Why is the Fit worth the money, you may ask? Well for three important reasons: its performance, its unique exterior and an exceptional interior design!

What makes its performance stand out?

There are three different options for the Honda Fit: the base model, the sport model and a manual transmission model. Reviewers were impressed with how sporty the Fit's 1.5-liter-four-cylinder engine drove. The Fit also has fantastic fuel economy for a car of its size with the automatic base ratings at 28/35 mpg city/highway and Fit Sport and manual transmission models running at 27/33 mpg, according to the EPA.

What makes the unique exterior so important?

Some people see the Honda Fit and think it looks unusual; more people see it and think it looks unique, which it definitely is! Honda deliberately designed the Fit's exterior to provide maximum interior room. The exterior of the car is styled for functionality. With its large, angled headlights and its cab-forward design, the Fit's design provides mass appeal for any age demographic.

What about the interior is so exceptional?

Don't be fooled by its small appearance, the Honda Fit has 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space! When you fold all the seats down, the cargo space expands to upwards of 57.3 cubic feet!! The most distinctive feature of the Fit is the second row "Magic Seat." The seat can be situated in four positions: people, long, tall and utility, which allow you to fit basically anything from a bicycle to a flat screen TV to a very tall person quite comfortably!
