2025 Honda Fit Review
Honda Fit 1.5L Petrol Singapore Review: HDB Parking Pro + 2025 COE Savings Guide
Looking for a compact hatchback that’s easy to park, fuel-efficient, and still practical enough for Singaporean roads? The Honda Fit 1.5L Petrol may be your perfect match — especially if you’re navigating narrow HDB lots or planning your car purchase smartly with the 2025 COE trends in mind.
In this review, we break down why the Honda Fit remains a favorite among first-time car buyers, city drivers, and COE-conscious shoppers.
🚗 Compact, Yet Surprisingly Spacious
The Honda Fit 1.5L Petrol offers a perfect balance between compact dimensions and interior space. At just around 4 meters long, it’s easy to slip into tight parking spots — ideal for HDB multistorey car parks and parallel lots. Despite the size, the “Man Maximum, Machine Minimum” design philosophy delivers excellent headroom and boot space.
🅿️ The Ultimate HDB Parking Car
Struggling with tight HDB ramps or narrow pillars? The Honda Fit’s tight turning radius, excellent visibility, and rear-view camera make maneuvering stress-free. Its lightweight body and responsive steering are ideal for urban drivers who face daily stop-start traffic and tight parking.
You can even fold down the rear Magic Seats vertically, turning your Honda Fit into a mini cargo van — great for IKEA runs or moving boxes.
💰 Why 2025 Might Be the Right Time to Buy
The COE (Certificate of Entitlement) for Category A (cars under 1600cc and 130bhp) — where the Honda Fit belongs — is expected to gradually soften in 2025 as the vehicle deregistration peak from 2015–2016 slows down.
If you’re planning to own a car for 8–10 years, buying a fuel-efficient and Category A car like the Fit can help you:
- ✅ Lower upfront cost
- ✅ Reduced depreciation
- ✅ Better long-term resale value
-
✅ Affordable road tax and maintenance
🎯 Who Should Buy the Honda Fit?
- New drivers who want something easy to control
- Young couples with occasional rear passengers
PHV drivers who want fuel economy without overspending on COE - Budget-conscious families who don’t need an MPV
- Delivery riders upgrading to car for Grab or Lalamove
