The 2018 Honda Fit Sport.

When you want to offer a "sport" version of a car, but can't offer a more powerful engine, it's time for paint, trim pieces, black wheels and a six-speed manual.

That, in a nutshell, is the formula for the 2018 Honda Fit Sport.

2018 Honda Fit Sport.

As we've noted before, the Honda Fit is a tremendous value proposition.  Base price for the base LX model is $16,190 and while styling is a matter of some debate among potential buyers, there's no denying the tremendous space utilization inside this rather small car.

The Fit Sport is the second step up the price ladder, with a base price of $17,500.   You get the multi-angle rear camera and 6-speed manual transmission that comes in the LX (a Continuously Variable automatic is available at extra cost in both), but front, side and underbody spoilers, 16-inch black alloy wheels and a 7-inch touchscreeen audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto get folded into the mix.

Take it just as it comes and the bottom line (with $890 destination and handling) is a shockingly low $18,390.  The EPA fuel economy estimate of 36 highway/29 city remains the same as the other Fit models.  And this little car is an absolute ball to drive.  The Fit Sport appearance items may help or hurt the already unorthodox styling, depending on your point of view, but it's hard to knock this blend of low purchase price,  high gas mileage, large carrying capacity and pure driving fun.

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,––The market is changing, and we're glad to say Honda has been keeping graceful stride with the change! SUVs have become the high stakes player in the sales game, while car sales have respectively taken a dive. This change has lead to reports of very steep decreases in car sales and overall sales with other manufacturers. In instance, Ford reported a decrease of 21/2% in car sales.

Despite the slight overall decrease, American Honda's truck division increased in sales by 9.2% year-over-year, leading to a 1.2% increase year-over-year. Let's take a look at the Honda April Sales Report in more detail!

Honda thankfully still saw strong demand for their cars in April, unlike many other manufacturers, despite the drop in year-over-year numbers. The one Honda car that posted an increase? The Honda Fit, which increased by 0.8% with a total of 4,871 units.

Honda also saw strong demand for their trucks. The CR-V posted a year-over-year increase of 26.6% and a month-to-month increase of 13%, which might be thanks to the redesigned 2017 model. The Ridgeline also helped the segment increase overall by posting sales of 3,186 units. Not to mention the HR-V, which posted a month-to-month increase of 22.4%, the Odyssey and Pilot which helped the truck division reach overall sales of 61,114 units!
