What makes the "F Package" unique?

The "F" trim level acts as a practical mid-tier option in the Fit lineup. It typically includes:

  • Honda's Magic Seats: The rear seats fold completely flat into the floor or flip upwards, creating incredible cargo flexibility.

  • Keyless Smart Entry & Push Start: Added convenience over the base 13G trim.

  • Retractable Side Mirrors: Often features integrated LED turn signals.

  • Safety features: Equipped with Honda's standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), and dual front airbags. Later versions often feature basic Honda Sensing driver aids.
