The Honda Fit was a vehicle that hit the global roads in a slow regulated manner. The Fit made its debut in Japan in 2001, and was released in Europe and Australia in 2002, South America and Asia in 2003, China in 2004 and Mexico in 2005. The vehicle made its debut in America in 2006 at the North America International Auto Show. The vehicle comes in five versions, with each version having a distinct number of its own to identify itself. Some of these versions are available only in particular geographical areas. The car derives its power from 1.2 liter, 1.3 liter and 1.4 liter DSI engines or a 1.5 liter VTEC engine. The engine available in each vehicle depends upon which country it is acquired in. The same rule applies to the gear configuration, which is available in three styles, a four speed manual system, an automatic system or a continuous variable gear system, which is not available in the United States. The vehicle is built on the Honda Small Car body chassis. One distinct characteristic of the Fit is the location of its gas tank, which is located under the front seat. This placement of the fuel seat allows for lots of space in the back. The Fit can seat five passengers.

Though the Honda Fit is a small car, there is plenty of space to store luggage. The car provides its passengers with many types of sitting positions. One allows for taller passengers, another is for people who want to rest while sitting in the car. The back seats can be folded forwards without having to remove their headrests, the back seat bottoms can be folded to store larger items and the front seats can be stretched out so that passengers can rest easily in the vehicle.
