Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Opinions differ on the 2008 Honda Fit's exterior design. However, most report the Fit's quirky design warrants a second look.

  • "Overall, the lines suggest function more than fashion." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "I admit the Fit isn't exactly cute or retro the way a MINI Cooper is. The look on the outside of the Fit is more utilitarian, with a short hood and wagon-like shape aft of the windshield." -- MSN
  • "Unlike Justin Timberlake, the Honda Fit Sport actually is bringing sexy back. That it's sexy to be small, that is." -- Road and Track
  • "It looks at first glance like something that ought to have pedals and be driven on the sidewalk." -- Newsday
