Honda Fit

The Fit has an impressive amount of interior space. Honda freed up room for four adults and created flexible folding-seat options by placing the fuel tank under the floor beneath the front seats. The smooth powertrain returned impressive fuel economy with both the manual and automatic transmissions. However, road noise is pronounced, the driving position is flawed, and acceleration is slow with the automatic. Standard ABS and side-curtain airbags are commendable in this price range.
