With the Fit, Honda hands drivers a bargain-priced tool that is neither pretty nor powerful. In place of all that is something rarer: density of thought. There's more intelligence packed into a Fit than in many cars nearly twice the size. It's the defining small car-mechanically precise, pared of excess fat, respectful of gasoline, and graced with fluid handling. It's also hugely practical and affordable. Like a genie lamp, it's small on the outside and remarkably cavernous inside. An electric version priced itself out of connection, and the gas model is by no means perfect-the 117-hp engine needs more oats. But the Fit's every component hums the song of high-quality machinery and that seduced us again.
