Honda broke into the American market during the 1973 oil crisis with the Civic—an efficient, reliable, no-frills subcompact. And in 2007, when it became obvious that high gas prices were here to stay, Honda released a new model with similar qualities: the Fit.
The little car was fun to drive and treated economy-minded owners to a surprising amount of space and versatility. A second generation debuted for 2009. Both base and Sport models produce 117 horsepower, more than twice as much as that first Civic.
Overview
History of the Honda Fit
2009 - 2013 Honda Fit
Major changes included: The second generation Honda Fit comes back in 2009 bigger and better in every way, while getting even better fuel economy than it's predecessor.
2007 - 2008 Honda Fit
Major changes included: The first generation Honda Fit marked the return of hatchback practicality to Honda's model lineup. Powered by a 109-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, this subcompact has been described as surprisingly fun to drive. A 5-speed manual transmission comes standard, but a 5-speed automatic is also offered. Base and Sport were the only two trim levels for the fit, with the Sport model adding alloy wheels and more aggressive body styling. Standard equipment included power windows, anti-lock brakes and side curtain airbags. For the 2008 model year, a tire pressure monitoring system was added to the Fit's list of standard features.
