When the Honda Fit first came out in Canada in 2006, I had just purchased a car from the Japanese automaker.
But I remember re-visiting my salesperson to discuss the Fit and a few other things related to my first steps in the world of automotive journalism. I distinctly remember the salesperson telling me that he would never try to push a Fit on anyone, saying he would always try the hugely popular Civic instead.Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an oil paintings for sale , and not a metal,
As a former Civic owner at the time, I kind of understood what he meant, but I still felt the Fit would be a good, well, fit in the Quebec market, especially since the Fit and Civic are really not in the same price brackets.
I didn't get to confirm that belief for about five years, finally testing a 2011 Fit Sport - Magic Seat and all, one of the most innovative features the Fit introduced when it came to Canada.
That seat gives the Fit a ton of flexibility when it comes to cargo space, perhaps one of the biggest selling features.
The Quebec market has always been a bit different than the rest of the country, bucking the trend for bigger,I have never solved a Rubik's hydraulic hose . less fuel-efficient vehicles for smaller, more efficient vehicles.Prior to RUBBER SHEET I leaned toward the former, That is why the Fit appears to have been so well received in La Belle Province. It's small, economical, efficient and a nicely designed five-door hatchback.
The Fit comes in four trim levels, starting with the DX at $14,480. However, that model doesn't come with air conditioning, which is a must-have for many people.
For that, you have to upgrade to the DX-A at $15,780. The next step up is the LX at $16,880 and the Sport model I tested at 18,780.
The first thing you notice when you get inside the Fit is how bright the inside of the cabin is. That is thanks to a surprisingly large amount of glass in such a small car.
The added benefit of all that glass - including a large,Detailed information on the causes of Ceramic tile, sloped windshield and mini side panels that eliminate blind spots ahead of the side mirrors - is great sightlines.
From the outside, the Fit is pretty easy on the eyes, too.Do not use cleaners with high risk merchant account , steel wool or thinners.
It's got a short front end that is somewhat dominated by large headlight assemblies and a steep slope in the hood that continues on up the windshield and gives the Fit a swept-back look when eyed from the side.
The slope comes to an abrupt end at the back, which drops pretty much straight down. But a nice spoiler on the roof and a few curves along the hatch give the rear an interesting look.
The 16-inch aluminum wheels on the Sport model enhance the look as well, a vast improvement over the 15-inch standard wheels.
The Fit's interior is comfortable and fairly spacious for a car of this size. The seats were pretty comfortable and the armrest for the driver was a welcome touch, especially with a manual gearbox.
The centre stack is a very simple design, which is just fine by me. Three knobs to control the ventilation system make that a breeze, and the radio setup is pretty straightforward.
About the only thing that felt out of place in terms of controls was the lever used to allow for fresh air intake or to recycle the cabin air.
The back seat isn't overly spacious, but it is comfortable and very useful, which we'll get into later.
