Despite rising gas prices, Americans have steadfastly refused to surrender their automotive performance, comfort, safety and reliability, and, as a consequence, subcompacts, that traditionally lack these characteristics, have rarely been popular in the states.
But the little 2008 Honda Fit is changing all that in a big way.
Through thoughtful design and miraculous engineering, Honda has proven that you can build small and sacrifice none of the handling and roominess that car owners enjoy.
Powered by a 109 horsepower, 4 cylinder engine, the light 2,500lb Honda Fit is athletic and nimble, enough so that you will forget you are behind the wheel of a small hatchback. The VTEC-assisted engine boosts power and torque at any speed, allowing the driver to feel comfortable with the surprising amount of pep available from such a small vehicle. The drive-by-wire electronics replaces the traditional throttle cable, allowing for steadier, smoother acceleration and drivability. The result is a car that handles all the twists and turns as the leader of its class, all the while allowing you to economize on gas and purchase budgets.
Another surprise is the spacious interior, with the 4-door's flipping seats and hatchback rear offering more cargo options than some minivans. Its versatile interior seats 4 passengers quite comfortably and boasts an incredible amount of cargo space to spare.
Safety is yet another impressive category, with dual-stage standard airbags, front-side and side curtains. The frame is also designed with energy-absorbing crush zones and passenger safety cells to ensure maximum protection for all. Rounding out the protection is Honda's anti-lock braking system, yet another precaution in avoiding the worst, and shows how Honda is committed to providing safety to all seats, not just the driver.
Couple all this performance, safety and spaciousness with Honda's incredible attention to detail and quality, and we guarantee the 2008 Honda Fit will change your opinion of subcompact cars. Visit us for a test drive today!
