-My Driver seat gets fresh with me. It likes to pinch my butt a little between the two different fabrics on the seat.
-The front cup holders are pretty far forward. If you set your seat for the air-bags you have to lean forward to get your drink. Large American fast food drink cups also have to be tilted to be put in or taking them out.
Things I love about my Fit:
-great mileage
-Zippy response
-great cornering
-Looks cool
-I feel like I am up high for such a little car
-Where did all that room come from?
-Safety
-More I can’t think of now
The things that bug me are really no concern and most will be taken car of in after market stuff.

oh yeah.....and about the middle console/armrest not being there.....
I am fortunate enough where as my current POS car does not have one either, but being a person who likes drving a stick car, I got used to it not being there and i just rest my hand on my stick or my passenger seat....its not a big deal.....

Pros: gas mileage, handling, roomy interior, "cute" factor
Cons: no aux input on base model
My old car had an arm rest but I never used it, so I don't miss it in the Fit. Same with the dead pedal - didn't use it before, don't miss it now.

Pros: 1. Great styling, cute/cool design, yet sporty
2. Safety features and all the bells and whistles included
3. Nice nimble handling, great cornering and zippy
4. Lots of room/configurations for stuff/people
5. Economical, yet drives and looks like a much more expensive car
6. Fun to drive (even though I don't like to drive that much)
7. It's a Honda, so it's reliable and is built to last
Cons: 1. Lack of power at higher speeds
2. No locking gas cap (had to buy one)
3. Not so hot EPA gas mileage right now (hope it gets better in time)
4. Little power climbing steep inclines
5. 3/4 back visibility is not so great
No car is perfect; for more power, you give up good gas milege. For more luxury and whistles, you pay more money. However, the Fit fits us to a "T"!

Pros are many especially the "magic seat".
Cons:
No console storage compartment (I have added a Zeta)
No map light (I have added an auto dimming mirror with map lights)
