The Honda Fit spearheaded the subcompact movement when it hit the streets in 2006. Its innovative combination of head-turning looks, athletic performance and impressive interior space shocked the world. Today, a glut of fuel-saving subcompact cars have entered the automotive market, but the 2012 Honda Fit still "remains the hands-down utility champ" over vehicles like the Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Chevrolet Sonic and Scion iQ, according to Edmunds.com. The cutting-edge Fit offers a fresh take on the affordable subcompact car model, delivering even more high-tech electronics, new styling on the Sport trim and several interior upgrades for 2012. Paradoxically, while the Fit is compact on the outside, it's surprisingly spacious on the inside. With a competitive starting MSRP, the 2012 Honda Fit offers a huge amount of value in an ultra-affordable compact size. This sporty, fun to drive small car was a Car and Driver's "10 Best Cars" list inductee for 2011, making it an all around great vehicle with excellent features and amenities.

The 2012 Honda Fit is available in Base and Sport trims. Both are offered in radiant colors like Milano Red, Blue Raspberry and Orangeburst Metallic. The Base and Sport come standard with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder i-VTEC SOHC MPFI engine that generates 117 horsepower and 106 pound-feet of torque. This multi-point fuel injected system with dynamic i-VTEC technology delivers greater power and torque at any speed. The subcompact also comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, but automatics are available with Honda's Adaptive Automatic Transmission and steering-wheel mounted shift paddles. Additionally, the 2012 Fit includes a Drive-By-Wire Throttle and Control System, independent MacPherson strut front suspension and semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension with coil springs and shock absorbers for an incredibly smooth ride.
The 2012 Honda Fit Base trim includes a wealth of features and amenities such as: an AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, a USB audio interface with an auxiliary audio input jack, MP3/WMA playback capability, air conditioning, cruise control, remote entry, Radio Data System (RDS), power windows, mirrors and door locks, Vehicle Stability Assist and floor mats. Phoenix Honda shoppers will find that one of the Fit's most interesting characteristics is its deceptively small frame. Its exterior measures only 161.6 inches, but the Fit's cargo area features a whopping 57.3 cubic feet of space, giving it the most cargo volume of any vehicle in its class! This also means that the Fit can compete with larger vehicles when it comes to interior space, while still offering drivers greater convenience and economy with its compact size.
If you think an affordable small car can't do sporty, think again. The 2012 Honda Fit Sport is a compact that can do it all - and then some! The Sport has all of the amenities of the Fit Base model but adds an underbody aero kit, rear roofline spoiler, fog lights, carpeted floor mats, alloy wheels, Bluetooth audio and phone connectivity, a security system and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. The Fit Sport is available with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition, featuring a 6.5-inch screen and more than seven million points of interest.
