Smart solution
We know that large urban centers are becoming increasingly saturated and that concern for space and intelligent solutions are gaining priority. new Honda Fit 2018.
But after all, what makes it so special? Why is it one of the best sellers in its segment? Honda lent us its top-of-the-line model to answer all these questions.

First impressions of the Honda Fit 2018
The design of the new lanterns and headlights stand out and draw attention to the 2018 model, compared to the previous version, in addition to the set of lights, only a small change in the rear bumper and front grille. The lines on the bodywork give the idea of movement. Overall, the Fit looks good and offers the Honda quality that already gives us confidence and makes a good first impression.
The Honda Fit 2018 in everyday life
The invitation came at a time when we were preparing for our adventure in Europe and, as we had already sold our car, which by the way was its bigger brother, the Honda City, it turned out to be very useful at that moment, especially for its internal space and intelligence, but wait, you'll understand what it's capable of.
I already knew what to expect, our car was a Honda City which shares the same platform, but the new interior caught the eye with the new multimedia center that connects to the system Apple Car Play. In addition, the Fit has certain differences from the City. Look how cool that direct air vent is for the cup holder, so the drink always stays cold, isn't that clever?
In my opinion, there was one thing missing, especially in a top-of-the-line model: the start/stop button. Silly me...
To compensate, it's perfect for day-to-day use and parking. We didn't have any problems finding parking spaces and it fit into spaces that even the parking attendant couldn't believe.
The interior space is unbelievable, we dismantled Emmanuel's room and he fit inside the new Honda Fit 2018!
The Fit is ideal for small families like ours, as the versatile interior is ideal for all types of use. The ISOFIX system guarantees the safety of the little one and the practicality of installing and uninstalling the car seat at any time helps a lot.
Consumption in the city was close to 8 km/l, but as we've already been refueled, we can't tell you the type of fuel used.
We were able to understand and get all the answers, the car really is a good option for urban life.
On the road
We didn't have a trip booked, but we couldn't resist hitting the road for a pleasant afternoon in Petrópolis:

It's enjoyable to drive and performed well uphill, except for a few overtaking sessions when it was necessary to use the gearshift in manual mode, in which case the flaps behind the steering wheel came in handy.
The car was full, we invited a couple of friends and went up the mountain with five occupants. However, because of Emmanuel's car seat, space in the back was a little limited. Consumption was around 10 km/l, but as we took the car already fueled, I can't tell you if it was filled with alcohol or gasoline.
The electronic stability control does the job and the car is stable even in tight bends.
The car delivers a good experience on the road, but I still consider it ideal for urban life, especially in this case, with the car full in some situations it was short of breath and there were no suitcases in the trunk, just a baby carriage and our equipment.
A modern family-sized car
The new Honda Fit 2018 is ideal for small families and with up to one child it fits well both on the road and especially in large urban centers. The intelligent seating system makes the difference and makes it a versatile car ready for any situation.
