Miller promises there will be a sporty accessory package available on all trim levels that features a sport muffler, 16-inch wheels, a sport grille and a number of other accessories. There are also coloured accent packages for the interior in Blue, Red or Silver that include steering wheel covers, shift knobs, switch panels and other interior items.
On top of that, the 2007 Fit will be supported by a wide range of Honda Genuine Accessories so that owners can personalize their cars inside and out.
The Fit Sport model with the automatic transmission option features wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and includes an underbody kit, rear roofline spoiler, fog lights, security system with keyless remote entry, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and 15-inch alloy wheels with P195/55R15 tires. The Fit Sport also offers a premium 160-watt, AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers, MP3/WMA playback capability, five-mode equalizer and an auxiliary audio jack for input from portable music players.
Honda has gone after seating versatility with the "Magic Seat," a trademarked design with a 60/40 split rear seat that allows the seatbacks to fold down or the seat bottoms to flip up, providing four distinct seating and cargo carrying configurations (refresh mode, tall object mode, long object mode and utility mode) in addition to the standard five-passenger mode.
With all the seats in the upright position, the Fit seats up to five small adults with a passenger volume of 2551 litres and a cargo volume of 603 litres.
The engine features Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) which Miller says provides "highly efficient operation at low engine speeds and extended performance at high engine speeds to boost fuel economy and power while lowering emissions."
Miller says that "refinement is further enhanced with electronic drive-by-wire throttle control for quick throttle response, smooth automatic transmission shifts (on automatic transmission models) and precise fuel delivery to the engine."
In addition, Miller notes, "Fit employs a compact, efficient and highly responsive electric power steering system that contributes to higher fuel economy since engine power is not needed to operate a hydraulic system."
For its suspension, Fit uses a front MacPherson strut and a torsion beam with trailing arm in the rear.
"Fit offers a full complement of standard airbags on all trim levels," says Miller, including dual-stage/dual-threshold front airbags, dual front side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. Standard active safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes (with rear drums) and electronic brake distribution.
