Not only does this cars interior specifications look good on paper, but the Fit debuting in the U.S. market as a 2007 model year subcompact car leaves a most favorable impression with actual passengers, including the big and tall. The Fit fits just about every sized-adult comfortably with more than 40 inches of front seat headroom/38-plus inches of rear headroom, and more than 41 inches of front seat legroom/33-plus inches of rear legroom. Fits Magic Seat describes the 60/40-split rear seat that allows seatbacks to fold down or the seat bottoms to flip up for unique seating/cargo configurations. Another way to underscore the Fits interior: the subcompacts 90.1 cubic feet of passenger volume is just a tad less than the Honda Accord EX sedans 91.1 cubic feet.
Powering the Fit is a 1.5-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder that produces 109 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 105 pounds-feet torque at 4800 rpm. A fast throttle response occurs thanks to the Fits electronic drive-by-wire throttle control. The Fit uses an electric power steering system. And when fitted with the five-speed automatic transmission, the Fit is the only subcompact to offer steering wheel-mounted gear shifter paddles. The five-door hatchback Fit Sport package includes a rear spoiler, fog lights, cruise control, and AM/FM/CD audio system with 6 speakers and MP3/WMA playback capability. Fit is fun to drive. And traveling great distances isnt a huge financial pinch with per gallon fuel estimates of 33 city and 38 highway. MSRP of Honda Fit Sport with 5-speed manual transmission is $15,170.
