Vehicle History and Generation Background
The 2009 Honda Fit Sport belongs to the second generation of this popular subcompact hatchback, produced from 2009 to 2014. Launched in 2008 as a 2009 model, this generation built on the original Fit’s success by offering a more refined design, improved interior space, and enhanced technology, while retaining its compact footprint and versatile “Magic Seat” system. Assembled in Japan and other global plants, the second-gen Fit became a top seller in the subcompact segment, praised for its practicality, fuel efficiency, and fun-to-drive nature. The 2009 model year marked the debut of this generation in North America, introducing updates like a more powerful engine and improved safety features. This specific Fit Sport, with its one-owner history and extensive service record, exemplifies the generation’s legacy of reliability, efficiency, and clever packaging, making it a sought-after choice for urban drivers and small families.
Performance, Fuel Economy, and Torque Ratings
The 2009 Honda Fit Sport 2WD is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-4 engine with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), producing 117 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 106 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters for manual control, it offers peppy performance, achieving a 0-60 mph time of around 9.5 seconds—lively for its class. Fuel economy is a highlight, rated at 27 MPG city and 33 MPG highway, with a combined 29 MPG, making it one of the most efficient subcompacts of its era. The front-wheel-drive configuration enhances its efficiency, and while the Fit isn’t designed for towing, its lightweight design (2,577 lbs) ensures nimble handling. These figures showcase its balance of efficiency and performance, ideal for city driving, highway cruising, or light commuting needs.
NHTSA Safety Ratings
Safety is a strong suit of the 2009 Honda Fit, as reflected in its National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ratings for the 2WD model:
-
Overall Vehicle Score: ★★★★★
-
Frontal Crash (Driver): ★★★★★
-
Frontal Crash (Passenger): ★★★★★
-
Side Crash (Front Occupants): ★★★★★
-
Side Crash (Rear Occupants): ★★★★☆
-
Rollover: ★★★★☆
Equipped with front, side, and side curtain airbags for all rows, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, the Fit earns top marks in frontal and side crash tests. The 5-star overall rating and 4-star rollover score are strong for a subcompact of this era. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) also rated the 2009 Fit highly, earning a “Good” score in most categories, making it a safe choice for urban drivers or small families.
Standout Features and Performance Comparison
The 2009 Honda Fit Sport 2WD offers a practical suite of features, enhanced by its Sport trim upgrades. The black cloth interior is durable and sporty, paired with the Crystal Black Pearl exterior for a sleek, sophisticated look. Standard features include air conditioning, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers, MP3/WMA playback, USB audio interface, power windows and locks, cruise control, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio controls, and the “Magic Seat” system—a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that flips and folds in multiple configurations, expanding cargo space from 20.6 to 57.3 cubic feet. Compared to competitors like the Toyota Yaris (106 hp), Ford Fiesta (120 hp, introduced later in 2011), and Nissan Versa (122 hp), the Fit’s 117 hp offers a balanced performance, matching the Fiesta in power but surpassing it in interior space and versatility, while outpacing the Yaris and Versa in handling and practicality. Its nimble handling, tight turning radius (34.4 ft), and responsive steering make it ideal for city driving, though it competes in the subcompact hatchback category, not the luxury midsize sedan segment, where vehicles like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry reside.
Features of the Fit Sport Trim Over Lower Trims
The 2009 Honda Fit Sport trim adds several enhancements over the base Fit model, elevating its style, functionality, and driving experience. The Sport trim includes 16-inch alloy wheels (vs. 15-inch steel wheels on the base), a sporty body kit with a front grille, side skirts, and rear spoiler, and fog lights for improved visibility and aesthetics. Inside, it features a leather-wrapped steering wheel, paddle shifters for manual control of the automatic transmission, and a unique black interior with silver accents, giving it a more premium feel. The Sport also adds a 160-watt audio system with six speakers (vs. four in the base), an auxiliary input jack, and a security system with keyless entry—features not standard on the base trim. These upgrades make the Sport trim more engaging to drive and visually distinctive, appealing to buyers who want a subcompact with added flair and functionality, as noted in reviews on Edmunds and Car and Driver.
TIRE DEPTH- 6/32= GOOD!
Popularity of the 1.5L VTEC Engine and 2nd Gen Fit
The 2009 Honda Fit Sport benefits from the 1.5L 4-cylinder VTEC engine (L15A7), a proven powertrain known for its durability and efficiency. A key advantage is its metal timing chain, which never needs replacement, unlike a rubber timing belt that requires servicing every 90,000–100,000 miles (a $400–$600 job). This maintenance-free timing chain, combined with the engine’s robust design, enhances long-term ownership value, as owners frequently report reaching 200,000–300,000 miles with minimal issues, as seen in forums like FitFreak.net and reviews on Kelley Blue Book. The second-gen Fit gained widespread popularity for its clever design, fuel efficiency, and reliability, with the “Magic Seat” system offering unmatched versatility in its class. The Fit’s reputation for durability is well-documented, with many owners praising its low maintenance costs and ability to handle diverse driving conditions, making it a favorite among subcompact buyers seeking a dependable, long-lasting vehicle.

Why This Fit Sport Stands Out
This 2009 Honda Fit Sport is a rare find with its single-owner history, 18 service records, and clean CA title, reflecting exceptional care. The 126,000 miles are modest for a Honda known to last well beyond 200,000 miles, and the Crystal Black Pearl finish with black cloth interior offers a sporty, low-maintenance package. The 1.5L VTEC engine with a metal timing chain ensures reliability with minimal upkeep, and the Sport trim’s upgrades—like alloy wheels, fog lights, and paddle shifters—add flair and functionality. The “Magic Seat” system provides unmatched versatility, making it perfect for urban dwellers or small families. The second-gen Fit’s popularity stems from its durability and clever design, making this well-maintained example a standout in the used subcompact market for buyers seeking a practical, long-lasting vehicle with a proven track record.
