The subcompact Fit four-door hatchback offers easy cabin access and very good visibility. It has an amazing amount of interior room and various seat-folding arrangements. While the Fit is not overly powerful, it feels responsive, with a smooth willing engine, and agile handling. Fuel economy is an excellent 33 mpg overall for the manual and 30 mpg for the automatic. Although the ride is a bit choppy, it is supple enough. But elevated road noise contributes to the din. An electric version is available in limited numbers for lease. It has a range of about 82 miles, and retains nearly all of the regular Fit's attributes.
