Honda Fit is Safe, Fuel-efficient and Affordable

Safe, fuel-efficient and affordable—what more do you want from your car? If the word ‘luxury’ resonates in your mind, my friend, I urge you to give that up and let me tell you reasons why, I think, you should go for the Fit.

Fit, for a price of $14,400 (five-speed manual transmission) and $15,200 (five-speed automatic transmission) prides itself for being Honda’s lowest priced car. Guess what, this five-door; five-passenger Fit is as endowed as the many expensive cars when it comes to innovations and features.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s fuel economy rating (35.5) has rated the Fit as the third best for a gasoline-powered, non-hybrid, new car sold in the United States. To compensate for its short 13-foot length, the Fit makes best use of all the space provided. The Fit’s total passenger room is 90.1 cubic feet and comes with lengthy 33.7 inches leg-space, 21.3 cubic feet cargo room and greater headroom than the Civic.

Rented one in scotland where it's known as the Jazz, not bad for a small car!

Actually was more impressed by the Fit than the Civic when I saw them in person.

But it's slow, and cramped.
Rather take a Versa. Not bad tho.

Yes, I have. And 11 or so seconds is slow.I don't expect it to be fast, but fast enough to get it out of tight situations. (like seeing a light change to yellow, and you can't stop in time) I'm fairly sure the Hyundi Accent is faster. And 33in of rear leg room is nothing! It may be tall(making it feel roomy), but it's short, and that takes a toll on leg/knee room.

I have seen and driven this car and it is not bad at all considering its price point. Its economical and handles fairly well. And it has all kinds of storage and interior configurations to haul things in it. And it will have Honda's quality!
