The all-new 2015 Honda Fit
This model year was refreshed from the ground up.
Starting at $14,495
This one $22, 968 (fully loaded, top trim: EX-L Navi)
It’s a 1.5 L 4-cylinder engine, outputting 130 hp and 114 lb.fts.
When you read reviews, the Fit is often called “fun to drive”, because it is. Easy to toss around, small turning radius, does a good job keeping up on the highway, shines in a busy downtown, and get it in manual, it will help with the pep.
My tester was the top trim, EX-L Navi, but really, this car excels in the lower 2 trims, DX & LX.
Adding leather seats, automatic climate control and a moonroof is nice, but sends the price up too high and defeats the purpose of this vehicle, which is good value-for-money.
The refreshed exterior is its same, good-looking self…
… while the interior sees the most change.
Lots of new tech.
1 – a colour, 7″ screen, and the climate control panel is now all touch
2 – when you drive more fuel efficiently, those blue lights change to green
3 – power plugs and USB ports everywhere
And despite the double glovebox being deleted, there’s still plenty of storage, especially for a small car.
Notice it?
That’s not a backup camera, that’s the side-mirror camera. It’s Honda LaneWatch, a blind spot display.
When you signal to turn right, the camera mounted beneath the passenger mirror comes on, and is displayed on the dash screen. I found it a bit distracting at night.
What remained the same through the refresh, and this is good, is that the backseat is still massive.
The rear seat is actually a bench, and see how flat it folds? Massive cargo will slide right in, a rarity in a small car. The proper name is Honda’s “60/40 2nd-Row Magic Seat”, okay that’s funny.
See, I’m seated with my legs crossed, and there’s still ample room.
