The 2007 Honda Fit stands strong in its class, particularly when measured in terms of performance and handling as well as interior packaging and versatility. It's quick, smooth and enjoyable to drive. And it's extremely practical, with back seats that flip fore and aft, allowing it to carry long items, tall items and just lots of stuff. The Honda Fit distinguishes itself with agile handling, zippy performance, and impressive practicality. A four-door hatchback, the Fit is amazingly comfortable, given its dimensions, even in the back seats. It's a particularly pleasant car for running errands. It's easy to get in and out. It's easy to park. It does indeed fit, just about anywhere.

Powering the 2007 Honda Fit

All 2007 models are four-door hatchbacks powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive and a choice of five-speed manual or five-speed automatic. Perfect for the big city, at home in the suburbs, the Honda Fit offers a smooth ride on bumpy streets and easy maneuverability. The five-speed manual is smooth and easy to shift, while the five-speed automatic has paddle shifters. The 1.5-liter engine features Honda's VTEC techonology, giving it a free-revving 109 horsepower. The easygoing nature of the Honda Fit is even more apparen underway. The engine is smooth and responsive, shifting is easy and it rides nicely. Handling is excellent, the best in the class. This is a highly maneuverable car, able to zip around traffic. The steering is precise and accurate, allowing the driver to steer the car exactly as intended. 

'07 Fit Design

Unique among subcompacts, the Fit mounts its fuel tank in the center of the car, under the front seats. This allows the floor for the back-seat passengers to be lower, thus increasing space behind the front seats. The interesting headlight bezels match the exterior color of the vehicle. Standard on all models, this body-colored headlight bezel gives the Fit a sporty appearance. The front doors open wide, to nearly an 80-degree angle, making it easy to get in and out of the car. The doors have three distinct detents to hold the door open at various degrees. The unit-body structure is highly rigid, which is helpful for developing crisp handling response and a smooth ride quality. Stuctural rigidity is also useful for protecting the people inside and Honda expects top ratings from the government and insurance industry. Honda achieved strength while keeping weight down by using high-strength steel.

Inside the 2007 Honda Fit

The 2007 Honda Fit offers five-passenger seating and comes with a sporty, two-tone fabric interior. The rear seatbacks can be flipped down to create a big, flat cargo hold. Most of the other cars in this class don't offer such a big, flat floor, and that's crucially important when trying to transport a big box. Alternatively, the seat bottoms can be flipped up,creating a nice cargo hold behind the front seats, handy for groceries and errand running or for tall items. The back seats are impressively roomy, given the size of the car, and surprisingly comfortable. We put three adults back there for a short drive to lunch and all three were quite content. There's lots of headroom front and rear.  Even more impressive are the cargo-carrying options. With the seats in place and ready to take on five people, the Fit offers 21.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Visibility from the driver's seat is good, with good mirrors and a panoramic windshield. The Fit has a comfortable steering wheel. All of the switchgear works well. The center dash is logical.
