2008 Honda Fit Review, Video & Pictures
Many know Honda cars for their fuel efficiency and reliability, but what a lot don’t know is the abilities and features of the new Honda Fit that solidify the rumors surrounding this make. On the outside, the 2008 Honda Fit is sleek and sporty and a true eye catcher. There is more to its small, compact size, however, than meets the eye. Under the hood, the Fit comes equipped with a 109hp 1.5 liter engine with VTEC technology that packs a punch.
The Drive-by-Wire throttle system allows for the driver to control the power delivery and ensure that there is a smooth acceleration. These two engine features combine allow the Honda Fit remarkable fuel efficiency- up to 34 highway mgp! For those who opt for the 5 speed automatic over the manual, the Fit hooks you up with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters that give you even more control.
The interior comes with incredible audio features for music lovers, including 200 watts of power, an AM/FM/CD player, MP3/Windows Media Audio hookups, an MP3 AUX jack, and a whopping 6 speakers for ultimate sound. If you’re still concerned about the amount of cargo room in the 2008 Honda Fit, never fear. With 5 different configuration options available, you can get up to 41.9 cubic feet of extra space to fit all your stuff and up 7’10” lengthwise for those abnormally long items.
The inside of the Fit isn’t all fun and games, however. The Fit is equipped with a variety of safety features, 6 standard air bags throughout, and a 5-star crash test safety rating from the NHTSA. So, all in all, the new 2008 Honda fit really is the perfect combination of eye candy, versatility and safety.
