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.
Expanded interior room, powerful handling and an even more powerful engine then ever before are just a few of the new features that can be found. This in return increased the Honda Fit's length and width as compared to the previous years model.
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.
Under that tiny hood you will find 1. 5 liter engine. The previous model also came standard with this same engine size, but 2009 saw a few changes. Among the most noticeable are the improvements to the iVTEC valve timing and the small increase in fuel efficiency. It is listed with an estimated 27 MPG fuel rating.
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.
