Nothing really great about it. Basically all it is, is the engine computer can adujust the duration of the valve train timing for better performance depending on the engine of course. If the engine is a SOHC with VTEC it is an econo motor(better gas mileage), if it's a DOHC with VTEC then it is a performance motor. The FIT has a SOHC motor 109hp/105ft-lbs, with a weight of 2551lbs. For about the same price you can get a Dodge Caliber with a 1.8L motor w148hp/125ft-lbs. Thats if you're into performance.

Yup. The Caliber is only 300lbs heavier(and larger) than the Fit. The Fit is going to probably handle like every stock Honda, lots of body roll. Are you intending to do anything with the car, or leave it unmodded?If you are just using the car to get to work, and be a grocery-getter then it is probably the right car for you, if performance is your thing you will be disappointed. Then again it also depends on how much you can afford.
