)""Clear coat has been slowly peeling over last 7-10 years. It isn't worth the cost to fix it. It used to sit in sun outside, but now we have a garage to put car in.""
Anonymous, CA (2009 Honda Fit Base 1.5-L 4 Cyl)"the paint color is/was red. It is now faded to pink on all horizontal/nearly horizontal surfaces and in the transition area to the vertical surfaces the top coat (clear lacquer) is pealing off."
Anonymous, CA (2009 Honda Fit Sport 1.5-L 4 Cyl)"Paint peeling and cracking on the hood and roof."
Anonymous A., OR (2009 Honda Fit Sport 1.5-L 4 Cyl)""paint fading,cracking,peeling on entire top pf venicle""
Anonymous, FL (2009 Honda Fit Sport 1.5-L 4 Cyl)"In the 9 years we have owned it, this car has been reliable, economical, peppy and virtually problem free. Now, our mechanic tells us he found extensive rust underneath and under the hood, so it probably won't pass its next inspection. But in Vermont, with all the salt they have to use on the roads, 16 years is a great run."
Anonymous A., VT (2009 Honda Fit)""Rust has formed around the rear wheel wells and along the rear of the lower trim, below rear doors. Husband has had to do body work there. Trim is starting to fall off. Sport model.""

"The vehicle had the front bumper replaced around 2015 following a minor collision, however the tabs that "lock it" into the front fenders have been disengaging. Usually a tap with a rubber mallet, or a strike with the side of a fist will realign it,but this is only a temporary fix."
