About Honda Fit
The 2013 Honda Fit, which is powered by a 117-horsepower four-cylinder engine, struggles to pass cars or travel up steep hills. Furthermore, the brakes aren’t as powerful as those found in competitors such as the Kia Rio. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, but some models also include a five-speed automatic transmission. Models with manual transmissions are more energetic than models with automatic transmissions. The Fit handles well, especially in Sport trim, and it maintains its composure during cornering maneuvers. This Honda gets 27-28 mpg in the city and 33-35 mpg on the highway, which is above average for the class.
The Fit seats five people in two rows of comfortable seats, and a high seating position in the first and second rows gives you a commanding view of the road. Both rows have plenty of head- and legroom, so adults should have no trouble fitting into the back seats. The Fit, on the other hand, has a firm ride, and competitors such as the Kia Rio have more refined interiors. Nonetheless, cargo space is abundant. The rear Magic Seat’s 60/40 split folds up or flat to accommodate your cargo needs. On the outboard rear seats, there are two sets of LATCH car-seat connectors, as well as an upper tether on the middle seat.
The Fit’s standard features are limited to a USB port, a four-speaker audio system, and cruise control. Some models include features such as navigation, Bluetooth, voice recognition, a six-speaker audio system, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
