Tested with standard side airbags, including curtains for head protection and torso bags for front seat occupants, the Fit scored Good ratings on Front and Side testing, but got a Poor on rear crash testing. Given their track record of outstanding safety scores recently, it’s odd to see a Poor next to the Honda name. The Fit, which was widely praised by automotive journalists, gets that dreaded “P”, however. What’s more, interested buyers and owners should note that the IIHS conducted two tests: the first, on cars built before November of 2006, resulted in a delay of the side head airbag – causing serious damage. According to the automaker, Honda has fixed the problem on all Fits built after November, and will recall prior-built Fits.
