This entry-level model has one of the highest fuel economy ratings available on the automobile market today. It is in its second generation and no where near the finish line. The 2009 model has seen a full makeover and people have taken notice.
In 2008, we obsessively talked about the upcoming years model, wondering what Honda would unveil for the year to come. Our patience and waiting were not took in stride and Honda delivered one of the greenest and most talked about cars it has manufactured to date. Proof is in the percentage of searched online for this specific model.
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.
Mixed emotions about restricted movements in the back seat were put to rest this year as well when extended leg room was added. Rear seating is still offering all its old tricks though, like raising the seat to form a cargo space.
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.
Anti lock brakes, airbags and head restraints are standard on the model, like most models on the market today, but one distinct option is the stability control system that can be requested with the Sport model. The navigation system comes packed with it however, another negative detail.
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.
