"Why not start out by purchasing the Honda FIT RS '10?" This little daily commuter has a special place for those who grew up with Gran Turismo 6, regardless of if they were fond of it being a mandatory purchase or not.
Engine: 1500cc L15A
Power: 119 PS (117 BHP)
Weight: 1050 kg/2315 lbs
Honda's best selling Jazz model (available as the FIT in the US/Asia) evolved into it's second generation model in the autumn of 2007. While maintaining the concept of a compact hatchback with a roomy interior and luggage space, the front end was lowered and the base of the A pillars were moved forward to give a bolder design that emphasized its size presence.
It won both the Good Design Award and the Japan Car of the Year and, like its predecessor, it was the best selling car for 11 months starting in November 2007.
The engine was available in a 1.3L and 1.5L, and although this powerplant was carried over from the previous generation, they have both been improved with the inclusion of i-VTEC. The sporty model RS houses the 1.5 L engine, which produces 9 BHP and 0.18 kgfm more than the previous model at 118 BHP and 14.8 kgfm torque, combined with a SMT or CVT that enables sharp performance.
The RS moniker is given to high-performance grade of Civic, and from minor revisions in 2010, the Jazz RS has become even more attractive and sporty. The special aero parts have been changed to a dynamic design that clearly differentiates it from the standard model. A performance rod connecting the right and left sides of the frames has been added, as well as special shock-absorbers and springs, different settings for the stabilisers and a 6-speed manual transmission.
