“#FITwhatever” is the official social media slogan for the brand new, third-generation Honda Fit that debuted at last year’s North American International Auto Show. The hashtag is a “Fitting” one (sorry) because it describes not only the diminutive car’s flexibility in adapting to different lifestyle types, but also its cargo-carrying-friendly nature.
The hatchback is one of my favourite form factors because of its versatility. It can squeeze in five passengers somewhat comfortably, the rear seats fold down (more on this later), and it plain looks great. The headlights are now integrated with a blacked-out front grille. There are diffusers on both bumpers which, coupled with the bigger 16-inch alloy wheels (EX and EX-L), help swap a few points from the cute category over to sporty. If you stand back and squint, it kind of looks like a stocky Mystic Yellow Pearl bulldog sitting on its haunches.
