About the 2010 Honda Fit
2nd generation Fit (2009-2014), second model year after the 2009 redesign; no refresh.
Honda positioned the Fit as a city-friendly five-door that delivered much bigger-car usefulness than its size suggests. The core draw was simple: easy parking, strong fuel economy, clever rear-seat flexibility, and cargo space that rivaled larger cars. Honda’s own messaging leaned hard on the Fit as an urban helper with a surprisingly roomy cabin, while reviewers praised the same mix of practicality and fun-to-drive handling that set it apart from other subcompact hatchbacks.
The 2010 Fit is a small, city-friendly hatchback with a flexible rear Magic Seat and a 117-hp 1.5-liter engine. The Sport adds alloy wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, cruise control, and a six-speaker audio system, while the navigation-equipped Sport pairs built-in navigation with the lineup’s only stability-control setup.
