Honda 2009 – Fit Test Drive Review!
![]() |
Cold coffee anyone? Well, the new Honda is proudly flaunting its new cup holders, built at the edge of the dash right. Yes, the next season’s Honda has for you lots of storage space small stuff. The over all look’s funkier, neatly contoured and creviced, sporting a unique style altogether.
The Fit’s cargo bay is its most impressive feature. The space it offers is enormous.A whopping 20.6 cubic feet! Yes, it scores over all its rivals in this regard, be it 17.8 cubes of
Nissan Versa, 10.5 of Scion xD and
7.1 of Chevy Aveo5. In fact, the Fit offers ever more cargo space than other bigger cars like the VW Rabbit (15 cu. ft.) and Pontiac Vibe (20.1).Whoa! Hail Honda, must we say! But there is still more good news. The vehicle’s fuel tank is located under the first seat, rather than under the back seat like most cars. This helps the back seats to be folded nearly flat into the floor, opening up to an enormous 57.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
The icing on the cake!
The icing on the cake is that all the versions under this brand will showcase features like power windows, mirrors and locks, air conditioning, power steering, a CD player, and a tilt-and-telescope steering column; the Sport adds alloy wheels, cruise control, iPod adapter and remote keyless entry. Besides, in keeping with Honda tradition, there are few factory-installed options such as the GPS-linked navigation system, available exclusively on the Fit Sport.
On the road!
The latest Fit is powered by a 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine. Its power ratings (117 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque) are comparable to most of its rivals. It also offers a great 5-speed manual transmission with a gentle clutch. It is so much fun that you will just feel like changing gears just for the fun of experiencing the smoothness.
So be it the cabin space, back seat room or grown-up interior decor, the new Honda Fit certainly a better deal at all costs! All you need is a pay check and the amount written on it.
