What You May Not Like About The Honda Fit.

Just like any other vehicle, the used Japanese Honda fit has its own shortcomings. People who use or have used the vehicle usually complain about the noisy engine and the ride. They say that the vehicle has abrupt ride characteristics in certain situations.
Besides some users complain about diminished performance when the vehicle is loaded to full capacity. More so, the seats in the pre - face lift models are said to be uncomfortable.

In conclusion, one can safely say that a Japanese Honda fit is a fairly good car. There is no vehicle that is 100% perfect. After all, the weaknesses of the vehicle tend to be just a drop in the ocean compared to the advantages and strengths.
