My wife and I started using Craigslist a few months ago to start ridding ourselves of some clutter. One of the items we sold was a vanity, a rather large piece of furniture. I asked the buyer if she had a car big enough to transport the vanity and she assured me she did.
Imagine my surprise the next day when she showed up driving Honda's smallest car, the oddly named Fit. I looked at the woman and said, "Are you sure it's going to fit in there? It's pretty big?" She assured me it would. She folded the back seats down, folded her passenger seat down, and the little car swallowed the furniture whole.
"Pretty cool," I said.
"I love my little car," she told me.
As my 2000 Nissan Craptima begins to make different scary sounds every day, I have been investigating the latest in compact models to determine what my next purchase will be. In my search process, I've driven a Nissan Versa (huge for a compact car, with a nice interior and a snooze to drive) and a Ford Focus (ugly on the outside, nicer on the inside, but distinguished only by the cool Sync system), and just today, the completely redesigned 2009 Honda FIt. The Honda Fit is clearly the winner, hands down.
Exterior
The Honda Fit has been redesigned for 2009 to make it a larger and accommodate some issues consumers had with the previous generation. I'm not as fond of the exterior styling this year as I was for the previous model. Gone is the cool mini hatchback look, replaced with something that looks more like an anorexic minivan. But the more time I spent with the car, the more I found the styling of the Honda Fit appealing. The paint looks clean, the spoiler on the higher end Sport Fit is attractive, and Honda wisely replaced the flip open fuel door with a remote release one. Colors available are Milano Red, Taffeta White, Blackberry Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Tidewater Blue Metallic, Storm Silver Metallic, Orange Revolution Metallic.

Among the changes to the 2009 Honda Fit are: telescopic and tilt steering, a "dead" pedal for comfort, additional rear leg room, improved magic seats that fold flat in one step, and a driver's side armrest.
Comments
I went to my Honda dealer to have a Fit and left with a Civic.
