Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Fit.
The 2017 Honda Fit is a subcompact passenger car powered by a four-cylinder engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission (AV-S7), delivering EPA-estimated fuel economy of 32 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined, while requiring 3.5 quarts of 0W-20 oil for maintenance. This model year represents a mature iteration of the Fit platform, benefiting from over a decade of production refinements since the nameplate's 2007 introduction. In terms of reliability, the 2017 model recorded 42 owner complaints with the electrical system emerging as the primary concern area, though notably there were zero recalls issued for this model year. When placed within the model's complaint history spanning 2007 to 2020, where complaints peaked at 369 in 2007 and reached a low of 35 in 2020, the 2017 Fit demonstrates a substantial improvement over early production years while indicating room for continued refinement relative to the model's most reliable iterations.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2017 Honda Fit sits at the low point of its generation’s federal-record curve, logging just 42 NHTSA complaints, zero recalls, one investigation, and no crash or fire complaints. That is a steep improvement from 2016 (117 complaints, 1 recall) and a clear dip before complaints and recalls rose again in 2018 (114 complaints, 4 recalls) and 2019 (134 complaints, 6 recalls). Across the 2015–2020 arc, the pattern moves from a troubled launch year in 2015 (280 complaints, 139 TSBs, 4 recalls), downward through 2016–2017, then back up in 2018–2019 before easing in 2020. Leading 2017 complaint areas are Electrical System (9), Engine (4), Structure (4), and Fuel/Propulsion System (4), with 58 TSBs; the data does not identify specific root causes. Because 2017 falls at the bottom of the complaint/recall trend and lacks the recall activity seen in neighboring years, it is one of the stronger used-Fit choices in this generation.
