New Honda Fit in Houston, TXThinking about getting a new car? Meet the hot hatchback of 2018, the Honda Fit. It’s turning heads and crowding social media pages everywhere. The Honda Fit is a safe and comfortable car that is a pleasure to experience for driver and passengers alike. After one test drive, you’ll understand why it scores so high in many expert car reviews.

Not only are there a ton of different options to meet your unique wishes, but there are some fantastic incentives and financing available. Russell & Smith Honda invites you to come into the dealership so you can check out the 2018 Honda Fit for yourself.

The Different Models

The 2018 Honda Fit comes in four trim levels: EX, LX, Fit Sport, and EX-L. The lower trims come standard with a six-speed manual transmission and a zippy 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, but an automatic transmission is standard in the fun-to-drive EX-L. It’s also available as an upgrade in some of the other models. The Fit has five roomy seats and easily accommodates four average size adults. The back seats are surprisingly comfortable and spacious. There are a variety of options available for each model, and we’ll be pleased to explain the differences if you come into the dealership.

Superb Handling

For a subcompact hatchback, the front-wheel drive Honda Fit is a blast to drive and easily stands out from its competition because of its precision steering. The suspension absorbs those irritating bumps in the road. We particularly enjoy the standard six-speed manual transmission that provides fantastic control during acceleration.

Award Winning Safety

The 2018 Honda Fit received a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With a wide array of safety options — like a multi view rearview camera, collision warning system, automatic crash preventing braking, innovative lane departure warning, and cruise control — it’s no wonder that it’s getting rave reviews. The Fit automatically engages its LaneWatch system when you turn on your right-hand turn indicator, and it shows a camera image of your blind spot on the dash infotainment screen. What a great idea!

A Few Great Changes

The 2018 Honda Fit is more spacious and versatile than previous model years. The versatile back seat is easy to reconfigure, so you can haul a range of awkwardly-sized cargo. It’s always been a fantastic little car, but Honda kicked it up another notch. It brilliantly improved the smartphone integration for the Fit’s infotainment system. The company also managed to enhance the suspension and added more insulation, which provides a nice, quiet ride.

The brand new 2018 Honda Fit has some thrilling design changes that we think are pretty impressive. It was already popular because of its roomy interior, safety ratings, and multiple interior configurations, but now it’s better than ever. That’s why US News and World Reports ranked the 2018 Honda Fit first out of 16 subcompact cars. Come see it for yourself and go on a test drive that you won’t soon forget.
