Is the Honda Fit a good buy?
Whether it’s a smart purchase comes down to what you pay, how you finance it, and how well it holds value. In the Mainstream tier, the Fit is projected to keep about 66% of its value after three years — the point where many owners look to trade or settle. A bigger deposit and a small (or no) balloon keep you in positive equity sooner. Model your own deal in the equity calculator.

How is this future value estimated?
We apply a make-and-body depreciation curve to a representative new price. Real resale prices vary with condition, mileage, spec and the market — treat these as estimates, not a quote.
