Used Honda Fit: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Honda Fit from 2010 to 2020, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $5,500 to $17,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2010–2013, 2016–2020. Look harder at or skip 2015.

A practical subcompact hatchback with versatile Magic Seats and very good fuel economy.

Worth knowing
- 2015: owner complaints spike (282, mostly the electrical system).
- Road noise is high, and the touchscreen-only controls in many trims can be slow and distracting.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EX: it adds a sunroof, a larger touchscreen, LaneWatch and push-button start over the LX. From 2018, the EX also got Honda Sensing with automatic braking.
On the test drive
Ask whether the CVT fluid has been changed, and feel for shudder or hesitation when pulling away. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: optional from 2018, never standard in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2018, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
