2007 Honda Fit Review
This 4-dr, five-passenger wagon slots below the Civic as Honda's entry-level model. Fit is 19.3 inches shorter overall than the Civic sedan, but has nearly equal passenger space and more cargo room. Base and Sport versions are offered, both with a 109-hp 4-cyl engine. Manual transmission is standard. A 5-speed automatic is optional; on Sport models it includes manual-shift steering wheel paddles. ABS, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags are standard. Exclusive to Sports are fog lamps, remote entry, cruise control, and digital-audio connection. Fit's rear seat cushions flip vertically to create space for bulky cargo behind the front seats and also fold down along with the seatbacks to make a flat load floor.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. The subcompact class is made up of the smallest hatchbacks, sedans, and wagons on the market. These are generally considered economy cars.

Our Best Buys include the Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. Our Recommended picks are the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Hyundai Accent, Honda Fit and Suzuki SX4.
News
Fit may be new to America, but it's been sold in Japan since 2001 and in Europe since '02. That implies a redesign fairly soon, perhaps by model-year 2009. We'll keep you posted.

Meantime, Honda says its 2009 lineup will include a compact gas/electric car more affordable than today's Civic Hybrid sedan. This probably won't be based on a next-generation Fit, as Honda calls the new hybrid a "dedicated" design, which we take to mean "unique." Again, we'll keep you posted.
