Honda is one of those manufacturers that is notoriously affordable for most if not all drivers, which is why the Honda Fit is making such a big splash right now. Its popularity is due in no small part to its 1.5 liter SOHC engine with 117 horsepower. It takes curves with ease and will get you up to some pretty admirable speeds, but do not expect to go all Speed Racer in this car by any means.

Thus far, reviewers have a bit of a problem with the Honda Fit’s brakes, which are characterized as feeling “spongy.” However, the car’s ride and its handling are truly admirable.

In fact, drivers love the car’s air conditioning system — especially thanks to the temperatures we are seeing this summer. It is, all in all, an ideal car for urban driving and frankly, at less than twenty thousand dollars, you are going to get what you pay for with this vehicle.

I’m not sure whether or not this Honda OSM is actually a concept car — or a Roadster our friends at Honda cars are actually planning to release later on… Honda Talk seems to think it’s the latter, but I’m not convinced as Honda’s rep isn’t too good when it comes to actually releasing these concept-looking cars…

The new Civic is proof of the contrary though — I think that’s one hot looking hatchback!
