Just three years after its debut in the US, Honda has delivered an updated version of the Honda Fit for 2009. Some analysts believe that it’s premature to bring out a new version of the subcompact five-door hatchback, but it’s here with a slightly sportier look inside and out—so we took it on a quick test drive through the curvy canyon roads north of Los Angeles.
Honda is introducing an all-new redesigned version of its highly successful subcompact car, the Fit. The new Fit, expected in dealerships in April, will feature an expanded platform with a longer wheelbase than the current model. Despite its use of a slightly more powerful engine than its predecessor, the Fit is expected to achieve a hybrid-like 40-plus miles per gallon.
