00:00 In June of 2001, the Honda Fit debuted in Japan under the name Jazz.

00:11 It immediately gained popularity from the country's industry and general public, selling

00:15 nearly 251,000 units in its first year.

00:20 The Fit is now sold in over 70 countries, and for the 2007 model year, Honda brings

00:24 it to the United States and hopes to build on its previous success overseas.

00:29 From the outside, the Fit portrays an aerodynamic simplicity, while the sport model adds some

00:34 style with an underbody kit, rear roofline spoiler, fog lights, and 15-inch aluminum

00:40 alloy wheels.

00:42 Powering the Fit is the job of the modest and efficient 1.5 liter VTEC engine, producing

00:47 109 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque.

00:52 Mated to a five-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission, this engine's glory

00:58 is in its fuel economy, with an estimated 33 miles per gallon in the city and 38 miles

01:04 per gallon on the highway.

01:06 Standard safety equipment includes anti-lock brakes, dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags,

01:12 dual front side airbags, and side curtain airbags.

01:16 At the foundation of the interior is an innovative 60/40 Magic Split seat that allows the seat

01:21 bags to dive down or the bottoms to flip up, providing numerous seating and cargo carrying

01:26 configurations.

01:28 Standard amenities include air conditioning, AM/FM CD player, power windows, power door

01:34 locks, and a sporty two-tone interior.

01:37 The sport package adds a security system with keyless entry, cruise control, and a 200-watt

01:43 audio system with six speakers and an auxiliary audio jack to connect any portable music player.

01:49 With ample standard features, the 2000 Fit provides the United States with a versatile

01:53 small car that has been tested around the world and proven itself more than worthy in

01:57 the subcompact class.
