2009 Honda Fit Small Car Overview
In 2001 Honda introduced its Honda Fit. Sometimes called the Honda Jazz in certain parts of the world, it is primarily recognized as the Fit model in Japan, China and the United States. A Global Small Car Platform based vehicle, the 2009 Honda Fit is a subcompact with much to offer.
Honda's entry-level model is listed with an eye catching 27 miles per gallon highway rating. Impressive! Only in it's second generation, the Fit is pushing to the front of the pack and now faster then ever with it's all new look and feel. We sense other models are fast becoming jealous.
In 2008, the Fit seemed to be generating buzz everywhere online. Car enthusiasts and subcompact shoppers alike were eager for the unveiling of this much anticipated model. Well, we waited and we were given everything we had hoped for.
The interior has been expanded for comfort and the engine was given new life by adding on just a little more power. Also new for 2009 was a longer and wider body, but no one is complaining.
Those that once felt cramped in the back seat can now enjoy added leg room to relax. The same trick features can still be found however, like the ability to move the rear seating to that of a cargo type area.
The sweet little engine that we talked about prior is the 1. 5 liter 4 cylinder you will find sitting under the hood. Though its the same size as last years model, some changes were made for the better. A revamp of the iVTEC valve system was done to increase fuel economy. Regretfully, no added horsepower was seen.
You every day run of the mill safety features were not left out, included are anti lock brakes, front and side curtain airbags and head restraints. New this year is the stability control system that can be added to the Fit Sport Model. The downfall to this was that it only comes packaged with the optional navigation system, one of the only complaints this car has seen in review.
In closing, the 2009 Honda Fit appears to be an all in one package. Hopes of some added horsepower were disappointed this year but the future of the model is still looking bright. Those shopping for a smaller car with better gas mileage should do some research on this one, it is sure to be a perfect fit for almost any driver. At least go take a test drive to see just how sharp the handling is for yourself. - 21396
