The Fit is a four-door, front-wheel-drive subcompact hatchback with a mind-boggling amount of interior space.
Honda plops this unorthodox little body onto a rigid, lightweight chassis that provides the foundation for Fit’s engaging personality and mature ride.
e. For such a small car, it’s remarkably composed and settled at freeway speeds and is exhibits little body lean in the corners. The steering system has good on-center feel and the Fit tracks easily in its lane, without requiring constant minute steering inputs.
Interior materials quality is up to segment standards, and fit-and-finish is unimpeachable. Road noise is apparent on some surfaces at speed, but the Fit cabin is a tranquil space.
An available 7-inch upgrade adds HondaLink, with iPhone-based search, audio and social-media functions. HondaLink is quick in operation and offers pinch-and-swipe functionality, but its menu structure is awkward and there’s no volume-control knob.
A bit of packaging wizardry endows the Fit with the segment’s largest interior. It has more rear-seat legroom than the midsize Accord and a cargo hold as large as most compact crossovers’.
