does Honda fit drive smoothly upwards on the hill slopes?

Yes. it does not struggle for power because it does not lack any. Even with a fully occupied car it will drive uphill easily.

Nope, it wouldn't even be able to make it half way up before going backwards! No Power and it's a death trap! The only way to get it up is with the 2 people pushing it up. Good luck buying a death trap! I suggest a lot safer and bigger car!

sure it can, it might have a small engine but it is light and has close gearing. One of my cars is a horribly underpowered car. A ford escape with a 4 cylinder manual. If a suv equiped with a 4 can do it a lighter fit with vtec can do it.

sure it will go up a very small hill. if you want to climb hills get something with power. i don't know about you but i wouldn't want the loaded big rigs passing me while going up hill.

Honda Fit 109 hp with 1.5l engine, auto , drives up the Cahone Pass, (interstate 15) will do 80 easy speed limit+10 and have gone up to 95 ( no hwy patrol in view) before going over the crest. ( tractor trailers do 20-45 max.) one person driving. The constant velocity trans works smooth. If I floored the throttle, I believe I can get 120 up the hill. and do max 140 over the top. May end up with lots of Hwy Patrol cars on my tail !!

I just bought one and it is pretty zippy. Don't have a lot of hills but it will get up and go. My problem is that I don't get anywhere near the promised gas mileage and that's when I drive extremely carefully. You also need to know that the fit will only carry 850 lbs. It is not built for heavy loads of any type. I didn't realize that. I have a BIG family and altho' it seats five, I can't take them all and their big purses. I have to say you and you can go but the rest of you need to get a different ride. I would have bought bigger if I had known. And you are sitting on the gas tank. I like it and would like it more if it suited my needs more.

The Honda Fit, despite the fact that is has a small engine, is a smooth operator on hills, since the five-speed automatic (or manual) has close ratios and shifts smoothly. It should have no trouble climbing slopes that are within reason.
