Honda Windward

We bought our 09 Fit after several months of comparison shopping. It's been great. We like the ease of entry to both the front and rear seats, the utility of the folding seats, the drivers armrest (wish the passenger had one), the I-Pod hookup, and it's small size & maneuverability. Loaded with features, it's the best small car we've ever owned. Mileage is great at over 40 mpg on the highway and it's averaging 35 mpg with our mix of highway and city driving. With 4,000 miles on it in just 4 months, we love it. I'm 6'6", and I fit in the Fit! Lots of headroom and sufficient legroom. Thanks Honda, for not putting some sort of "knee buster" around the area between the front seats or under the dashboard. Plus, I was tired of paying [$]+ per fill-up and getting only 14 mpg around town on premium gas. Now I'm getting great mpg around town on regular, and it costs much less to fill up. Absolutely nothing has been wrong with this car.

Honda Fit - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Honda Fit ranks 1 out of 29 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 30 published reviews and test drives of the Honda Fit, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The 2010 Honda Fit is a winner is almost every respect. Beloved by the automotive press for its innovative storage options, its extensive list of available features and its zippy ride, the Fit is a good choice for anyone shopping for an affordable small car. The 2009 model was even named one of US News & World Report's Best Cars for the Money in the subcompact class.

The 2010 Fit hasn't been on the market long enough to win any awards, but the nearly identical 2009 model has received many accolades for its versatility and excellent design. It was one of Car and Driver's "10Best" for both 2008 and 2009. In addition, it's a Consumer Guide Best Buy and was selected as one of Automobile Magazine's All-Stars for 2009.  Reviewers, themselves, are also exuberant in their descriptions of the Fit.  Car and Driver is especially animated, saying, "We love the Honda Fit. Roomy inside and more fun to drive than a team of coked-up sled dogs."

Among the Fit's most talked about features is its renowned "Magic Seat," which transforms to allow for three separate storage modes -- tall, long and utility -- and is surprisingly comfortable for a rear seat. The Fit is also commended for its long list of standard and available features -- from its 10 cupholders and speed-sensitive volume control to its Satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition. Reviewers are thrilled that you can find all of this in an ultra fuel-efficient car (28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway) that's even fun to drive.

• "The 2010 Honda Fit, a perennial favorite of the automotive press and customers alike, offers value and versatility in a fun-to-drive and fuel-efficient five-door package." -- Automotive.com
• "Fit's strongest selling points are its impressive passenger accommodations and large, versatile cargo space. Sport models add a touch of fun-to-drive appeal. While prices seem steep for a subcompact, this is one in name and exterior size only; it's really a small wagon that challenges some compact SUVs for room while getting significantly better fuel economy." -- Consumer Guide
• "For the small hatchback shopper, or even car enthusiast daydreamers who need something to get to work, Honda's Fit is the best pick out there." -- Edmunds
• "The Fit is pretty near the top of my favorite-cars list, and not because it's so fast and awesome-looking -- because it oh-so ain't. It has the beauty of a certain well-wrought urn, exactly what it needs to be -- self-defined, lightly perfect." -- Los Angeles Times
• "Although this entry-level hatchback is priced slightly higher than most of its competition, the Fit nevertheless offers an ample supply of features, versatility and, above all, that unbeatable Honda resale value." -- Kelley Blue Book
