First Drive: 2009 Honda Fit Sport - 8/25/2008 8:32:55 PM    cherry   Posts: 4 Joined: 8/25/2008 Status: offline Click above for high-res gallery of the 2009 Honda Fit Sport When Honda introduced the first generation Fit to the North American market in mid-2006, its timing couldn''t have been better. The entry level hatchback appeared just as fuel prices in the U.S. were heading skyward. Ever since then, the Fit has been selling as fast as Honda can bring them in from Japan. The Fit (or Jazz as its known in some markets) debuted in 2001 and the second-generation model went on sale in Japan last fall. Honda showed the new U.S.-spec Fit at the New York Auto Show last spring and we had our first opportunity to drive it on the roads north of Ann Arbor, MI last week. As is typically the case with new models, the updated Fit has grown a bit (about 4 inches in overall length), but it''s only about 44 pounds heavier than the outgoing model. Also in the usual fashion, Honda strove to increase the refinement of the Fit while not losing any of the fun-loving qualities of the original. In the process, it has had to deal with rising raw material and shipping costs while keeping the price from getting out of hand. Read on to find out if the spiritual descendants of Soichiro Honda have succeeded. Post #: 1

I know I wouldn''t be able to get myself to drive one. I thought it would never happen in America, but I guess times are changing thank god. _____________________________ NORML 2006 I4 Sedan SE Optima YellowTop 8000k HIDs Valor ITS-702W 12" Kicker CVX Kicker ZX750.1 JL Audio VR650-CSi Kenwood KAC-6202 JL Audio VR690-CXi Kicker ZX250.2 (in reply to 08coupex) Post #: 5
