2009 Honda Fit
Sneak Peek
The 2009 Honda Fit is redesigned, gaining more size and more power. This is Honda's smallest car. The 2009 model is 2-inches longer in wheelbase and 2.2-inches longer overall than the 2007-08 Fit. It is powered by a 118-hp 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, an increase of 9 hp. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and a 5-speed automatic with steering-wheel mounted shift paddles is optional. The 2009 Honda Fit will reprise base and Sport trim levels. The Sport will have 16-inch wheels (base models get 15-inch wheels), subtle aerodynamic body add-ons, and upgraded trim. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Other available features include a USB port for digital music players, seats that can be arranged into four different configurations, and a navigation system. We have not yet tested a 2009 Honda Fit.

Please check back for more information and Consumer Guide's full review.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
