I think as small cars go, this is pretty good looking.

Hope it comes to America.

The compact car "fitting" which HONDA you are proud. As for sale 2001. In other words when you mention first half 2007, in spite even to being model final period, as for the automobile sale quantity the record, 3 rank only nice is an expression. Already it is existence of the extent which it is possible to declare that it became the best-sellerdom of the compact car.

The fitting changes full more and more. This FMC, Japan of course thing, the inside of the world has observed. To tell the truth already immediately current fitting which becomes tip generation, in Japan 96 ten thousand 2000, in the world is sold in 115 countries or more, or more of the sum total 200 ten thousand units has arrived to world. It makes proposition that it exceeds tip generation, full model change after the large hit model is said that it is very difficult, but the person in the world must be made to agree upon, unless, when it becomes, that difficulty barrel and it is unfathomed. In addition, even in the manufacturer, HONDA, the fact that it is the model which sale quantity bears considerable number not to be wrong, the failure is not permitted in various sense. Just position of the backwater. The directivity which fitting chooses then was the universal concept of "global". The design and using selfishness (width), current fitting is exceeded securely in economical efficiency and the power efficiency all aspect! This it was developed in proposition.

The respective target like this is. First in design material feeling improvement. With using selfishness actualization of further width of space. With economical efficiency improvement of practical fuel economy. While and with power efficiency 100ps which surpasses the rival with the 1.3L engine, power making also the 120ps questioning gap raise with the 1.5L engine, you say that it improves also practical fuel economy, combining the torque converter attachment CVT of new adoption to be contrary to materialize to convert tend efficiency. In addition also the underside renovates geometry e.g., from, it pursues also the maneuverability which is made キビキビ which the compact car seems.

Furthermore because it is the entry model, doing, you must hold down either price. But raw material per 1 as for approximately 300kg the iron which assumes that you use, 2 tenths, the copper 2 tenths, reaching up to aluminum also approximately 5 tenths have risen. These days when demand of the car is called イマイチ, also gasoline cost from the point of view of when debutting of fitting about approximately 30 Yen thinking of that it has risen, in order to have purchasing the car, selling price right would like to hold down even with fault, but it is not difficult in the imagination to be difficult problem accumulation straw raincoat development.


Furthermore wide than current fitting! In order to be able to nod, new model fitting which receives the kind of impression which has become long in the mini- van wind how without. However looking at size, when you see, prototype 3,900mm×1,695mm×1,525mm well, somewhat vis-a-vis being existence 3,845mm×1,675mm×1,525mm, certainly long, although it has become, rather than imagining, properly it has been settled in the territory of the compact car. By the way, the wheel base is extended 2,450mm -> 2,500mm and 50mm, the amount which has become that long is effectively utilized in width of the interior. Width and the interior of the interior assuming that it mentions later, are the packaging which does the human central skeletal making.

Are those where the air which becomes from design man does probably just I? Surely, it is the atmosphere the HONDA car it seems, may run super dynamic leaning forward attitude surely. Originally, as for fitting in the compact car be too sweet unisex design was feature, but furthermore, the kind of air where man density increases does. The woman beginning, a little as the compact car which is chosen, カワイイッ! With, it does also the kind of air which is not the opening which can be thought, but the rival of the all kinds of flowers profusion the category reason which crowds, the attitude which goes perhaps our road it is important.

Well, the kind of air where the body has become long does, was the impression which is received even from the exterior, but when it tries boarding in, the kind of impression which furthermore is long, has become wide is received. That probably is something due to the layout of the super forward cabin.

This layout which even the advance cabin is said about 120mm surroundings of the front seat the current model compared to are put out entirely before. With this, knee clearance of the rear seat between + 40mm and front and back distance becomes wide, feels entirely spaciously. Shoulder section front + 44mm and rear 43mm, as for total height it does not change as for head clearance the rear elbowroom impression has arisen in + 10mm and the entire space in spite in addition attendant upon the increase of the full-width.



In addition flexible characteristic than the current model has increased also driving position and the guaranty of sight. The seat lifter - steering wheel angle about 3 degrees was raised with the span of adjustable range of 50mm + 25mm, as for the telescopic function which is added + 15mm, as for tilt function + 20mm and, reached the point where it can correspond to the user of various physiques. Furthermore making the A pillar 20mm thin, quarterlights it enlarges also 3 times. Increasing 1.4 degrees seeing lifting angles, about 10% it has improved range of vision ratio. In addition rear sight enlargement conversion is assured by the fact that headrest of pad type is adopted. Because of this, it is ワケ that guarantees the friendly characteristic of the compact car which throughout the city becomes the main stage. Minimum turning radius current 4.7m way is, but you take in hand and foot feeling and the impression where it can turn you raise securely.

The enjoyment which the interior design, is wide brightly, works appeal is with concept. 1.3 The smart, 1.5 RS dividing クールモアスポーティ and the character clearly, black keynote call especially 1.5 RS スポーティ of the adult, you produce. Because it is the feeling, 1.5 RS スポーティ of the adult privately truly, with being possible with 1.3 ones already a little as cute... with it does also the air which is said, but you expect here to the special specification car! Because layout, basically the using selfishness of the current car is followed, changing, use without strange feeling it may.



Of course details are brushed up, as for the drink holder 10 places, as for the glove compartment 2 step systems, the space where the tissue box enters being guaranteed in the center console, reach as ポケッテリア, the bearing surface of the rear seat the rear seat under box which can receive the service log and the like on the reverse side to leap is appeared in addition mono as newly. Furthermore ラゲッジスペース loses the spare tire and by the fact that the flat tire repair medicine is loaded, guarantees 427 liter thing space the part of that as a sub trunk of + 43 liters. Because, フレキシブルラゲッジボード is prepared in the divider of that sub trunk, to use the selfishness it may be able to devise well with use.

Seat arrangement probably is the places of interest in for the user that and we are wanted the space. Until recently, unless front seat position is shifted in the front, it could not shut the rear cockpit, but with prototype the front seat having become in last section position, it is designed in such a way that it can do diving down. By the way this rear cockpit, tip generation compared to the seat itself being to become large, riding comfort and arrangement it is ワケ that was compatible.

The bearing surface of the rear seat to leap, you said that it loads those where the back is high as for the eyeball of fitting while leaving securely, as for the place that as expected it is the pioneer it can point to further evolution.

[Matra et Alpine]

The engine i becomes the line-up, 1.3L and 1.5L - VTEC. It is the exhaust quantitatively same as tip generation, but the highest main force 86ps/5700rpm, largest torque being 12.1kg-m/2800rpm, being 110ps/5800rpm and 12.1kg-m/2800rpm with 100ps/6000rpm, 13.0kg-m/4800rpm and 1.5L, 120ps/6600rpm and 14.8kg-m/4800rpm power raises both with 1.3L. Furthermore you can say that became higher rotary type, than both past from became the specifications which HONDA seem.

This much to having become powerful practical fuel economy with 1.3L 9%, with 1.5L 5%, CVT of new development has contributed extremely to improving. Those where it is largest are to adopt the torque converter. This torque converter, while having stopped by braking, creeping is not generated. When with it becomes, when departing of the up hill it becomes worry whether it does not go down to rear, but because the slope usually generates creeping of sort securely, you depress the pedal normally and change and slip and you have become the setting which is not the times when it goes down. In other words idling stop mechanism although it does not have, is ワケ that improved the fuel economy of idling with this. The using selfishness do in sacrifice, fuel economy the place where it improves is about but the umbrella which is natural to do. Furthermore, you lose the friction with you probably can call the numerical value which it can form by the fact that detailed control is done by the fact that cooperative control of CVT of the engine.

Well in order to correspond to the powerful engine, グーン and improvement have been assured also body rigidity and the underside. First it raises body rigidity markedly, but weight of the white body is with the same. Do heavily, the device which increases rigidity having in the compact car, is dense is technique. As for suspension, as for フロントマクファーソンストラット, the rear torsion beam and type it is the same, but geometry is modified, in addition rigidity of the installation section of suspension the rear is lifted, 50% has been underside which moves better. In addition also improvement of steering feeling is assured. Electric capacity of power steering 40A -> it assured increasing in quantity to with 60A and it reached the point where you can produce steering feeling which will be been clear. Together, because also installation rigidity of the steering wheel is lifted, being able to actualize steering feeling which has the response which is done securely it is. Furthermore when with the notion that where, you inquire about just the specifications, also silent characteristic 2 - 4db became small, it is considerable workmanship.

When and it tries riding really, certainly as for the engine that it is more powerful than in the past, you say, or to the high rotary limits you have become the setting which feeling well it turns. If with high rotary type, the compact car furthermore the torque impression of the important low rotary limits became matter of concern, but completely there is no スカスカ impression and the like cooperative control with CVT having been effective without problem completely. It probably will be possible to call the feeling which is not even throughout the city completely problem of the low-speed limits. The underside it reaches the point where you can feel the stickiness the rear, also the feeling which ピョコピョコ is done is held down extremely depending upon the former road surface. Especially it becomes the feeling which will be been clear in the high-speed limits, one turns and adjusting to the car case which becomes large, it makes the feeling which would like to go out to long drive.

The fact that such a feeling is uplift, adjusting to the sky fool and the small car user which are set anew, the HDD navigation system of 7 inch picture that it was designed. Somewhere we would like to go out to the distance, - the traveling feeling which how is said is not different, is uplift more.

You probably can say that it is 1 unit which is made the kind of feeling to which fitting in this time to spring out is called the main stage of the compact car and throughout the city the one step stops wanting.



If you haven't wet yourself laughing by now, go get a funny bone

[NSXType-R]

I love this Engrish.

[ScionDriver]

I'd still take a Yaris over this.

[coolieman1220]

unless its built out of concrete, i don't wnat anything this small. if you put 5 people in and some cargo (whatever it could possibly take) then drive with the air condition on you have no power!

The four door wagon version of the Yaris is not sold here in America.

I'd still prefer the Fit.

[bmwpower]

still ugly as sin...

[NicFromLA]

still ugly as sin...

I agree. I think the current one is a neat looking little car, but this just looks like a mini-minivan. Yuck!

[The_Canuck]

adjusting to the sky fool

...lol

I don't understand how you could possibly call this car small.

The wheelbase of the current Honda Fit is larger than that of the original Honda Accord.
