2007 Honda Fit
With the Civic moving up in size and price, Honda will fill the entry-level spot in its lineup this April with the Fit. The five-door fit will be powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine rated at 109 horsepower. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission.
Honda expects the Fit to have fuel economy ratings of about 33 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.
Standard features include power windows, door locks, air conditioning and side impact and side curtain airbags. A Sport trim level adds paddle shifters to the steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded audio system with a jack for plugging in digital music players.
Honda officials said the Fit’s base price will be between $13,000 and $14,000. Honda expects to sell 33,000 Fits this year, and about 50,000 during a full year.
