2009 Honda Fit

2009 Honda Fit
Not many cars have stand out over the years and lots of reviewers chose the newly designed 2009 model of Honda Fit, which is a subcompact five-door hatchback। Regardless of its small size, auto writers are quite impressed of the Honda Fit's versatile cargo area and interior room। With the use of pulling a lever to open up a 57।3 cubic feet of load space while the seats on the rear fold flat. A number of storage compartments are considerately positioned right through the cabin and it also includes ten-cup holders. The Honda Fit seats are elevated for a more comfortable seating position where you get a better view from the outside. A few liked the longer front-seat cushions and the height adjustment, though. Standard safety equipment is also included in the car with the front-seat active ABS and head restraints and also the six airbags. The electronic stability control is just an option on the Sport model of Honda Fit with the navigation system package, which automatically adds a cost to the price of the sticker in comparison to the usual Honda Fit Sport. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety names the 2009 Honda Fit one of the safest pick.

The Honda Fit 2009 model features a four-cylinder, 1।5-liter, 117-horsepower engine -- somewhat more powerful than the 2008 version। An automatic five-speed is just optional, while a manual five-speed gearbox is standard -- a benefit over the majority of small cars' automatic four-speed transmissions. While a lot of economy cars are said to be boring to drive, reviewers are quite amazed of the Honda Fit, they stated that the satisfactorily balanced car handles itself well, with receptive steering and a keen engine. It doesn't mean that it has excess power; lots of writers of cars talk about its lukewarm acceleration, particularly with the automatic transmission. Alternatively, the Honda Fit has a soft running four-cylinder, which is very competent, with ratings from EPA of 33-35 mpg in the highway and 27-28 mpg in the city. Drivers has tested this and reported a real-world mileage on goal with the estimates of the EPA. A few of the cons seen by reviewer on this model is that the ride can be tough over bumpy roads and a lot of disturbing engine and road noise can be heard inside the car.

The Fit though is not as reasonably priced as a lot of of its competitors, for example, the 2009 Nissan Versa, which is roomier or the 2009 Scion XD, which is more powerful. Amongst the group though, the Fit is considered the best one there is. It also holds its value much better than the other cars in comparison.
