The 2009 Honda Fit is redesigned, gaining size and power in the process. It remains Honda’s smallest car, despite adding 2 inches in wheelbase and 4 inches in overall length vs. the 2007-08 Fit. Base and Sport models return, both powered by a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 117 hp, an increase of 8 hp.

A 5-speed manual transmission is standard and a 5-speed automatic is optional; Sport models with automatic add steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. Sport models also get subtle aerodynamic body add-ons, upgraded trim, and 16-inch alloy wheels in place of the base model’s 15-inch steel wheels, which supplant the 14s used previously.

Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system (new for 2009), front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Newly available are a navigation system and a USB port for digital music players.
