Is the Fit's Power Really That Impressive?
2 Answers
First of all, Honda's i-VTEC Earth Dreams engine delivers outstanding performance in its class. Combined with the Fit's lightweight body, the power-to-weight ratio is exceptionally high. With 131 horsepower pulling a 1-ton compact car, it's more than sufficient. Therefore, its power performance is very impressive. Below is some relevant information about the Fit: 1. Model Introduction: The Fit is a hatchback launched by GAC Honda. The third-generation Fit was released on May 29, 2014, positioned as a stylish hatchback for the third generation, targeting the new generation of 90s who pursue individuality, with a spacious interior. 2. Fit Design Philosophy: The third-generation Fit adopts the Exciting H Design as its overall design concept, featuring Honda's latest family-style front face design concept, Solid Wing, where the front grille and headlights are integrated, highlighting sharpness and sportiness.
As a car enthusiast who frequently drives a Fit, I must say the 1.5L Earth Dreams engine is quite agile in city driving, delivering around 131 horsepower with a 0-100 km/h acceleration under 10 seconds. The car feels light and responsive off the line. Weighing just about 1 ton and paired with a CVT transmission, it's super sensitive at traffic lights—not as explosive as high-powered cars, but handling is top-notch during turns or in traffic jams. There's great potential for modifications; I've seen friends turbocharge it to over 150 horsepower—now that's fierce! Daily fuel consumption is low, around 5-6L/100km. It's sufficient for long trips, though wind noise can be noticeable. Overall, the Fit stands out in its class—not a beast, but definitely an efficient and spirited choice, perfect for tinkerers or practical drivers.
