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.
Listed as an entry level model, the Honda Fit is getting rave reviews for its excellent fuel economy. Now in it's second generation, Honda has given one of their most popular models a face lift so it seems.
Search engine hits for the 2009 Honda fit were through the roof in 2008 as car enthusiasts were excited to see what the new model would offer. Those who patiently waited have not been disappointed either.
Interior expansion, power handling and a sweet little engine are only a few of this impressive models features. Honda even increased the body length and width for overall better look and handling.
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.
Just as the 2008 model had, the 2009 still comes with a 1. 5 liter 4 cylinder engine. The difference in 2009 was the improvement to the iVTEC valve timing system in order to slightly increase the vehicles fuel efficiency. Though not a big increase, the effort has been duly noted. After all, 27 miles per gallon isn't that bad!
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.
Overall, this new model Honda Fit has rated very well. Evaluations and test drives of the vehicle have been extremely positive with very little disappointment. Some are looking for increased horsepower in up coming models but seem to be content with what Honda is offering at the moment. If your in the market for a fuel efficient small car then the Honda Fit is worth some looking in to.
