2007 Honda Fit Review
All-new subcompact is fun, inexpensive and practical.
2007 Fit Review Summary & Specifications
The Honda Fit is probably the best car 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. It gets an EPA-rated 38 mpg on the highway. It's cute. 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.NewCarTestDrive.com editor Mitch McCullough performed test drives of manual and automatic Honda Fits in Pasadena and Redondo Beach, California.
