Right before the Fit arrived for a visit, I had been driving a Range Rover. When my co-worker looked out to the parking lot to see the little Honda sitting where a large luxury liner had once rested, belly laughs rolled out down the hall and through my door. Amusing, I’m sure. But, you know, the joke may be on my friend. The Honda is a cool little car.
The Fit has always been a weird little car that is just normal enough to be lovable. The dramatic slope nose and soft curves of the last model were replaced by an edgier and more dynamic design. A grille insert, slimmer headlamps, chiseled bodysides, sportier grille, fog lamps, 16-inch alloys, and color-matched spoiler give the car a more planted stance and angrier attitude. I think the rear with horizontal chrome and lamp pods is especially fetching.
Interiors are spacious with an additional 4.8 inch of rear legroom over the second generation. And, they’re more luxurious with stitched vinyl on the dash, available heated leather seats, silver doorhandles, and sweet-smelling leather (cloth standard). Fit’s rear flip-up “Magic Seat” remains to cross-load bicycles, flower pots, or a haul from the outlet mall. Bluetooth, USB inputs, and auto headlamps come standard. Check additional boxes for a one-touch power moonroof, keyless entry/starting, premium audio, and touchscreen. Get navigation too!
