  Honda Fit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honda Fit is a five-door hatchback automobile produced by Honda of Japan, first introduced in June 2001.
The Fit utilizes Honda's Global Small Car platform, which is also used by the Fit Aria/City (a sedan version of the Fit), the Airwave (a wagon version of the Fit Aria/City), the Mobilio, and the Mobilio Spike.
Honda originally intended to name the car Fitta, but did not take a liking to word's meaning in some languages ("fitta" is Swedish and Norwegian for "cunt"), resulting in a last-minute change.

 The Truly Amazing Honda Fit/Jazz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In any case, Honda has always felt that all out speed or handling are not the only measure of 'performance', and things like fuel economy, low emissions and human safety are all equally important as well.
Then Honda also does not see the experience of driving their cars as just limited to the driver but the passengers are equally as important too.
Honda calls the styling of the interior cabin a 'dynamic layered style', and adopted the broad motif of a bold parabola (compare the photo of the dash to its concept drawing) for the main dashboard which is designed to project a sense of integration and sportiness.

 Honda Worldwide | January 8, 2006 "2007 Honda Fit Looks Small on the Outside, Delivers Big on the Inside"
Already one of Honda's hottest selling models in Asia and Europe, the Fit is designed to enter the U.S. market as leader in the subcompact segment with top-of-class feature content, refinement, interior functionality, sporty driving demeanor and high levels of standard safety equipment.
At the foundation is the Fit's Magic Seat(TM), an innovative 60/40 split rear seat that allows the seatbacks to fold down or the seat bottoms to flip up, providing four distinct seating and cargo carrying configurations (refresh mode, tall object mode, long object mode and utility mode) in addition to the standard five passenger mode.
Fit employs a compact, efficient and highly responsive Electric Power Steering (EPS) system that also contributes to higher fuel economy since engine power is not needed to operate a hydraulic system.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2007 Honda Fit Sport
The Fit's combination of a tall hatchback bodystyle (five-feet high) and a low cargo floor - made possible by a compact rear torsion beam suspension and a fuel tank moved forward under the front seats instead of under the cargo floor - creates a surprisingly roomy cargo area and cabin.
The Fit's passenger volume of 2550 litres compares to the Toyota Yaris hatchback's 2382 litres, and behind the rear seats, the Fit's cargo area of 600 litres is more than double that of the Yaris hatchback.
Honda Fit highlights are a roomy interior and cargo area and a fuel-efficient and quiet engine.

The 2007 Honda Fit’s gas mileage is estimated at about 38 miles per gallon on the highway and 33 miles per gallon in the city.
Honda's attention to safety is well-placed; Americans tie their egos — as well as their feelings of safety — to the sheer size of the vehicle.
Honda engineers seem to have carefully considered all the trade-offs necessary in a small car and designed their best all-around vehicle, making the 2006 Honda Fit one of the strongest contenders in an increasingly crowded contest.

 This Honda's especially Fit for an era of high gas prices - The Boston Globe
The Fit has been sold overseas in a slightly smaller version for five years -- in Asia under the same name and in Europe as the Jazz.
The Fit comes with an antilock-braking system, front dual-stage air bags, front side-impact air bags, and front and rear side-curtain air bags.
Much of the versatility is possible not only because of the hatchback's high rear roofline, but also because the fuel tank has been moved beneath the front seats, leaving that expansive flat rear floor.

 ConsumerReports.org - First Look: 2007 Honda Fit 5/06
Honda launched the four-door Fit hatchback this spring amid skyrocketing gasoline prices, reminiscent of the original Civic's well-timed introduction in the early 1970s.
Honda isn't alone in reading the economic forecast; the Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris are two other small "world" cars being introduced in the U.S. in 2006.
We bought two Fits for an upcoming comparison test: a base model with an automatic transmission for $15,200 and a Sport model with a manual transmission for $15,720.

 Hybrid Cars - Honda Fit Hybrid
The Fit is one of Honda’s hottest selling models in Asia and Europe, where it is sold as the Jazz.
As a subcompact, the Fit is cute and small—but has over 90 cubic feet of passenger volume (only slightly less than the midsize Accord) and 21.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity, nearly as much room as a Honda Element.
In that light, the Honda Fit hybrid could be viewed as a more practical four-door version of the Honda Insight.

Fit is 19.3 inches shorter overall than the Civic sedan, but has nearly equal passenger space and more cargo room.
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.
Fit may be new to America, but it's been sold in Japan since 2001 and in Europe since '02.

 2007 Honda Fit - The Car Connection
Honda's pitching the Fit at young twentysomethings - the same group that probably doesn't remember the first tall-wagon Civic, and now thinks that they, along with tall Tercel wagons and Mitsubishi LRVs, are cool retro rides for those who wear headbands in non-ironic ways.
The Fit's optional automatic is the segment's only one with five speeds, which allows a wider range for a lower first gear and higher top gear than is typical.
Fit Sport adds the paddle shifters on automatics, a rear spoiler and underbody kit, cruise control, fog lamps, 15-inch alloys, and a 200-watt system with six speakers, MP3 capability, and mini-jack input.

The Fit Spec-D, or Dynamite, is a testament to Mugen's adherence to the principles of Gestalt, cramming a supercharger into the engine bay shared by the Fit's 1.5-liter minimill to produce 145 hp -- the equivalent of a googleplex in such a miniscule ride.

The use of high-tensile strength steel on 36% of Fit's unibody allows the frame to be relatively lightweight while still providing a high level of structural rigidity for performance and safety.
The Fit offers a level of standard safety technology unique to this class of vehicle and is expected to receive a 5-star frontal crash safety rating from the government's National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) and "Good" ratings in offset frontal and side impact tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
In total, the Honda brand is made of 12 distinct vehicles ranging from the subcompact Fit to the half-ton Ridgeline pickup.

The general mood of media mayhem relaxed a little, the pushing and shoving for the perfect camera angle and jostling amid lineups to take a turn inside seeming to take on a more jovial air, with journalists openly sharing their enthusiasm for what many considered to be the "big news" of the day.
Aptly, fit and finish is superb, and the car's plastics quality, on the dash, console, armrest, door sills, and pretty well everywhere else, is similar to that inside the larger, more expensive Civic - that car one of the best in the more upscale compact class.
Ingeniously, Honda located the fuel tank in a central location towards the middle of the vehicle, rather than in back where it causes the floor space to be raised.

The Fit is Honda's answer to the Nissan Versa and the Toyota Yaris, which are also brand-new this year: it's small and cheap, with a base price pegged at between $13,000 and $14,000.
The Fit Sport is distinguished by a body kit, including a rear roofline spoiler, fifteen-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a six-speaker, more powerful CD stereo with equalizer and iPod connectivity.
The Fit might be small on the outside-it's only 157.4 inches long-but it makes the most of its 90.1 cubic feet of interior space.

However, he says Honda is not upping the Fit’s U.S. sales target, which it dropped earlier this year from an initial goal of 50,000-60,000 units due to lack of capacity and a desire to better understand who the early buyers are.
Speculation is Honda could produce the Fit at a new plant it plans to build somewhere in the U.S. Midwest.
