First Drive: 2009 Honda Fit - Inside the Fit's cabin, it's apparent that quality levels are up, with improved plastics, more supportive seats and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Meanwhile, a new dashboard layout looks softer, reflecting a special effort by stylists to appeal to women. (more)
2009 Honda Fit Sport Full Test - Bottom Line: If only every sequel were so good. It's as if Honda used our long-term test blog about the 2007 Fit as a road map for the 2009 model's improvements. (more)

According to this article: click here. It mentioned 09 milage and price. I wonder if it's a typo because they seem the same as current Fit (if base price includes destination charge). I have the feeling that even with increase production numbers, there will still be a shortage here. They need to produce the Fits here in the North America, like the Civic, which has no trouble at all meeting demands. |

Replying to: futurefit (Jun 23, 2008 12:14 pm) I also see that they report that the Hybrid Fit will not be rolled out until 2015.  I was pining for one of those in 2009. Looks like I'll have to get the "dedicated" hybrid model if I want a hatchback hybrid from Honda before 2015. (I'm assuming the dedicated hybrid will be a hatchback or wagon because it is set to compete directly with the Prius.) |

What's the deal with no spare tire in the '09?

"Production allotment now stands at 60,000 units but will increase to 80,000 when the redesigned Fit arrives Oct. 1, says John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda." http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080623/FREE/14228425/1023/L- ATESTNEWS
