What are some common problems with the Honda Fit?

I live in the suburbs and I have to commute every day. My current car finally died, so I’m looking for something economical and fuel-efficient. The Honda Fit seems like a good fit (no pun intended), but I just want to make sure it’s reliable. Are there any common problems with the Honda Fit?

In the off-chance that it does, here are some of the common problems with the Honda Fit you should pay attention to:
  • Ignition coil failure around 50,000 miles, which can cause a loss of power
  • Failure of the starter around 50,000 miles
  • Problems with the
    key fob
    , even after replacing the battery
  • The paint chipping off after only a few years
