Honda Fit

Engineered for a sporty driving demeanor combined with impressive room for five and unparalleled utility in a tiny package, the 2007 Honda Fit was originally intended for sale only in overseas markets, but with the larger and more powerful Civic moving upscale for 2006, Honda felt that the Fit would do just fine as its new entry model in America. Powered by a 109-horsepower, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder VTEC engine mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a first-in-class five-speed automatic transmission, the Fit is rated to deliver fuel economy of 33 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. This new entry-level vehicle comes with top-of-class feature content, including six airbags. There’s also a Sport model equipped with paddle shifters (if you order the automatic transmission) and a 160-watt six-speaker audio system. Fit owners will also have a wide variety of accessories to choose from, including the segment-exclusive Honda Apple iPod Music Link.
