| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | 15,100 as a starting point for a 5 speed base which now comes with cruise!!! Why spend extra for the sport all you get is a spoiler, fog lights and alloy rims (1700.00 more ) Plus I got .90% financing. Thank you Honda!!! |

| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | It was under 20k, but more expensive than the similar models from other manufacturers. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Paid MSRP for base fit, used honda finance, with low down payment my monthly payments are $240 (60 months). Not bad for a new car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | I only considered cars that would cost $20,000 or less, including tax and fees. My Fit was less than $17,000. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | I only consider cars that I could purchase for $20,000 or less, including tax and fees. My Fit was under $17,000, including tax and fees. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | cheap for a new car. My payments are only $250 a month. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | This car was a great value for the money. We could have paid less for a similar hatchback, but I don't feel we would have gotten the safety or reliability of the Fit. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Much lower total price than H.Civic or Accord EX. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | It was a reasonable price and the dealer gave a low interest rate on payments. |

| Price of the Honda Fit: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Honda seems to be relying very much on its brand image to justify the high price for this car. The older design felt premium if austere on the inside. This newer iteration feels gimicky but has a slightly higher feature level. But the fit and finish is fair and totally unbecoming of a Honda. Base level models have poor seat fabrics. And the car (any version) feels tinny and flimsy overall for the money being paid. This car should cost $13000 to $ 15000 max. Buying a fit over $15K seem to be counter-intuitive as there are a lot of cars out there that offer much better value for the money. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Base price was less than the Scion xD but by the time the extra packages were added it was more. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD | More expensive than the xB for less standard features and room. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Hard to find inexpensive and used. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Price was very high as compared to the Yaris when I test drove it. The low end model was not available at the time. |

| Price of the Toyota Matrix: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 123-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | The Matrix price represents good value for the features and quality. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Lease payments were very low. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | In the summer of 2007, I bought this car from a Lincoln-Mercury dealership that had taken it in trade - for $8,995. The car was (and still is) in excellent condition. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | It was pretty cheap to buy - $8000. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | Climate control & stereo system in base model. Rear wipers and defrost should be standard. Rear window becomes translucent with heavy rain or snow, which can be cleared easily by 1-3 wiper cycles. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD | The Matrix was an affordable car. At the time, there were very few options under $20k that met all our needs. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic AWD | Price was $3000 more than the Elantra after the options were added. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Price was a little higher than I wanted but i guess you pay more for quality. |

| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Main touchpoints are solid. Nothing has a rough edge. Even less common touchpoints are at least pleasant in texture. Hardly a squeak or rattle, doesn't flex over wacky surfaces. Fit and finish is overall very good. Panel gaps are tight and even. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The car is put together solidly, with few rattles and squeaks. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The interior materials are high quality and do not feel cheap. The transmissions shift lever pops into gear very smoothly and the steering wheel feels very positive in the hands. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Even the cheap plastic looks good. They know how to build a car that looks good and wears well without charging a ton. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There is a lot of attention to detail and evidence of sound engineering throughout the car. Engine compartment is neatly organized. Material quality is excellent for a car at this price. No glaring evidence of cost cutting anywhere, amazing for a $15k car |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
All of the hard plastic trim parts fit very well. No rattles or squeaks noted in daily driving over a variety of street surfaces. Ergonomics and dash/control design is very good and visually appealing. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
typical Honda quality does not feel "cheap" |

| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Compared to the Fiesta there is less attention to details. Fit lacks padded door armrest. Controls are more cluttered up. |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The car seemed to be made out of very low-grade material. The seat covers, the body panels, the carpeting. You could hear the radio outside of the car even with doors/windows shut tight. The seatcovers never could stay lint/hair free. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very Plastic |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Cheap - plastic and floor mats slide around. Vent tabs not working and seat material looks like it will wear easily. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap carpet used in the rear and on the seat backs. Cheaper carpet used for the floor mats. |

Solid. Good workmanship. I also like the plastic floor in the cargo area, which is easy to clean after transporting a muddy dog. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Uninspired and the options when going from S to the XRS only seemed to focus on the musical components and tire profiles. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
rattles, from the first day. quality of workmanship and assembly was so poor. car was vibrating on idle like an old tractor. tried to fix the rattles - it was impossible. the dealer was useless and helpless as well. miserable car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
low quality plastics. rattles from the first day of ownership. low quality material of steering wheel - becomes very cold during the winter. low quality fabric on chairs. very cheap and unsuitable OEM tires. car is shaking on neutral like crazy. :-( |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
Cheap paint chips way too easy on front bumper and hood. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 173-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Rattles galore on the interior. Car body was assembled incorrectly and resulted in a rubbing noise that required Toyota to cut out and replace entire A pillar from roof to rocker panel. Got rid of the car after as the warranty expired due to this issue. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior is lined by a softish plastic; easily scored, marred, and scratched. However, for the cheap material, the trim and fit is tight. |
| 2003 | 4dr Hatch 180-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
it was sloppily put together at the factory and was never a pleasant car to be in. Chrome bits on the dash were blinding. |
