2007 Honda Fit: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

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.
