Sporty hatchbacks have been a hallmark in Honda’s storied history, and the 2008 Honda Fit is a revival of the sprightly performance and utilitarian nature that made the CRX and Civic Si so popular.

Available as the Fit or Fit Sport, both models share a punchy 1.5 liter 4-cylinder engine with 109 horsepower, mated to a standard 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters like an F1 racecar. With either transmission, expect lively acceleration and smooth shifting. With excellent fuel economy ratings, the base model returns up to 28 MPG city and 34 MPG highway.

One of the benchmarks of safety in the compact class, the Fit has standard dual front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags to protect all passengers in the event of a collision. Standard anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution stop the vehicle with confidence and poise. In addition, a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts the driver when pressure has dropped too low.

The innovative 60/40 split second-row Magic Seat® allows a multitude of cargo and seating configurations. Cargo volume is a voluminous 41.9 cubic feet with the rear seat completely folded. Interior amenities include an in-dash CD audio system with 200 watts, a 5-mode equalizer, and auxiliary input jack for your iPod® in the Fit Sport. Standard air conditioning with air filtration creates a comfortable environment, while power windows, door locks, and cruise control are standard. Cute, yet aggressive style embodies the Fit. Fog lights are standard on Fit Sport, improving nighttime visibility, while a body-colored underbody kit and rear spoiler give a radical aftermarket tuner look.

With its impressive array of standard features, a supremely flexible interior, and sporty driving dynamics, the 2008 Honda Fit raises the bar for compact cars.
