| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Enough head room for a tall person in front seats. On the Civic, my head was bumping against the visor. However on the FIT the seat height is *not* adjustable, on the Civic it is. see full Honda Fit review |

| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The seats are reasonably comfortable but there is insufficient lumbar support. If you are middle-aged or older and have lower back trouble you may be uncomfortable on drives over 1-2 hours. There is no height adjustment for the drivers seat. see full Honda Fit review |

shifting and clutch response far superior than yaris, slightly better than Xd.Much more pep than yaris,and better handling than yaris or Xd. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The engine is very rev-happy and is up quite a bit to over 120hp as opposed to the pathetic 104hp of the previous model. V-Tec engages very positively and offers a noticeable improvement in acceleration. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The engine is smooth and peppy. The transmission is pretty well sorted, save for some unusual 1st gear start jerkiness (light throttle helps). The paddle shifters are a fun novelty. see full Honda Fit review |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
For 109hp gets going from a stop very quickly. Power continues to feel stronger till 500rpm before redline. Even if car has 5 people higher revs DO deliver enough push. Gearing favours performance/city driving and minimises downshifts on highways. see full Honda Fit review |

Very underpowered with any added weight beyond driver + passenger. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 117-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The 117bhp version is extremely under-powered. It's hard to maintain highway speeds at reasonable rpm's with 3 people of average weight in the car. The acceleration feels sluggish and throttle feels unresponsive at times. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Had to really punch it to get on the highway. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
130 HP would probably be just right, not much torque, even with that it does go pretty good. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Could use more power. Could also use a 6th gear. Engine gets thrashy when revved. 5sp shifter is excellent, knotchy and precise. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I wish my fit had a 6th gear. It revs in the 3000rpm range on the highway, and I wish it didn't. A taller final drive with a 6mt would be nice. Mostly it's a city runabout and perfect for that. see full Honda Fit review |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I drove an automatic. The acceleration to 50 mph felt sluggish almost all the way, yet shifts were happening around 4500 RPM. Throttle response when cruising was very sluggish. I grew up driving air-cooled Volkswagens, at least they respond (if gently). see full Honda Fit review |
