Reset the engine oil life display Honda Fit
The third generation of the Fit made it quicker, safer and even more fuel-efficient. It also brought modern era connectivity and amenities such as optional heated leather seats. By and large, it carries over the Fit's trademarks of incredible space efficiency and interior versatility. The rear seat performs the same tricks of folding flat and low, or flipping up the bottom cushions to create a deep well. Handling is nimble, which makes the car fun for carving corners. The engine is responsive and fuel economy is respectable at 33 mpg overall. However, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) has its quirks and amplifies engine noise too much. The ride is less nervous in than previous models, but plenty stiff. The cabin is also loud, particularly on the highway. Ultimately, the Fit is more about being a practical local runabout than a road trip companion, even if it can pack all your belongings. 

The Honda Fit subcompact hatchback has always been an appealing urban runabout. Thanks to its clever multi-configurable seating, the Fit delivers versatility similar to that of a small SUV. The Fit gets great fuel economy at 33 mpg overall. But that comes with excessive noise when the continuously variable transmission keeps the engine at high revs. Handling is responsive, but the Fit has a stiff ride. On top of that, the cabin is loud, making the Fit unfit for long drives. Opting for the EX brings a sunroof and paddle shifters; the EX-L includes heated leather seats. The button-free touch-screen radio on EX and higher trims is a constant frustration, and the seats and driving position aren't very comfortable. For 2018 the Fit gets a freshening and offers the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety features.
